A motion to appropriate $4,000
brought Mr.. Farr to his feet, who
opposed it. He wanted to know
where the money was coming from.
He thought we were not prepared
for such a building. He was not in
favor of spreading on style when
we have not the money TO indulge it.
Mr.. Preston said the gentleman
would find that the building would
cost very little over $500 per
capita. The other expense would
lie incidental, the bringing Of water
and the like. The committee did
not believe in putting on style, and
therefore did not recommend the
appropriation of $4,000 asked for.
1t was the object to erect only one
portion of the building, only the
absolutely necessary part was asked
to be built.
Mr.. Jacques was opposed to the ap-
preparation. He recOllected that at
the last session the committee on
appropriations Of the House desired
to economic, and they did so as
much as they could, but the Council
appropriated $4,000 for the insane
asylum. If we had the hair taken
off our heads then, let us try and
keep our scalpS now. He was op-
posed to the eXtravagant expendl-
ture of the peoples money. We
have in this territory 100000 Eper-
sons-enough to make a respectable
sized city; and yet we want to put
up grand building that would an
