VETO MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR
communication was received from the Governor
vetoing the bill authorizing the village OF Adams TO
issue bonds for the purpose OF aiding in rebuilding
the HungerfOrd Collegiate Institute, and TO levy
tax for the payment OF the same. The bill author,
ICES and requires the President OF the Board OF
Trustees OF Adams, on the consent of majority OF
the taxable Inhabitants at special election to issue
corporate bonds TO the amount OF $4,000, these
bonds TO be delivered 10 the HungerfOrd Collegiate
Institute at gift pay ment, principal and interest be-
ing required by the bill, to be provided for by gen.
eral tax on the property of the village. remon-
STRANGE extensively signed has been forwarded TO
the Legislature, protesting against compul-
sorry git to private institution the adj,
vantages of which, as claimed, be enjoyed
only by the few more wealthy OF the people, while
the tax is levied In equal proportion on the homes
education Of the common schools. In his Judgment
this was not case In which the Legislature should
jnterp0se to authorize tax to be levied upon the
property OF the people OF town or village, what
ever may be said as to the propriety OF permitting
town or village, upon the consent Of majority OF
the taxable Inhabitants to issue its bonds and lend
its credit In aid OF any public improvement Ii does
not appear to be just that the creation OF a debt
should be authorized for the purpose contemplated
by the bill and tax levied upon the property Of the
people when large numbers OF them demonstrate
against 1t.
by 40 to 5s Debate was had on the passage OF the
same over the veto.

for the construction ana maintenance OF bridge
over the Iroughneoga river IN the town OF Cuyler,

has been several years OF dispute between the two

1861 IN proceedings Instituted by the Commissioners
OF Highways of the town of Truxton. the supreme
Court decided thar the town OF TruXton was not
Liable as an adjoining town, to unite with Cuyler in
building the bridge. In view OF thIs decision the
Governor submits that this BILL against which all the
town officers OF TruXton rcmOnstrate. should not
become law and respectfully asks its reconsidera-
ton.
