S. 3. 92 to provide for buildings and improve
ments OF the institution for the deaf, dumb and
blind (bv Mr. Nye), was taken up
| Mr.. NYE wanted to know what the recon-
mendation OF the Committee on Public Buildings.
| He thought the committee had neglected its duty in
not informing the Senate on the subject.
| Mr.. BAKER warmly responded by saying that the
committee, at the request of the head OF the nsti-
tuition, and with the desire of avoiding conflicting
reports made no recommendation, but had attended
to its duties and thoroughly investigated the affair.
| 1t was in favor of making reasonable appropria-
| ton Whatever recommendation the committee
| might make would have no effect ON the Senator
| from Alameda who snee ed at the committee and
spoke of the cohesive power of public plumber y
| when it had reported unanimously in favor of
| allowing the appropriation for the Normal School
| grounds
| Mr. NEUMASN would have favored larger appro-
priation at the last session had it been asked for,
| but now he was opposed to makiag another appro-
| priatlon Another school-house could be built he
| thought for the accommodation of $50 inmates for
$4,000. The speaker regretted that so much per-
| sonal feeling had been manifested, and concluded
by moving that the bill be laid the table Lost.
Mr.. NyE said that he felt somewhat cruhsed by the
| old woman-like TRADE Of the Senator from Santa
| Clara but would still venture, in his feeble way,
| to say that the Chairman of the Committee on Pub
| lie Buildings had not answered his question and told
him the opinion of the committee in reference to
the bill. He finished by saJ ing, that while he had
no particular love for the gentleman from Santa
| Clara he did not dislike him, either
! Mr.. JOHNSON opposed the bill, and asserted that
the gentleman from Alameda had come before the
| committee and attempted to browbeat lis members
and force through the bill. He proposed to vote

| referred

| been exhibited He could not but think that the

expenses Of the State would be very high this year.

Mr.. NYE said that it was no pet measure OF his.
Ii personal hostility to himself was gong to injure
| the silent and sghtess wards OF the State, he
would be sorry that he had introduced the BILL or
| come to the Senate. If it was proved that there
was necessity for the appropriation, he would go
| against it, he went against every appropriation
that was not absolutely necessary in the course of
the administration Of the government. IL after see
| ing the plans the Senate did not unanimously agree
| that the appropriation necessary, he would be
willing to drop the bill.
