Tho bill TO appropriate i've millions for the construction
Of this road farther discussed yesterday in tho House
oil Delegates. An umendment offered by Mr.. Anderson
70 reduce the appropriation % three millions was rejected
oy large majority. An amendment 10 Substitute tso
mons was then adopted by vote Of 65 to 1o-and In
that shape, the bill was ordered to be engrossed.
We are opposed to this bill out and out-and We car
nesty hope IL may be defeated We have two insupera
BILE objections to il. l. We would not trust two millos
TO the present Board Of Public works-especay In view
OF the report, rather conrmed-that
one OF Its members considers there Is more
In his specializing in lands the competing reuter- than
any private citizen The money Appropriated by this bill
goes into the hands Of that Board-and Il may for aught
We know, be in specializing for their own bene.
fit We ,cant faiU-and would not trust tho public mon.
ey in that quarter q This road to be constructed by
public money alone-by direct taxes upon aR the people
OF the SAte and therefore, if it does beue6t ALL /,
should not inhict serious injury upon large portion
and that too not to the profit Of the Of the State
out 70 the profit OF Bahmoe-a city beyond the limits
tho Commonwealth We are unwilling to be taxed for
any such purpose.
The vote of 10, ordering the bill to be engrossed, falls
short some seven Of the constitutional majority requisite
to pass the BILL and in hopes that that additional
number cannot be obtained or the passage Of the bill
This IS the only improvement Of any consequence we
believe which, il Is proposed without the aid
oil individual subscriptions, and by of the public
treasury aone tiherelore should be State
road and not Baltimore road and members should be
more than ordinarily careful with respect the sum voted
and the hands into which il shall pass If the members
ofthe Board of Public Works may use it for specuaous
oil their own-the whole may he wasted in lea than ak
months
We do not why this road should not be put ON tho
same footing with all others, especially il it ia to be
mere local affair." and Balimote to reap all the general
benefits from it. We hope member who has re-
garu 'or the ah'fdaen people Of the nd is NOT
willing to enter upon work which Ia cost Indefinite
millions, will move to subject it the same conditions
that other improvements have to endure e., require
ss Of the stock to be subscribed by individual and let
the million already advanced by the State 20 rs part of
