n voluminous document. TIE committee
has ordered # printed for the use Of the
members. and viii be taken up next
Monday afternoon for discussion. Mr..
John w. Arbuckle of Lewisburg, who
prepared the bin. will be here on that day
TO appear before the committee and dis
cuss its merits. At present there is quite
a division of sentiment among the mem
bers Of the House as TO the propriety of
passing a dispensary law for this State.
The Judiciary Committee of the House
have reported favorably on the bill in
troduced by Mr. Hunter. of Morgan, to
authorize and legalie tie contract for the
lease of Berkeley Springs property, now
held bv the state board Of trustees. This
is n measure that has been before the
LEGISLATURE AT various sessions but there
was always so much opposition that it
failed TO pass. While the bill was under
consideration I'm the committee yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. T. B. ID. Duckwal and
Senator Catlett appeared and argued in
favor Of its passage. They represented
TO the committee that the property in its
present condition is practically value-ess
that the trustees are unable 20 so i'm
prove as 10 make it's waters available 10
suffering humanity, and that the only
way by which the property can be i'm
proved without expense to the State is to
lease il 10 some one who is able and will
ing to expend the amount Of money neces-
sary to put it in good condition. These
gentlemen represent that the building Of
a new hotel W n is 20 cost $4,000, and
the general improvements Of the Bcrke-
ley Springs property viii bring large
amount Of capital into the State. The
building up of residences and other
buildings in the town of Bath. where the
springs are located. viii become benefit
TO the State whereas heretofore the
property has been a burden. Since the
objections of the citizens Of Morgan
county have now been Withdrawn there
appears TO be a disposition on the part
