administration of the law, extending aid to disabled exConfederate soldiers, induces me to suggest some amendment to the statute. Up to this time payments for this year have been made to 2;490 applicants, amounting to an aggregate sum of $154,000. Others are applying, and many more will doubtless be allowed. The department has been compelled, by the terms ot the law, to refuse a large number of applicants whose proofs did not meet the

151

requirement~ of the statute. In many instances these applicants were not less meritorious, and far more necessitous than some whose cases come distinctly within the provisions of the law. Such cases have taxed the sensibilities of those charged with the execution of the act, to a degree which can only be appreciated by those who have witne11sed the disappointment and distress of applicants who, confidently believing in the justice of their claims upon the State, have been necessarily turned away without its bounty. Charged with its administration, I am impressed with the belief that the restrictive clauses of the present law exclude from its benefits many who richly deserve the State's benefaction. I am, therefore, impelled by a commanding se.;~se of duty to earnestly recommend such amendment in this regard as both gratitude and honor demand, and as you in your wisdom may deem proper to enact. Although a quarter of a century of stirring and momentous events has passed since they laid down their arms, you have not forgotten, nor will you forget that host of great hearted men who rallied at the call ot the State, and lost in her service the power of self support. Wide-spread desolation, wrought by the war, prevented, for a time, any adequate provision by the State for her maimed and disabled heroes. But thanks to a benignant Providence and the recuperative energies of her people, Georgia is no longer unable to discharge, in some degree, at least, her obligations to the men who so bravely responded to her summons, and have so patiently waited for some proper recognition of their l'ervices and sufferings. But there is another class-the widows and orphans of our dead soldiers, and who have been deprived both of their natural protectors and the means of support, and whose cases are therefore commended with special emphasis to your thoughtful consideration and sense of justice. Inasmuch as an amendment to the ConstitutiOn will be necessary, in order to bring them within. the perview of the statutes, provision, I respectfully and most earnestly urge that the present General Assembly in-

aue:urate this movement without delay. It requires no argument to estab-lish the justice of these claims. Inability to pay has heretofore been the State's justification. This inability no longer. exists. Considering the State's available and convertible assets, her public debt is nothing. I..et us then prepare to discharge, without further postponement, this debt of honor-as sacred an obligation as ever rested upon an enlightened and Christian people.

JouRNAL oF THE HousE.

Mr. Atkinson, of Columbia, of the Committee on Journals, reported that the Journal had been examined and approved.
The Journal was then read and confirmed.
Memorials from the ladies of the countieil of Muscogee, Campbell, Meriwether and Carroll, were received, and referred to Committee on Appropriations.
The unfinished business of yesterday, which was the resolution of Mr. Davis of Burke, was taken up, and the same was adopted, to-wit:
Resolved, That to-morrow, Friday's session of the House be continued after the regular hour of adjoUI nment long enough to dispose of bills ready f(Jr a second reading.
Resolved, jurthe1, That when the House adjourns Friday afternoon, it adjourt~ to meet next Monday at the regular hour.
By request, House Bills Nos. 365 and 439 were withdrawn.
Mr. Gordon, chairman of the Joint Committee on the part of the House, to investigate the accounts and offices of the Treasurer and Comptroller-General of the State, submittetl the following report:
Mr. Speake1:
Under the following resofution" Resolved by the House of Representatires, the Senate concurring, That a committee of two from the Senate Finance Committee, and three from the House Appropriation Committee, shall be appointed by the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House respectively, whose duty it shall be to examine into the accour.ts and vouchers of the Comptroller and Treasurer, as provided for in section 186 of the Revised Code. That said committee is authorized to assemble a reasonable time before the commencement of the next session of the General Assembly, in order to thoroughly examine into the condition of said offices, and to make such suggestions as may seem best to subserve the interest of the

FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1889.

231

State, and if, in their opinion, any legislation is necessary in

that respect, said committee is authorized to report by bill

or otherwise."

