exciting debate. the fight being over an

ing on, this appropriation was finally de-
featcd.
GOVERNORS NETOEs.
The Committee for Courts Of Justice re-
ported that the Governor be sustained IN
his veto OF the bin 20 incorporate the
Fredericksburg Telephone Company but
tbat the hills TO amend the charter of the
Rerklev Electric Railway Company ana
tho John C. Hcrkcmp Company OF fitn-
ericksbura. be passed Notwithstanding t"'
Governors objections.
The latter measure was first taken up
Mr.. Little said ne hoped the report Oh
the committee would be adopted. lie
said the Governor had vetoed scNefal
bills similar to this. giving as his reason
FOR so doing that the powers conferred
were too bread.
'.,rhe Governor fails TO distinguish
said Mr. Little. "the difference between
the object OF corporation ana me po"
crs granted 10 that corporation. As Tar as
the tige being defective i'm that II did not
convey the object for which the company
WAS Incorporated was concerned, MI Lit
lie said that numbers of bills had been
passed with titles ,'hich did not express
more than the one 20 his measure, ana
mentioned the act Incorporating the W j.
Dance Company. which the Executive
approved at the last session OF the Legs
laturc.
Tho dill was then passed by a vote, of
q 10 8. Messrs. Boykin. Green, ana VII
liams voting in the negative.
The next veto hill taken up was the one
TO amend the charter Of the Berkley
Street Railway Company.
Mr. Mason stated that the objection of
the Governor was that the company
should not be allowed TO use any of its
surplus power for any purpose not desig-
mated in its charter. This Mr. Mason
said. was an unreasonable objection. as
he thought corporation had the same
right as an individual. This bin was then
passed without a dissenting vote.
The Governor was sustained in his
veto Of the bill 10 incorporate the fredcr-
ickshurg Telephone Company. the Com
mittce for Courts Of Justice. TO which the
measure and the message were referred
having reported the bill with the recon-
mendation that II do not pass.
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF VIRGINIA.
The appropriation bin was taken up
and read. The first objection made 10
any appropriation was raised by Mr.
Tredway TO that Of $500 TO the Medical
College Of Virginia. and he offered an
amendment striking IL out.
This college was not state institution
said Mr. Tredway. and an that ever made
II appear In any light ds such was that
they allowed ten free students" TO re-
ceve instruction there, which. If paid for
would cost only $500.
Mr.. Wickham. as chairman Of the III
nance Committee. in reply % Mr. Tired
way. said that the Medical College of
Virginia was the only charitable institu-
ton OF its kind in the State lie said
that as far as Mr.. TredNays statement
that Virginia should not hc asked 10 pay
the salaries Of the physicians at the i'm
stitutiOn was concerned that only 81 800
was paid out for this purpose. ana this
went TO two officers who were compellod
10 ike at the college ia order to attend
10 their duties there. and devoted their
whole time 10 the work. The other ply
sicians not only gave their services free
10 the relief OF such charity patients as
came there for treatment. but had also
expended money out OF their own rockets
FOR the bench. Of the institution
Mr. Flood said y Mr.. Tredwav's argu-
ment was a fund one. and should be
applied, then the State was appropriating
too much. as compared with value re-
ccived I'm return. to all Of the institutions
~ Virginia. lie cited the fact that the
Siaie appropriated $4,000 TO the Virginia
Military institute. while If the triticn OF
the hfiy free students" was PAID Ter il
would only amount 20 $1,000.
