Or expsnd.ng any further sums Of money I,
lsfrsy the expenses Of the armory com0itte'
IN Washington. We do not question tn
egsli,y Of M. Hubbell's proceedings. bu. "
40 question the propriety. If five hundred O
thousand dol'ars will secure the armory I,
Rack Island, We say it ehould be cheerful,
given. Tie chsnces for ite location in ou

sorry. and we pre.ume Mr Hubbell would yer,
much regret. to have the arnory located a