The undersigned were appointed a committee to sit during

vacation and to examine into the office books, etc., of the

Treasurer and Comptroller-General of this State, as provided

in section 186 of the Code, and to make their report to this

General Assembly.



Under authority of this resolution, your committee met in

Atlanta on the 13th day of May last, and devoted themselves

to this work from that time until the 23rd day of May. Our

examinations were careful, arduous and laborious.

Commencing with the Treasurer's office, we have exam-

ined carefully and minutely all the books kept by that offi-

cer, showing the amount received, disbursements made, for

what purpose made, and under what authority and what law

they were made. We have also, footed up the various

amounts upon said books under the various heads and items,

in order to verify the same. Nothing was taken for granted,

and no calculation or result, as stated on such books, was

accepted by this committee as a correct one until the same

had been verified by us. Commencing with the 1st of Octo

ber, 1887, we have examined every voucher for every item

of expenditure and disbursement made by the Treasurer

from that date until the 12th of May, 1889; and we have

compared such vouchers with the books of the Treasurer and

with his printed report, submitted to this General Assembly

for the year ending September 30th, 1888, and have checked

said vouchers both with the books in his office and with his

published report, and we find after most careful, patient, and

pains-taking examination and comparison and addition of

such amounts, both upon his books and his printed reporl,

that the said vouchers correspond in every particular, both

with his books and his printed report.

We also counted the cash in the Treasurer's office on the

13th day of May. We first obtained from the Comptroller-

General the amount of cash, that, according to his books,

should be in the trea.sury, which showed the amount of

$445,119.88. This amount was verified by us and found to

be correct. We ascertained that there was iri the vault, in

currency, $15,000; silver, $2,300; cash in the till, $1,411.99;

232

JouRNAL oF THE HousE.

mutilated currency, $30.00; vouchers for amounts paid maimed soldiers, $9,755; School Commissioner's orders, $63,051.25; bonds and coupons, $36,449.95; amount in depositories, $305,316.14;, advanced to civil establishment, $11,536.46; advanced to Furnisiling Committee on the Capitol, $25.50; expense account, $240.59.
We also ~xamined the bonds deposited in said Treasury by the foreign insurance companies, doing business in this State, as required by law, and we find that the report of the Treasurer as to the names or' the various companies, the amount of bonds deposited, and the character of the bonds, mentioned in such report, is correct, and verified the same by an examination of each bond mentioned therein. \Ve find that, since his report, the Fire Association of London has withdrawn from business in this State, and, therefore, had withdrawn its $25,000 mentioned in said report.
\Ve also examined the assets of the State as mentioned in said report. We find 186 shares of Georgia Railroad and Banking Company's stock, 440 shares Southern and Atlantic Telegraphing Company's stocks, bonds of the ~1arietta and North Geotgia Railroad Company, $66,233.23, and shares of the Bank of the State of Georgia, shares of the Bank of Augusta, and the shates of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Company, as contained in said report of the Treasurer, in the treasut-y, whieh last mentioned assets we find to be worthless. In out examination of the office of the 'freasurer, we find that under the act of .May 1, 1872, there were issued $700,000 worth of bonds, but that of this amount only $307,500 were ever i:,;sued and sold. There were not sold of this issue $392,500, which bonds are in the treasury, and they are cancelled. Of those cancelled bonds we find 36 $1,000 bonds immbering from 174 to 209 inclusive; 5 numbering from 268 to 272, 200 numbering from 301 to 500. Of the denomina~on of $500, we find 1, number 39, and 302 bonds numbering from 99 to 400. In the batch of these cancelled bonds, we find one, number 193, for $1,000, all the coupons intact and cancelled, but w~ were presented by Dr. A. W. Calhoun, of the city of Atlanta, with a duplicate bond of number 1~3, upon which, by reference to the Treasurer's bond-book, we ascertained that the interest thereon had been paid since the 1st day of January, 1884. This bond

FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1889.

