Mr.. HINCKLEY of South Port
! land: Mr.. Speaker, this seems to be
good day to clean the calendar, and
will move that we take from the
table House Doc. No. 305.
The motion was agreed to.
| Mr.. HINCKLEY: This being a very
short resolve and comprised within
enc paragraph, I will read it. The
resolve reads:
"RESOLVED: That a committee
! of five, consisting of the Governor
and four others, to be appointed by
the governor, investigate and report
| to the next Legislature plans, estim-
ates and specifications for a State
! library building. The committee may
employ such assistance and incur
such expenses as 1t deems necessary,
not exceeding five thousand dollars.
The committee sail serve without pay
/ but shall receive actual expenses"
Inasmuch as believe that there is
a very general sentiment, even though
| 1t may be deemed wise to expand the
provisions for the library, and to give
more room, and that instead of new
building disconnected with the State
House, when the time comes it should
in some way be connected with the
State House; and I think that is the
very unanimous and general senti-
ment of the members of this Legis-
lature and of those who have to do
with the library. / think we can all
appreciate as members of the Legis-
lature how inconvenient it would be
to have a building at some other
place in the city of Augusta with the
State Library located therein, and I
do not believe. having that in mind,
that this is the time to authorize a
commission to expend any such sum
as five thousand dollars for the pur-
pose Of getting plans and specifica-
tons for a new building to be erected
