| There were several protracted de-
/ bates and a few incidents that
| pleased the crowded gallery and
! lobby.
The report of the judiciary COM
mittee recommending the indefinite
! poStponement of the Anderson bill
| to tax railroad lands was presented
at the morning session. Senator AL
len presented a minority report,
! which contained lengthy address
! by the four members of the COM
mittee that diSsented, and moved
that the bill be placed upon general
orders, and that the minority re-
| port and address be printed in the
| journal. Senator Culkin being in
the chair stated that the bill was
| already near the head of general
| orders.
Senator McHale stated that the
subcommittee on constitutional law
had unanimously reported to the
| judiciary committee that, after an
examination as to the legal aspect
of the bill, it would be inadvisable

large majority of nine to four and
recommended indefinite postpone
ment. He made this explanation so
that the senate might know the con-
dition the bill is in
Senator Howard wanted the bill

NEW HOSPITAL TALK.
The fight was renewed by Senator
Culkin upon the bill to locate a site for
a fourth hospital for the insane. He
wanted the cost of the site limited to
$4,000. He warned the senator's from
the two cities that if it was designed
to locate the asylum within the boun-
diaries of the Twin Cities they should
come out and admit it,
Senator Stebbins said he had drawn
the bill without consulting a single SEN
ator from Ramsey or Hennepin conn
| ties. He knew that another asyluno
had to be provided, and he thought
that the nature of the facts warrants
the location near the cities. A vote
pelng taken to reduce the amount al
lowed for. site to $4,000 carried the
amendment to that effect. Senator Nc
Hale ohered an amendment to give
power to condemn land for a site. This
also induced long debate, and was
adopted Senator Culkin offered a
1urther amendment that the site be
selected within Wright county. He

thousht the amendment would be lost,

Senator Durham offered a further
amendment to the effect that Anoka
! county be considered. Senator Iltis
| wanted Carver county included. and
| made speech abiding to the advan-
| tages of Chaska in location and buiId-
| ing material. He said they could give
| site that is beautiful. and at the
same time overlook Carver and Scott
| county, and even Wright county. if il
| were not for the woods He would NOT
| ask that Chaska should be selected
! unless 1T is the better place. Senator
| Greer proposed an amendment provid-
| ing Tor recommending to the board

plan OF buildings, or buildings for sep
afate counties, which was discussed

ueHnlte counties were voted down

each congressional district, and each of
