Mad son, June 10

Madison, June 19.
The capitol appropriation bill came
10 in the assembly last evening and
encountered opposition. After a long
discussion the bill was laid over until
tomorrow. so that members may in
form themselves and receive figures
and reports. The main criticism that
developed in the discussion was di-
recled at the capitol commission for
proceeding with the work in quiet
manned and refusing to take even
members of the legislature into its
confidence.
AsembIyman Bancroft defended the
CAPITOL commission and declared that
accounts and plans and specifications
were at all times accessible to the
members and that nothing would be
withheld from them if they only asked
for information.
AssembIyman Ingram was Of the
opinion that a report Of how the work
was progressing was due the leg1sla-
tuTe
Mr.. Bancroft urged laying the bill
over. declaring that the commission
extended an invitation to all the mem
bers to come in and examine anything
they had a mind to.
Asemblyman Perry criticized the
manner in which the foundation had
been constructed and maintained that
the state was not getting its moneys
worth in the class Of work done
AssembIyman Schauer was of the
opinion that the bill ought to 90 over
and declared that there was no occa-
sion for appropriating 100000 for
nine years; that future legislatures
should be made to feel some response
bility. and that a wiser plan would
he to make appropriations from time
TO time. Messrs. Carpenter, Turner
and A. s. Baker supported the com
mission.
