amendments.
The Speaker ruled that as the bill had
been ordered to lie ON the table and mtde
the special order for >. o'clock this after

suspension Of the rules.
Mr.. Park, Of Bennington, moved that
the rule be suspended TO enable the vote

had on the bill until q o'clock this after

Fl. l9S, to make provision for the suppor
of government; the question being on tn
amendment proposed by Mr.. Pingry +
strike out so much as authorizes the pay
ment of $40 per cent. interest.
Mr.. Park, of Bennington, said that pro
vision was put in the bill at the sugges
tion of the State Treasurer, the same pro
vision having been in the bills of the las
two years. He stated fully the reason
that influenced the Treasurer in maxim!
this request, and the benefit that had re
suited from the bills of last year He sal,
there seemed to be an inconsistency in al
lowing the Treasurer to pay higher in
terest than was allowed to private eiti
zens, but to enable the Treasurer to ge
the money needed, it seemed to be neces
sary.
Mr.. Pingry, Of Weathersfeld, said h
had consulted with the Treasurer, ant
upon reflection he was willing this claus
should be stricken out, as be could proba
bly, obtain all the money he needed with
out that permission. He should probabl,
have to go out of the State for the money
and he would have the right to pay lie
gal interest where the money is obtained
Mr.. Miner, OF Manchester, doubted j
the Treasurer would be authorized to pa
any more than six per cent if this claus
. is stricken out.
Mr.. Wheelock, of Berlin, said if tn
Treasurer is allowed to go out of the Stat
and pay more than six per cent, we bet
/ sNi tAiOW MIN W Optill Allt iuOiltN III III
State OF our own capitalists and pay ther
as much as he would have to pay foreig
capitalists.
Mr.. Park, of Bennington, Mr.. Converse
of Woodstock, favored the retaining of tn
clause, allowing Repayment of SLOPE
cent. interest.
Mr., Brigham, of Hydepark, would &
even farther than the gentleman who ha
spoken, and would make the rate hig
enough to make it an object for our ow
. citizens to furnish the Treasurer tn
money, instead of compelling him to g
out of the State for it.
The proposed amendment was the
: unanimously disagreed to, and the bi
ordered to third reading.
