Noble Baldwin said the claim was
just one, so recognized by the Min
lister Of the Interior, and it was a
shame the man had not been paid.
1t seemed pity in such case that
he should have 10 go into Court TO re-
cover his money.
Noble Young wanted to know whe-
Their the Road Board had not power to
pay it. On being answered, yes, the
speaker said he could not favor the
report then.
Noble Neumann wanted to know
why the Road Board did not pay.
Noble Thurston said there is no
reason. 1t is pure cussedness.
Noble Neumann said that was what
he supposed. He could not favor the
report but hoped Mr.. Colburn would
sue the board and get costs and dam
ages out of them, to teach them their
duty.
Rep. White favored the motion to
| lay the report on the table, and
agreed that it would be establishing
q bad precedent to insert an item in
the bill. This bill would be the rat
which gnawed the first hole in

would follow. The House should
not be troubled with petty claims of
this kind. The report was laid on
the table.

the taxes and open up land which Is
now unapproachable. Although the

opening of the proposed streets is in
the public interest, they are unable t
recommend the appropriation, they
having no data of the amounts neees
