against The bull. He stated, that the public iouI-
naIs o. 'his city had correctly stated him as being

Igueu, that It was not necessary to make the APP
PREPARATION provided by the bill; that if the Com.

INDIVIDUALS, they would have funds enough TO carry
out their improvements.
MT WILLIAMS supported it at length All they
asked at the hands Of the State was 81 900 to
complete this road by the erection of bridges, ms
wen as 10 give such fund would enable them to
sNeSu'e the repairs necessary upon n new and I'M
hnished road. The gentleman from Southampton

n'sn me necessary funds by calling in and collecting
Iner ueots. The road was paying good interest
anu when finished would continue to nav good in.
eres'. III the State did not step forward the large
sum which they had already invested in this road
u'gnt DC Jeoparded, inasmuch, as it the necessary
repairs could not be made at the proper time the
road would become valuelesS, and, consequently.
the tolls would be lost i''
MIR. DoRMAs would ask whether the House would

was subscription of SIS ,00O and her guarantee for
