Mr.. Pingry OF Weathersheld called ~
House bill les, to make provision for the
support of government the question being
to strike out - much as authorizes the pay
ment Of = 40 Ter cent. interest.
Mr. Park Of Bennington said that pro-
vision was put in the blll ut the suggestion
Of the State Treasurer, the same provision
having been in the bills OF the last TWO
years. Ire stated fully the reasons that
influenced the Treasurer in making this re-
the bills Of last year. He said there
seemed to be an Inconsistency in allowing
the Treasurer to pay higher interest than
was allowed To private citizens. bnr to en-
able the Treasurer to get the money needed.
T it seemed to he necessary.
Mr.. Pingrv, Of Weathersheld, said he
had consulted with the Treasurer. and upon
reflection he was willing this clause should
be stricken out, he could probably obtain
all the money he needed without that per
mission. He should probably have 70 90 out
Of the State for the money, and he would
have the right 70 pay legal interest where
the money is obtained.
Mr. Miner Of Manchester doubted if the
Treasurer would be authorized 70 pay any
more than six per cent, if the clause is
stricken out.
/ Mr.. W heelock Of Berlin. said il the Treas
urer is allowed to 60 cut of the State and
BAY more than six per cent, we better allow
him To obtain the money in the State Of our
own capitalists and pay them much as he
would have to ray foreign capitalists.
/ Mr.. Park Of Bennington, Mr.. Converse of
+ Woodstock, favored the retaining OF the
clause, allowing the payment Of $40 per
cent interest. Mr. Brigham of Hydepark,
would 90 even farther than the gentleman
who had spoken, and would make the rate
high enough 10 make ii an object for our own
citizens to furnish the Treasurer the money,
instead Of compelling him to go out of the
State for Il.
The proposed amendment was '-unani
mously disagreed to. and the bill ordered to
third reading.
On motion of Mr.. " heatley of Woodbury.. /
adjourned.
