IN HoUsE.
Mr. REED moved reconsideration Of the vote
whereby the House passed to be engrossed, re-
solve in favor Of new insane hospital. Carried
The same gentle nan moved to amend by strik-
ing out the provision appropriating S50,0oo Tor
| the inauguration of new insane hospital.
Mr.. NORTH stated that he was unavoidably alb
sent Yesterday when the resolve was under con-
sideration. But he desired to say that in his opin-
ion, it was placing great power In the hands OF
three men. He understood from several members
that they had not fully understood the effect Of the
resolve and that it was desirable that the matter
should be again passed upon. The measure in
augurates the expenditure Of four or five hundred
thousand dollars. He thought it a matter that
should be deliberately considered, AID that should
not be passed at this stage of the session whe n
everything is in confusion, and not favorable to
deliberaton. lie therefore moved to amend the
amendment BY adding, land report to the next
legislature"
The amendment was accepted by Mr.. REED.
Mr.. REEDS amendment was tken adopted,
which leaves the resolve so that il provides that
a commission of three shall consider the subject
of new Insane Hospital, and report TO the next
legislature.
