Mr. MANLEY of Augusta: l present
| ed to the House this morning a resolve
| authorizing a temporary loan for war
| purposes for the year 1899. and l wish,
! in few words. to explain this resolve,
so all may understand it. Some time
ago. early in the session. we passed a
resolve appropriating 100000 to pay
war expenses that this government
| has already assumed the responsibility
for. and paid, expecting some time to
get it paid back from the general gov
! eminent. Since then this Legislature
has appropriated for and referred to
| the Governor and Council war claims
amounting to $4,000; and this resolve.
authorizes the State treasurer to bor-
row for war purposes at any time dur
ing this year a temporary loan to the
amount of 5000 to take care of those
war appropriations. The claim for
| them will be filed with the others with
The government. 1t is believed that
the government will pay them some
| time. The government is slow about
| these things and they are not always
paid very quickly. Some of the claims
| growing out of the war of 1861 have not
been paid back to the State. The most
of them have And in order that there
shall be no difficulty with the State
treasurer and that he may always be
prepared to meet all the obligations of
the State, the committee authorized me
| to report a second resolve covering the
year 1900 of $150.000, which includes the
renewal of the loan which you have al
ready authorized, and this one: and
! inasmuch as we want to get every
| thing that we can into the hands of the
printer. and have things ready for the
| House next week. l move that the
rules be suspended and that these two
resolves take their severa readings and
be passed to be engrossed at the pres
ent time.
The motion was agreed to. and the
/ resolves were severally read twice and
