order for Tuesday next. He said the
matter was one of great Importance to
the state, involved the outlay of a large
sum of money and should be carefully
considered from all sides. He was in
favor of the bill but wanted al! possible
information. He moved that it be made
a special order. Senator Twichell OPP
posed deferring consideration of the bill.

formation Tuesday than at present.
There was no reason why more intelli-
