Mr.. PLANTS said he was perfectly willing
to vote ior the report of the committee; but
he thoughtit was clearly waste Of time to try
to do any thing in that way. He did not believe
the measure could be carried through 0sj .
Mr.. DEV0RE, though in favor Of disposing
Of the. canals, and believing the Legislature
onght not to adjourn until it was donej but he
felt Satisfied that no responsible parties would
| lease under the bill as reported, ,ls4W {
Mr.. BROWNE, of Miami, said it was well
understood that he was opposed to all schemes
| for leating the canals. He would vote for no
lease bill. Butif he wanted billto pass pur
porting to lease, and yet well calculated TO de-
feat its own object, he would desire the passage
of this bill. lst f5137G
Mr.. McSCHoOLER, like Mr.. Browne, was
opposed to any REIMBURSEMENT Of these works
by the State. But this bill was evidently i'm.
practicable, and would not answer any good
purpose. He believed the State should keep
the Canals and reform their management. ~
