ton and establishment Of new institutions,
and the appropriation Of funds for the con-
structiOn of suitable buildings therefor,
and. also for the maintenance of such and
existing institutions for the ensuing two
years, and

proper maintenance and management of
existing institutions for more than one
year. And that it is equally unwise and

even without appropriations, except some

admission,
Therefore be it Resolved. That this house
hereby direct the committee or committees

ritOry and the admission Of North Dakota
and South Dakota is now assured and
whereas the appropriating of public
moneys to establish new public institu-
tions or providing for the issue Of bonds to
establish and maintain such new institu-
tutiOns would result in unnecessary con-
fusion in the adjustment of the Territorial
debt debt thus , increased, and whereas each
of its own public fund, therefore be it re-
ses0lved by the house of representatives
that no appropriation should be made by
this the last territorial legislature TO r the
establishment and support of new in
stitutiOns.
This was also made special order for
tomorrow.
