one of your colleagues in the other
end Of the House. an experienced
man. has told the Governor that he
would not trust it for one minute?
Do you know, also, that the Cover
nor's own carpenter says that, 1t is
unsafe. and still they are letting
those people go over that wharf in
the summer time by the thousands,
and you are liable to have an accident
any day? Therefore, move you, MIR.
Speaker. that the resolve and the
message be tabled until tomorrow
and. the veto message be printed, so
that every man may see what ought
to be done. &.
