AMI the State will be one
Mr. HAYES said the municipal officers may
commit children. and the school il open in
measure to the entire State. We provide .
reform school for boys, and there was no OBJ
| lection 10 that. Why should there be to this
school! This should not be regarded as an
| aims house
Mr.. DEAEEogS said he would be pleased
TO vote TO give 5000 or $4,000 to
this school; but had duties to his
constituents as well as to the school, which
he could not disregard.
| Mr.. STRICKLAND thought there was dis
parity between the amount given the Reform
School and this institution. He did not OPP
pose the appropriation
| Mr. PArrES said he always noticed that
these Institutions asked for more than they ex-
| pccted 10 receive.

izing Gardiner and Pittston to raise money

bridge. was taken from the table.
Mr.. PA.cHEn offered an amendment, the
effect of which would be to strike out the
provision for considering the matter at a
special meeting, and that il should be done
at the annual meeting. He said that by the
law Of 1869 the tow ns could accomplish their
object by two-thirtls vote, and the vote had
never been taken. The passage of the bill
gives them authority to purchase the bridge
and make it free, by two-thrds vote. He
thought the matter ought TO be decided at the
annual meeting.