233

appears to have been registered by Dr. Calhoun on the 24th of May, 1884. The present Treasurer, on an examination of his office and whilst completing a list of the bonds of the State in his bond book, ascertained the facts we have here set out in reference to said bond number 193, and that, that number of the issue was in the treasury and cancelled, and he declined to further pay the interest. We have been unable to ascertain how it was that this duplicate bond was taken from the office, or by whom; nor were we able to ascertain whether there were more than one duplicate of this series. A suspicious and singular fact attached to this bond, is that no demand has ever been made upon the State _rreasurer for the payment of the past due coupons thereon from 18i2 to the time when it was claimed that it was issued until 1884, when it was purchased by the present owner. He is free from all blame in the matter, and is no doubt, a bona fide owner of the same, but was unable to inform us certainly and definitely f~om whom he purchased it. Your committee submit these facts so that such action may be taken on it as you deem proper. Upon investigation, your committee found that the appropriation act of 1888, which prescribes for the payment of the $2,141,000, as provided in paragraph 1, section 6, is defective, in that it fails to prescribe that $200,000 of such appropriation should be paid from the sinking fund, as now provided by law. We, therefore, submit a bill to amend said act, in order that it may conform to the l:tw.
We further find, and so report, that in our judgment, the present manner of keeping the past due coupons and paid up bonds of the State of Georgia, as proviaed for in section 97 (a) of the Code, is not an efficient and secure method of keeping the bonds and the past due coupons of the State; and we, therefore, recommend that a bond book, as provided for in the bill herewith submitted, be procured, and that aftEr the first day of January, 18t)0, the past due coupons and paid up bonds of the State be kept as provided for in the accompanying act.
Your committee encountered some difficulty in their investigation in ascertaining by what law or authority many items of expense, not embraced in the general or special appropriation bill, had been paid out. 'Ve do not mean to

234

JouRNAL oF THE HousE.

say that any single item was paid out by the Treasurer without authority therefor; on the contrary, when called on, he exhibited a remarkable and accurate knowledge of all the laws heretofore passed, whether the same were embraced in the Code or provided for by special statute, authorizing the payment of money from the treasury to any purpose; but that this difficulty may be hereafter averted, and that the legislature and people may know exactly and definitely to what purposes the money of the State is appropriated and paid, and that the Treasurer may at all times be able to easily know and see the law which makes the appropriation be is called on to pay, we are of the opinion that all the general appropriation bills should contain and specify. all the annual amounts appropriated for every purpose, and the laws under which each is authorized to be made; and to this end we have prepared a bill to carry into effect this suggestion ; and we earnestly suggest that it this bill is passed, no future legislature will ever be called upon to appropriate any money of the State without knowing accurately and definitely every object and purpose for which the same is to be expended. There are many annual appropriations which have been rnade by laws and statutes, Rome of which are codified in the Code of 1882, and many others depending on independent acts; but if the bill suggested should be passed, it would, in our opinion, be of incalculable benefit, not only to the Legislature making the appropriation, but would afford a sure and safe guide and chart to the treasurer in determining with ease and without difficulty, his authority to disburse the funds of the State. In examining the treasurer's office, we found paid for printing the Journals of the Hou~;e and Senate, what seemed t~ us large amounts; and when it is remembered how few of these journals are ever used or seen, it occurs to us that the present law provides for and permits too many of the Journals to be printed. A large number ot these are now stored away and are of no value except as waste paper. We think the printing of the journals, as now provided for, is too expensive, and is wholly unnecessary, and we therefore submit a bill fixing the number to be hereafter printed, and providing for the distribution of those now on hand.
We recommend that the assets mentioned in the Treasu-

FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1889.

