Mr.. Darsie called attention to the very
large amount of appropriation for the pub
lie works, which he remarked would strike
Senators with surprise. The amount ap-
propriated for repairs and ordinary expen-
ses alone, amounted TO almost as much as
the revenue derived from the whole works
in any one year. He thought the Com
monwealth would be well rid of these
works. For his part he was sick of them
and would be willing to give them away
if the State can not get rid o. them in any
other way.
The Senate progressed TO the salaries Of
the Judges, when long discussion ensued,
resulting in increasing the salaries of the
Supreme Court Judges, $500 each.

any disorderly proceedings, such as throw

occasionally indulge in.
