Mr. Latin hoped the motion to print would not

nothing buta ruse to defeat it. If immediate
action was not taken, the probability was that
it couldn't pass during the session. AS to the I

As had been the case heretofore, when similar
aid had been given to other roads, this company

the doors of the capitol to have the mortgage
raised with the cry that if such was not done the
road couldn't go on; so in the end the expense
wouldfall upon the State. An act had just been