235

rer's printed report, to-wit: 1,833 shares of the Bank of the State of Georgia, the shares of the Bank of Augusta, and the shares of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, be no longer embraced among the assets of the State in the future reports of the Treasurer. They are now, and have been for a long time past, and are likely, fdr all time to come, to remain worthless.
EXAJIIINATION OP THE CO:IIPTROLLER-GENERAL'S OFFICE.
We have examined the Comptroller's books, the certificates of the Treasurer given him for the amounts paid his office as required by law, and have checked every certificate and voucher from the first of October, 1887, until the 12th day of May, 1889, and we find that the books of the ComptrollerGeneral and the certificates, when checked together, cor1espond in every instance. We further footed up and added the various amounts upon his books from the 1st of October, 1887, to the 12th day of .May, 1889, showing the receipts in his office, the amounts paid out, and the amounts of thewarrants drawn upon the treasury, recorded therein, and we find that they correspond and are correct, and when finally footed up that they give the exact amount that was in the treasury on the 12th day of .May, 1889. Not only this, but we examined the reports of the various tax collectors of tee State and their digests, showing the amount of tax paid by the various counties in the State, and examimid the record of special taxes made by each county in the State, and compared it with the certificates of deposit given to said Comptroller-General by the Treasurer, the books of the Treasurer and the public report of the Comptroller-General, and, after comparing the same, and a careful addition and footing up of all the various amounts, we find that they correspond in every instance and particular. We found, upon examination of the Comptroller-General's office, that the taxes due the State by the railroads, and which are due on October 1st of each year, are not promptly paid. In order that they should be promptly met, we suggest that there should be a penalty imposed upon such railroads as fail to comply with the law, and to that end we herewith submit a bill prescribing a penalty of $500 upon such as fail to pay the taxes due the State by October 1st of each year. 'Ve concluded, also, from an examination of the returns of the taxes made by the citizens

236

JouRNAL oF THE HousE.

of the various counties, that if the law required all property owned on January 1st to be returned for taxes, instead of

that owned on April 1st, the State would be materially ben-

efited by an increase of taxable property. We, therefore, submit a bill proposing to cha~ge the law in this respect.

We also found, on examining the office of the Comptroller-

General, that the law upon the subject of the redemption of

wild lands, sold for taxes, as provided for by section 874 (c)

of the Code, is wholly insufficient to meet the purposes

intended by the law. We do not think that the Sheriff

should be the custodian of the surplus arising from such

sale for two years, and be permitted to pass upon the rights

and title of the claimants. We therefore submit and sug-

gest that the section of the Code referred to, be amended as provided for by the bill herewith submitted, which provides

for the payments of the surplus into the treasury of the

State, and submits to the Attorney-General the determina-

tiOJ of the title of the claimant. In our examination of

these offices, we have been afforded every facility by the

officers and their subalterns, every one of whom manifested

both familiarity with th~ duties of their offices, as well as

skill, ability and efficiency in the discharge of their duties.

The books are kept. in a neat and thoroughly business-like

manner, arld reflect credit upon those upon whom these

duties devolve. We deem it to be our duty, and it affords us pleasure to say, that the Treasurer and Comptroller-

General of the State are both officers whose efficiency and

faithfulness, careful administration of their duties, should

and does entitle them to the endorsement and approval of

this committee, the legislature and the people, as officers

whose chief aim is to faithfully discharge their duties as

. required by law. In our judgment, the State rs fortunate

in having in her service these gentlemen.

Respectfully submitted.

The resolution was t!:en adopted by substitute, as amended.
Pending the consideration of the resolution relating to the hours of meeting and adjourning of the House, the hour fixed by resolution for the memorial services of Hon. Louis Arnheim having arrived, the further consideration was dispensed with.
Mr. Glenn, ow Whitfield, chairman of the Committee on Memorial St?rvices of Hon. Louis Arnheim, submitted the following report and resolutions:

Jfr. Speake1 :

Your Committt?e, appointed upon the life and public services of Hon. L')uis Arnheim, of the county of Dougherty, submit the following report and accompanying- resolution~, to-wit:

Louis Arnheim was .born in Mecklenburg, Germany, in

March, 1852, and came to America in 1868; was for a short

while a resident of the western portion of the United States;

moved to Georgia in the fall of the year 1868, and located

in the county of Dougherty, where he was, for a ,time, em-

ployed as an olinary laborer upon the track of a railroad.

