Council in 1870, and was chairman Of the
Committee on Why's and Means, and the Su-
perintendent of Schools did not get single
cent. He did not object to the striking out
OF the provision for contingent fund, but 1t
10 necessary to have it in case the legislature
fails to make appropriations for resolves.
Mr.. PERRY of Oxford thought it well to
scrutinize these items. He would be glad to
adopt the system adopted in the House OF
Representatives at Washington, where every
item OF an appropriation bill is considered by
itself.
Mr.. PIKE remarked that these money grants
should not be mixed up with this everlasting
railroad business. He was for disposing OF
all railroad matters and then coming to the
business of the session and looking after
these money grants. Every man wants
railroad, and some two, and as il is so often
that one will vote for bill for the sake OF
getting ancther's support, he thought 1t would
be economy that these matters approprlating
money should be considered by themselves. tie
did not know but " hat this bill was right, yet
he thought it should b. deliberately discussed.
Mr.. PORTER remarked that it was the an
ticipaton of the committee to have the bill
criticised.
Mr.. HOLDEN was glad to see members SO
watchful OF matters pertaining to appropriations
the gentleman from Whiteteld Mr.. Carelton)
for his watchfulness over the Treasury.
Mr.. PERRY of Oxford, stated that he had
been informed by the Superintendent OF
Schools that he had never had dollar out
of the contingent fund"
The matter was further discussed, and then
laid upon the table and tomorrow as
signed.

Auburn Railroad Company being upon its
