Mr.. PATTANGALL of Wateryilie:
Mr., Speaker, have a resolve which
l would like t. introduce under a |
of the rules, Il resolve in
favor of the towns of Scion and
Emden n Somerset county calling for
an appropriation for the erection Of
= bridge between those towns i'll the |
sum Of $751; | want to say a word |
in explanation oi IT, The Legislature
III 1909 appropriated $4,000 To build a |
bridge between Scion and Endcn con-
ditional upon the county of Somerse, |
5000 The county was
Unable in iao9 to vote $1,000 on account |
OF then being up TO its debt limit for |
some other matters. and the two
towns, Solon and Emden contributed |
the part which the county should have |
$1,000, and the bridge was
started in the fall ~ 1910. Some six |
thousand odd dollars worth Of work |
was done there and paid for by the |
state besides the Work done on ac- |
count al the $1,000 paid by the towns.
When the last administration VAS
tn close. December 81. 1910, |
it was thought that the appropriation |
wodld lapse unless some action was |
taken. The bridge was then only par
TALLY completed and is not now en-
tircll completed: and there We're no
bills in the treasury for the last $l3, |
Sd 20 Nov the Governor and Coun- |
ril drew a warrant for that amount |
~ money, and permitted one member |
ii the Governors Council to cash that
warrant in the State treasury. or
rather TO get checks for it, which was
The same thing, and the checks were
deposited with him with the under
standing that when the bridge was
lone he would pay for it. That idea
vas not considered any irregular way |
If doing business at that time. II
has been said that that has been

tnow anything about the precedentsi
or it; but OF any rate the incoming |
was not satisfied with |
lat method Of doing business, and
allied upon the party who held the
,hecks to return them to the State |
treasurer. l presume that the pres
mt administration felt that the State
treasurer was the proper custodian