Friends, realizing his\vorth, advi-sed him to adopt the pro-

fession of the law, which he did, and was admitted to the

practice of the law before the Hon. G. J. \Vright, at Al-

bany, Georgia. He there continued the practice of his pro-

fession until the year 1884, when he was elected and served

his county as her representative, being I"e-elected and serv-

ing his county- until his death in Atlanta on the 18th of

August, 1889.



In December of 1885 he was married to Ida Victoria

Mayer, daughter of the Hon. Davicl Mayer, of the city of

Atlanta. Two children were the fruit of this union.

He was a Mason, a member. of the B'bnai Brith, and

other benevolent asaociations.

Mr. Arnheim was one of the most prominent representa-

tives of the Hebrew race in the State of Georgia. His

SATURDAY, AvousT 24, 1889.

485

views were those of the liber!!-1 and progressive Hebrew type, which, while doing all it could for the particular race with which it belonged, yet within its breadth and liberality of view, comprehended Gentile as well as Jew.
As a lawyer, he was noted for his patient preparation, his close attention to the causes which he represented, and his fidelity and zeal in the advocate of his client's interest.
As a member of the Legislature, he devoted himself to a thorough understanding of the financial conditwn of the State, and acquired an accurate and intimate knowledge of bet entire monetary system. Perhaps no man in Georgia better knew the monetary condition of the State, or had a .more clear and accurate view to the demands to which she was subjected, and her methods and abilities to meet the same.
Those of us who served in the How;;e and on committees with him well know how minute he was in his inqueries, .how careful he was with his facts, and how cautious in his conclusions when dealing with some question of interest to the people of the State at large. Upon the floor of the House he was always clear, earnest and impressive.
But, perhaps, the greatest part of Mr. Arnheim's character was not in his professional and public, but his private life. In his don~estic relations he was a tender husband and affectionate father. Those whom he has left behind him best know how to appreciate the depth and feeling that characterized his entire life.
In his relation with the outside world the same tenderness of heart always manifested itself in his deeds. Generous to all, with a broad charity that covered all the failings and faults of our race, he was ever ready, with either words or purse, to soothe and alleviate the sorrows of the unfortunate. In all charitable movements he was prominently identified, and leaves behind him a name, not only with his own race, b~t with all whom he came in contact. It might, in short, be said of him, that in whatever relation of life he was placed, he knew his duty, and he did it fully. As

486

JouRNAL OF THJo~ HousE.

a citizen, as a lawyer, as a QitJmber of the Legislature, he

always came up to the full stature of a man.

There can be no better iilustration of what an earnest:

honest and truthful man may accomplish, than the record

of his life. Coming among us without friends, without the

antecedent of race to assist him, by his devotion to duty and

his worth as a man, he secured an enviable position among

his contemporaries.

Realizing the loss which we, his family and the State

have suffered, we beg leave to submit the following resolu-

tions, to-wit:



Resolved, That in the death of the Hon. Louis Arnheim, the Legislature of this State and the State at large, has sus- tained a loss which is almost irreparable.

Resolved,jurther, That we extend our sympathies to the bereaved family, and that we deeply feel that their loss is also ours.

Jtesolved, further, That a page of the Journal of this House be dedicated to his memory, upon which <;ball be inscribed his name, date of birth and death.

Resolved, further, That a copy of these tesolutions, as a further mark of respect, be engrossed and transmitted to the family of the deceased, and this Honse be now adiourned until 9 o'clock Monday morning.
Respectfully submitted. WM. C. GLENN, Chairman.

