The PRESIDING oFFcER Il The senator's amend
Mr.. BADGER II il is out Of order, I win not move
Mr. KING think there is great propriey in the sug
all OF this appropriation will be expended, and much
more Congress be induced to appropriate, just
long as the money can be expended. Now, sir we are
told that we cannot get to the depot il they it
they expected do Is il absolutely necessary that
we should make this appropriation before have salts
factory information Of the necessity OF III THE re-
mander Of the remarks Of Mr. KING not audible
the Reporters desk He understood 10 be opposed
10 the appIopriation-REP.l
Mr.. MANGUM. There is no way Of reaching the
place where the depot is 10 be situated except you 90
by the Washington House, where all know that the
way s obstructed BY numerous guleys The other streets

parment and this depot, cannot be opened this year
and, unless the appropriation is made in this bill, there
will not be time to have the appropriation made in
finish that avenue understand that the chairman Of
the committee which the honorable from Rhode
Island referred have made this proposition but
being called Of the city, left here for his colleague
Mr. BORLAND. am disposed TO be very liberal in
expendng money in the District of Columbia; but il
that the given for this appropriation
is rather strange II involves the necessity if
carry out the principles of following the railroad
pany wherever it goes.
Mr. MANGUM. Will the senator from Arkansas al
low 10 make correction!
Mr.. BORLAND. Certainly
Mr.. MANGUM. had misconceived the fact when i
stated that this smendmentwas suggested by the Com
muee the District of Columbia. The honorable SEN
ator from Virginia, who is absent from the city,
upon his responsibility, being thoroughly satisfied OF
its importance, determined to offer this amendment
Mr.. B0RLAND As before remarked, / am disposed
10 be very liberal appopriang money for the District
OF Columbia and Washington city. Bul this
to be very small see the necessity of
appropriang this money, because the railroad depot is
be removed unless il proposed to follow the railroad
wherever the contractors may carry it, II would be
rather hard matter 10 carry out the principle should
they remove their depot half way TO Baltimore. But
have no sort of fear the world that the railroad
pany will put their depot where II cannot be easily
reached do think that Congress is called upon 10
make highway to afford facilities for travel to get to the
railroad depot
Mr.. HALE moved an adjournment which was agreed
to;
And the Senate adjourned
