amendment turning the land over 60 the
State treasurer with instructions TO have
Il surveyed and afterwards TO advertise
Il and sell IL, in one piece OF in building
lots 70 the highest bidder.
Senator Alice called up the bill and i'm
lmediatcly offered an amendment turning
lover the land to Senator Maui for 81 900,
or s. an acre.
Senator Maull had said when he made
his offer that he dlu not want the land,
but that, sooner than see 1t sacrificed for
$500, ne would give 81 600 for ii.
The Union Republican attempt was TO
make il appear that Senator Maull had
backed down, but it could not be done,
for IL was known that he had his check
in his pocket ready for use il emergency
lrequired.

the amendment was out Of order.