Mr. Speaker:
Your committee beg leave to report that they have made as full investigation of the former Geological Survey as it is possible for them to do, owing to the fact that there is no official data in the Executive Department to show the extent of the work, although the Act of 1R74 provided there should be made an annual report of all information developed in the progress of the work. Yom committee find in the Department of Agriculture, one-engineer's level, one surveyor's compass, one barometer, one drawing board, and one pantograph, this, with the geological specimens, which we find are very valuable when properly classified, labled and displayed for examination by visitors. There are now on hand in the same department, twelve county maps. two geological section:;, and one unfinished State map.
W.e find the original field notes have been copied by the several assistants in the Geological department who made the survey, and the copies furnished to Dr. Little, who was then the hrad of the department; that these Dr. Little refuses to turn over to the State.
The original notes the several assistants have, though in rather bad condition, and unfit to be used in the further prosecution of a geological survey of the State.
We find that there was used in the field work, two paits of mules or horses; two carriages, two tents and other items of small cost. They have never been returned to the State or accounted for.
Your committee find, from enquiry, that a number of valuable minerals have been discovered in the late geological survey of the State, and been published. Attention

has been called to valuable mineral deposits, where large investments have since been made in mining, and which, it is believed, were brought here by the work of the geological survey. Deeming a completion vf the geological survey of the State of va~:;t benefit in that it will bring to notice vast mineral deposits, and give impetus to nEw and additional indu~:;tries in the StatP, we earnestly commend a reorganization of the geological bureau, and recommend the passage of the bill, which is herewith respectfully submitted. Your committee ask leave to supplement this report.

Mr. Felton, chairman of the Committee on Lunatic Asylum, submitted the following report:

Mr. Speaker:

Upon a general inst'ect~on of the institution, the committee are gratified to report that they found the various departments

FRIDAy, SEPTEMBER 20, 18l'!9.

scrupulously neat and clean, with admirable sanitary regulations, except as follows : The basement of the central building is used for storage purposes, by reason of which the floors and walls are kept damp, and emit foul air. This is not favorable to a healthy condition of the inmates, and may produce sickness. Besides, it is injurious to the building. This is caused for want of a proper storage room, which your committee report as a necessity, and which should be built with as little delay as possible, and located on the dummy line~ A suitable storage room will cost about $4,ooo; it should be of brick and made fire-proof. Two old boilers have been recently condemned after constant use for eighteen years. These should be replaced by one im. proved boiler of one hundred and fifty-six horse-power, which will cost about $3, 3oo-and this is less than two boilers of suffiCient capacity will cost. This is a commanding necessiry, as the two old boilers were used for heating purposes, and every dictate of humanity urges that they be replaced before cold weather. The condition of the cooking and heating apparatus in the negro wards, and in the white male and female convalescent wards, is good. But that for the central building is very old, and should be replaced by modern apparatus. Some of it is entirely worn out, and is not in use. This apparatus was put up in the infancy of the institution and in the infancy of steamheating, thirty-five years ago. Aside from being badly in need of repair, and the risk of its giving out during the winter, when its discontinuance would be a serious matter, if not dangerous to the inmates, it is extravagant in the use of fuel, and is n<Jt very effective. Modern apparatus can be put in which will save, at lowest estimate, fifteen per cent. of the fuel now used, and will be much more effective. The ventilating fan for furnishing wholesome air for the inmates i~ worn out.
To replace this fan and the cooking and heating apparatus, as described above, will cost seventeen thousand dollars. The laundry for the white inmates ~s in good condition. We find that a steam mangle is needed here for ironing underwear, shirts, etc., which now go to the inmates generally in a roughdried condition. This will cost six hundred dollars, and your committee recommend an appropriation for this purpose. The drying-room is insufficient, especially during the winter months. Much of the wash goes over from week to week, and the clothes are. in consequence, damaged. A new dry-room should. be

796

JouRNAL OF THE HousE.

