Bill, providing for geological survey, reported
| by Mr. Chapman, with proposals of amendment,
providing that $4,000 be appropriated from The
proceeds of the sales of the public lands, after the
payment of the first inslalment. Mr. Hatch moved
TO amend the amendment by adding thereto, a
provision that the act take no effect until $50, 900
of the State debt be paid off, Mr. H. in support OF
his motion, opposed the project Of a survey, on
account of the expense, and demanded the yeas
and nays upon his proposed amendment. MIR Bot
tum thought the gentleman unnecessarily alarmed
about the expense. lie had done what little he
could to repeal the bounty on foxes. The amount
annually paid upon their deiencelesS heads would
more than meet the annual expense, or annual APP
preparation for geological survey OF the state, The
state debt was debt due from the state TO itself,
and the Treasurer, with proper legislative author
ity. could cancel that deb, in five minutes, and
leave a surplus in the Treasury,
Mr. Hatch believed the expense of the contem-
plated survey, if properly and thoroughly perform
ed, would cost at least forty thousand dollars.
The proposed amendment by Mr. Hatch was fur
Their opposed by Messrs Bo,tum and Clark, and
rejected, yeas 8, nays 20, and the bill, as amend
ed in committee, was ordered to be engrossed and
