i Mr.. walton Of 0omsesee-As I under

solve are expected to ~ suHlcient' for ths
purposes named.
Mr.. Haines-I understand 10.
Mr.. Walton-Thsre 10 no debt rsstins
Against ths Institution q the present time
and no intention Of creating any.
Mr.. Haines-I think the $500 10 intended
to cover the hose and carriage that I took
the responsibility 10 cay We ought 70 buy.
Mr.. Walton-Thess is NO intention Of
going In debts
Mr.. Hainss-Nos q all.
Mr.. Walton-Then l have a suysestiou
to make by way Of amendment, perhaps
two; first, to amend the eighteenth line, In
stead OF the words during the year 1891, ("
insert the words ''as required for the above.
named purposes" do mot propose 10 die.
| cuss what the State college has or has NOT
done. The people propose to keep it,
whether IL is an elephant or not, to ascer-
tain what may come from 1t. move 70
amend the bill by adding after the word
'other" in the twenty second line the fol-
lowing; provided further that no part
Of said appropriation Of 4lG,000
| shall be expended until contract
with responsible parties 10 secured,
secured by bond approved by
the Governor aud Council after the COM
pletion Of the new building to replace Win
gate Hall and furnish the same for the aum
above appropriated and the amount of in
sursnce now In the hands Of the trustees of
said college" and that when the vote be
taken it shall be taken by the yeas and
nays. That 10 to prevent any debts being
contracted Against the institution.
Mr.. Rogers Of Washington--I think that
any man who will stand between the peo.
pie of this State and tuberculosis will earn
the everlasting gratitude Of the State.
Mr.. HAines-I intended to cast no re-
Election ON DR.. Bailey. He 10 . personal
friend Of mine. In regard TO the fret
amendment offered by the senator from
Somerset. think myself it 10 better II be
adopted. although think it 10
small matter a. the trustees would
not tsae the money from the
treasury until they wanted it. do not
know what to say with reference to the last
amendment. Suppose = bill Of extras
comes in. II there should be deficit Of
$500, $500, or even $1,000. have no OBJ.
lection TO the spirit Of the amendment
The work 10 to be done in proper and
practical wsy, but I do not know what IL
may lead to. My impression is that the
amendments not required and not neces-
sxry. am willing TO leave it to the good
sense Of the Senate.
Mr. Wuif0n---Mv INDIGNANT Il xt..t tha
two. fold capacity in which the Senator
from Kennebec appears are incompatible,
as trustee OF the institution and ~ q legis-
lator. Certainly he ought to know how
much will be required. IL it is not sufl-
cient let us make i. sufficient. Let us for
once have this institution out Of
debt. The Senator from Kenncbec
knows how it has been for . number
of years past, Resolves for the Agricul-
tuxal college. making appropriations ever
since 1871 until within few years, have
been made with the express condition that
they should be the end of the appropriation
for that college, but every session the trus-
tees come in and ask for double the amount
OF preceding years, and get it, too. They
have been treated we'll. have nothing to
say against them. IL this resolve means
V"es - "oyrp ies uc bus ~ ih tuo Itsutvt.
1t they mean to come In here two years
hence and ask for smother appropriation
that 10 another thing. II anything unfore-
seen occurs there is no doubt this legis-
lature will take care of the State college.
MIR. ROgers-i would like to ask the SEN
at0r from kennebec IL there 10 any tuber-
colosis in the herd now
Mr.. uaincs l will refer the senator to
liz n.flou \ la'k -
Of cows to save my life.
Mr.. Rogers-If there 10 It 10 not safe to
manufacture butter down there and sell
milk that 10 liable to produce tuberculosis.
think any institution or individual who
sells tuberculosis milk or butter ought to
be prosecuted.
tion Of the senator that there il no member
OF the board who would do anything Of the
kind he intimstes il he knew It. We do not
desire to propagate disease in this State
The condition is to be determined from
time to time. II may be lacking today and
break ont any day. Ths butter that 10
made, | am told. sells for the highest mar
ket price.
The motion Of the senator from Wash
ington not being seconded, failed.
The yeas and nays being taken on the
second amendment offered by the senator
from Somerset resulted: Yeas, Messrs.
Adams, Chaplin, Mallet, MehAn, Nash,
Rogers, SwAnton. Wadiin, Walton, Warren
and Wilbur--ll. Nays. Messrs. Giles,
Gilmore. Grindle. Haines, Hunt, Mayo,
Nuuing, Pettepgill, Poore, Powers. Ryder,
Sherman, Smith, Stewart and Thatcher
Is. So the amendment was lost.
On motion by Mr.. Walton. the bill was
amended by the adoption after the word
payable" in the 18th line the words "as
required for above named purposes, the
words 'during the year 1891" being
stricken out of said line. The bill ~
amended, passed to he engrossed.
Special assignment Senate documsnt No.
"a. "B;ll relating to agricultural fairs to
prevent fraud" was taken from the table by
Mr.. Haines Of Kennepec.
Mr.. Haines--Tbis bill was reported
unanimously by the committee on sgricult.
ure. 1t Is largely to put on our statute
book what is the rule OF the national $3.50.
cisiion or so much Of it ~ pertains to trot-
ting horses. Leading men interested in
these matters cay it 10 needed provision,
il being intended to prevent entering horses
out OF their proper classes. move it take
its severs! readings and pass to be en-
crossed.
Mr.. Ryder of Penobscot offered an
amendment to the bill to strike out in sec
tion 2, ''such horse shall be forfeited and
ordered by the court to be sold.'
Mr.. Grirdle Of Hsncock--It seems to
me proper thing that the animals should
be forfeited.
Mr.. Rogers of Washinaton-This bill
seems to me unnecessary. II may be
clas.ed among the blue laws. II enacted il
will become dead letter. l move that it
be indefinitely postponed.
The ameA'iment proposed by Mr.. Ryder
was lost. The bill took its second reading
and was passed to be engrossed.
