selves embarrassed for lack of funds, hence
the debt Of go, 1000 alluded to- I advised
the oommta9ton to issue warrants ON the
building fund for the amount, but there be.
Ing no balance In this fund, Of course the
credttors must wait The real estate named
tended 70 be disposed Of to pay for tho erec-
ton Of this building. Tho TACT that II has
depreciated In value Ii faiif6ftune, bit IL
does not alter the obligation entered Into to
pay the men who contributed time and ma
tend toward tho structure and to pay them
the property now and some bf the cfeditorv
may feel disposed to wait, but they should
not be compelled to do this under protest.
They did their work in good faith, They
know only the single feet that the legislature
OF the territory had authorized the work and
ward The act OF ono legislature may be
overturned by . subsequent one, but the
falth and credit and reliance that tho out
side world place In the lawmaking power
should not be shaken by any failure to com
ply with contracts honestly performed under
those chosen to administer 1t recon-
mend, therefore, that the Legislature confer
upon the present or any future COM
mission that may be appointed, the power to
reappraise and sell tho lands remaining to
the capitol commission and pay their debts
As have said, the heating apparatus IL not
included In the debt of $2O,OOO. The
steam. OF course, takes the place Of stoves,
except that 30 large . structure could
scarcely be made comfortable with the lat
yer: Ihe properly remaining unsold ought
TO be amply sufhcteht, and will be, doubt
not, under proper management, to pay all
the debts, including the expense Of liithtinR.
