The bill, he would give the reasons
which induced him TO report it. lie
then went on 10 show that these tolls
were, by aIaw off695, pledged to 8
specific bject-lbat in 1884 they were
again pledged and granted TO this com

grant, which was sought 10 be repeal.
ed by this bill, was absolutely void -
as tbeformor grant was conclusive.
But supposing that The latter grant was
or is valid, and the Legislature had
power TO make il, the same principle
or reasoning which would support the
1atter grant, would support the pres

tollsfrom the FIRST pledge, was not ex
hausted by the latter grant, but lhaI
the power could be exercised ad infn
