piece of land and get $4,000 for it, and
still they ask for money-instead Of
$500 to buy this piece of land they ask
for $4,000. 1 say that is an instance
where the committee has been imposed
upon. 1 don't believe that they intend
ed any such thing as that should &C.
cur, if 1 understand the proposition
correctly.

err, l desire to say word in explana-
| ton
The SPEAKER: Does the gentleman
from Auburn yield to the gentleman
from Old Town?
Mr.. WING: With great pleasure.
| Mr. WELD: The hospital pays that
$4,000 into the State treasury so it has
to be drawn out again. 1t is simply
the difference that comes from the
| State.
| Mr.. WING: 1t is paid to the treasury
of the hospital?
Mr.. WELD: Into the State treasury.
It has to be drawn out again.
Mr. WING: Very well. Take 247, Re-
solve in favor of the Maine Insane
hospital to provide for deficiencies. car
rying SIT, 400 for reimbursement, money
not carefully expended. If you consult
the Resolves of 1907 you will find that
this hospital received $4,000 for the
first male wing, $1,000 for water supply,
and still they come here with this eX-
PLANTATION, with this report of their
public trust. and ask you that the
state should pay it's debts. 1t is true
that the State should pay it's debts, and
if thew have expended this money L
am the last man to say that the state
of Maine should not pay its debts; but
T do saw that those trustees OF THESE
hospitals should by some means mani
fest a disposition and intent to i've
within what is provided for them out
of the public funds. The same may De

vide for deficiencies, If these deflclen-
,es exist and a consideration has
