The third section being before the House,
Mr Mcconnell moved to add a proyiso,
requiring the citizens of Johnstown TO defray
the expense of erecting the public buildings
Mr.. Hubbs hoped this amendment would
be adopted. The people of Westmcreland
county had recently purchased farm, and
erected commodious poor house, and were
now erecting new set of public buildings-
part of which expense had been paid by the
| township proposed 10 be taken from West
moreland 1t was unjust to subject them to
taxation for similar purpose, in the new
county, if it was erected
Mr.. King said, this was question which
the people would determine for themselves
after the county government was formed =
He hoped the proviso would not be adopted.
/ The proviso was agreed to. as follows -
