| Mr.. Hill of Belfast, offered the follow
| ing amendment: Amend by striking out
! the words Two thousand dollars" In the
/ first line and substituting therefor the
words, zone thousand dollars for the year
| 1899 and one thousand dollars for the
year 1900"
| Mr.. Macomber Of Augusta, moved that
| the resolve be laid on the table pending
| the adoption Of the amendment.
| Mr. Manley Of Augusta: think my col
| league does not understand the situation.
| This amendment, as / understand IL, was
| offered by the gentleman from Belfast.
| 1t does not change the amount appropri-
ated. The gentleman from Belfast sim
ply moves that this sum shall be divided
into two years, and think that that was
the intention of the finance committee
when the matter was heard before it.
This is very worthy object, one Of those
little homes where great good is being
done for the children: they are being
reared and made good men and women;
and the women of Belfast and other Sec
tions of the State have given their time
and money and assistance in this matter
and certainly hope that this small sum.
for this charitable object, will be given.
The amount appropriated Is not changed
at all by the amendment of the gentle
man from Belfast, as I understand it. He
simply desires that one-half shall be ap-
propriatcd in the year 1899 and One-half
in the year 1850.
Mr.. Hill OF Belfast: That is correct. r
offered this amendment at the suggestion
of the State treasurer. 1t in no way
changes the amount appropriated. but
simply divides it so that one-half is pay
able in 1899 and the other half in 1900. In
stead of making the whole sum payable
at once.
Mr.. Macomber: II that is correct, will
withdraw my motion to lay on the table.
understood that the proposed amend |
ment cut down the appropriation. which. |
ii seemed to me. should not be done with |
out further consideration. withdraw |
my motion.
The amendment was then adopted and |
the resolve was read the second time and 4
passed to be engrossed as amended.
