THE STATE CAPITOL.
The finance committee reported a substitute
for the bill of Mr.. Wilson for the repair, re-
building and refurnishing of the State capt.
tol. 1t provides for the issue of $4,000
bonds to be used for the purpose.
DR.. Dunn presented the following minority
report:
The undersigned, member of the finance
committee, reports on H. F. No. 679, bill to
appropriate money to rebuild the capitol:
That it is not the part of wisdom to rebuild
the old capitol building in the manner pro-
posed; that experience has shown in the re-
cent fire that nothing short of fire proof
structure should take the place of the old
capitol. The loss of SO much valuable
property as was lost by the fire, as well as
the extremely narrow escape of the legislators
from horrible death by fire, should admonish
us to make no temporary provision for the
wants of the State such as this bill contem-
plates The minority recommend that the
matter Of building a capitol be referred to a
joint committee of both houses to take into
consideration the matter, and to report to the
next session of the legislature what Of right
ought to be done. The present provision
is believed to be ample until proper permanent
quarters can be obtained, and further that said
bill be indefinitely postponed.

length, and was sustained by Messrs. Nc
Craeken and Sheardown. Messrs. Smith,
