site for Soldiers Home, provided the pur-
chase money for such site shall not exceed
$4,000. The Commissioners may, ii they
Judge it proper to do so, arrange with the
Federal Government for adapting the State
stone quarry property to National Sol

ment of State institution. But the whole
matter is left entirely to the discretion of
the Commissioners, who, if they take any
action in the premises, are to report to the
next General Assembly. ]ie T. 80
