| M,tSE STATE COLLEGE.
The House having under consideration
| for its passage to be enacted the resolve III
favor of the Maine State College of Agti
culture and Mechanic Arts,
| MI. Higgins of Limerick: | move that
this resolve lie on the table. The demands
made on the State by this college are mosi
extraordinary. Ii has been before this Ii z
| islature at every session since it was estab
lished and it has seceived from the State
more than $500. 600 and it still continues tt
come. We are told that this institution be-
ing of a semi-military character, it is nee
essary for the students to have
a sand bank to fire lead into
1t seems to me that there are other ways
in which the State money can be better ex-
pended. do not believe that it is neces-
airy. Another item here is the improve
ment of the campus, $500. 1t seems &c
ME that that improvement can be made at a
later day, They have hothouses there
should judge by this statement, and variou,
mechanical and hydraulic apparatus AM
natural history departments, for which they
ask the sum of SIC 900 in all. This bill BY
itself is one thin. but il 4 ia T. stood that
they intend to come before Us Tor smother
appropriation at this session of $50, 900.
contend that this bill should be tabled unit
the other bill is brought before us asking
for the appropriation of $4,000. and ther
this House should judge as a whole as tc
what they will give the board of trus
tees.
Mr.. Harris of East Machias During the
% years that this institution has existed
the State has appropriated the sum OF
1901 900. What the State had derived
from it you yourselves are the judges.
may say in this connection that the value
of the property at Orono belonging to the
State. not including the farm, is estimated
by competent parties at S2i6,00 That
leaves s54 900 which has been spent in re-
pairs and incidental expenses during tho
pas, % years. 1t is true that this institu
ton has come before the Legislature al
nearly every session and it will continue &c
do so. That was the understanding upor
which we received the draft from the ma
tional government, and when the State
decides not to do that, then the college can
go. This institution is more economically
administered so far as the State of Maine
is concerned than any other State which
has aeceI ted this draft and established an
agricultural college. This item OF
S25o0 is for grading purposes
aud in the opinion of the committee wine
visited the grounds that sum was needed
| The item for tie embankment is necessar,
as matter of safe.y to the inhabitants in
| that vicinity, and il seemed to the commit
tee that there should be this safeguard. In
| the opiaion of experts who made the esii-
mates the amount required is 5000. 1t las
| been said that this college is going 10 ash
| for $50 600 more. There is no authority
| for making that assertion. The committee
have not voted upon that matter. We may
make that recommendation or we may not.
| If We do, it is something entirely distinct
| from this appropriation. That matter
should not prejudice us in the least in our
action npon the appropriation which is re-
| uupsted TO-DAY This appropriation il
