part of the Governors message relating t,
of e
into per cent. bonds. The same suffice
was considered atthe last session. but wa
delayed in the House fr"m time to time
until 1t fell through. There appears to Il
general disposition on the part of til
present members to favor the Schene
which will effect an annual saving of alou
$4,000 in interest. The only objection
urged is that the measure may SAVIOR of ur
fairness to the holders of the present bond
which pay 6 per cent. interest, The rel !
is that they bought the bonds knowing
to be in the power of the legislature I
fund them at "a lower rate Of interestwhe1
ever it felt disposed to do so.

ready TO encourage him to present b
views and ensure them due consideration
