The MAINE Eye AND EAR lNFiHMARy.
The House having under consideration
the resolve in favor of the Maine Eye ami
Ear lnfirmary, on its passage to he enacted.
Mr.. Sprague of Monson | move 10 re-
commit the resolve to the committee on
financial affairs When this resolve passed
through the House the other day | read the
| ,,f nd sunnnsnl that ti,..y
were correct, hut have been informed that
the appropriation is just double what it was
two years ago. If that is so, want 10 of
fer IN amendment emitting the appropriation
down to what it was two years ago. | 10
not believe we should adopt any rule to en-
large upon any of these appropriations of
the State of any kind beyond what they
have been for the last two Legislatures.
Mr.. Shaw of Portland When the stat
ment of facts was made out the typewriter
operator did not exactly understand tEe
meaning of the statement as outlined, and
the TT suit was u clerical error. The leg
islature has heretofore appropriated 5000
| in one lump sum the first wear leaN ing
nothing the second year This ins,l-
tuition has been doing great and good
work and the demands on its charity have
been so great particularly in the localities
nearest the city, that they have built new
institution and increased its capacity more
than four-fold, and so they felt justified in
asking this Legislature for an increased
appropriation in order that they may con
tinue to carry on the work. Had they asked
for an appropriation in proportion to their
increased capacity, you can readily see that
they would have asked for a great deal
more, but they have simply asked for an
increase of 5000, giving them the same
amount each wear that they received in two
years, previously. | do not think that anyone
who will investigate the institution. would
decline to favor this resolve. or would say
that the institution is not entitled in every
respect to this appropriation, and think Il
! great many of yop would be surprised that
the officers have been so consideratc in not
asking for more. l hope that the resolve
will receive its final passage.
Mr.. Morrill, of Madison: had occasi IN
| to visit that institution since the coGvening
! of the Legislature, ard | merely wish to
say that this s one of the institutions in the
State of Maine which will repay us. in my
opinion, ten fold every wear for what it
costs the State. feel personally great
interest in that ins,i.atiol. and having ia
| fFstikttft Wv bttiDiH titttN Nb'N A. :
some of the officers of the institution and
their mole of procedure AMI the great cx-
pense they are at every year in the way "f
| instruments and Improvements. feel that
! ] can heartily recommend the passage of
/ the resolve.
| Mr.. Shaw of Portland: | hope the bill
will ,ot be recommitted. The financial
4 committee have heard the trustees
and inquired into this matter II you
eoulI hare seen some of the operations !
| have witnessed there. You would certainly
say that the State was none too liberal if it
gave four times the amount which is asked
| for. We have an Institution 'here winch
has cot $4,000. built by the pbilanthropic
! peoEi'. of The State. Ia particular the peo-
/ pie of the city Of Portland AMI tn. counties
! of Knox, W slIo, York AMI Uxfori, and
tho-e 10 the immediate vicinity, ehere the
people y h. are interested could present
their claims for such an institution, have
very generously given of their mrans. !
| hope that action viii he t4kei on the re-
solve at the present time. / any irfornia-
| ton is wanted of course it woul b. proper,
/ but do not SIC but what we have hal am
| pie time TO consider the matter. hope the
motion i'll net prevail