provided where the wash can be dried promptly by steam heat. An addition to the present laundry, together with the necessary drying apparatus, will cost fifteen hundred dollars. The buildings are in general good repair, except as hereinafter detailed.
The floors in the halls of the older buildings need prompt attention. From washing and ordinary use they are much worn, in many places to the tongues and grooves. This causes injury to the buildings, and is not conducive to health We find that considerable fencing will have to be done in the near future. Much outside painting is needed. Lumber for bedsteads, which are made in the institution, is also needed. The lumber for the purposes enumerated, together with the labor, the painting, etc., will cost $4,ooo. The grading ar.d improvement of the grounds in front of the central building and between the convalescent buildings is desirable, and, perhaps, important as an element in the moral treatment of the inmates; but your committee cannot recommend an appropriation for this purpose at this time. The amount necessary for this purpose is estimated at $8,ooo.
The gas works were found in good condition and furnishing an ample supply of gas of good quality. The machinery for making crackers is in operation, and gives satisfaction. The institution is supplied with machinery for doing both wood and iron work, and the results are satis1actory. Almost everything needed in this line by the institution is made here.
Your committee find that the water supply is msufficient. The artesian well has been forced to the depth of 964 feet, with no good results. The appropriation for this purpose has been exhausted, and the work is now suspended. Appreciating the commanding importance of a sufficient supply of good water, we recommend the appropriation of $1o,ooo, or so much thereof as may be necessary for the completion of this well.
From a careful investigation of the books of the steward, treasurer and storekeeper we are convinced that these officers are faithful and efficient. Your committee had information that the Bank of Milledgeville would discharge, without compensation, the duties of treasurer of the institution, thus resulting in a saving to the State of six hundred dollars per annum. We respectfully suggest to the Board of Trustees that they take advantage of this propos"ition, if it can be wisely and safely done.
The system of sewerage seems perfect, but here, as elsewhere,

FHIDA Y, s~YrEMBER 20, 1889.

797

the msufficient water supply is felt. It would conduce to the comfort and health of the inmates if the sewers could be more frequently flushed. This is e~peciaily true as "it relates to the water closets throughout the buildings; these should be constantly flushed, otherwise there must be noxious vapors communicated through the apartments between the ftushings as now provided.
Your committee must be pardoned for emphasizing here the necessity for an increased water supply. It is urgently demanded.
Think of nearly two thousand people-most of them helpless and dependent-forced to rely for water upon a small stream, the bed of which is filling up at the rate of one foot each year, and becoming so low often. that there is no running stream at all, and you have a picture of our institution.
The gardens and fields in connection with the institution have producetl vegetables sufficient for its use the present season. The twenty acres in sweet potatoes, jt is hoped and believed, will be sufficient for the winter's use.
There are seventy-five head of cattle, thirty-two of which are milk cows. We think the number of milk cows should be increased. It is estimated that twenty thousand pounds of pork will be made the present year, the hogs being fattened mainly with the waste from the institution.
There are at the institution sixteen mules and two horses, most of which can be sold if the storage room herein recommended is built on the dummy line.
The barns, stables and out-buildings are in generally good repair.
We find in the institution one Thomas S. Marston, a white man, now 23 years old, who was committed by order of court from Rockdale 'county. He was tried under an indictment for setting fire to a house in town, and the jury found for the defendant on the plea of insanity. He was committed in October, 1884. The Superintendent certifies that he is now fully restored, and should be discharged. This can only be done by an act of the General Assembly. Your committee recommend that a bill for this purpose be introduced at once. Otherwise, he must remain a tax upon the State for more than a year yet.
We find in the institution quite a number who were committed as inebriates. Many of them should be discharged. We

798

.JouRNAL oF THE HoLHE.

recognize this asan unfortunate class, but their condition is the result of their own acts, and it is within their power to render their stay there u.nnecessary. Should no other cause for their retentiOn exist, we recommend that this class be discharged, together with those addicted to the opium habit, thus making room for others more unfortunate.
Room is much needed. In some of the wards, especially in the female wards in the central building, the inmates are overcrowded, there being in some of the room~, which were mtended for sitting rooms, as many as thirteen beds.
The inmates, as a rule, seem contented. Their uniform answers to 4uestions were that they were well fed and provided for, and were made as comfortable as was possible under the circumstances.
On the 4th instant, 1, 548 unfortunates were inmates of this institution-g8 in excess of the number upon which estimates for appropriations were based. The management aSked for $x8o,ooo for each of the years 1889 and 1890.
We gave them $q s,ooo. The $s,ooo dificit for each of these years should be appropriated without delay. If we have to borrow the money for this purpose, then borrow it.
Appropriations for the following purposes, and which have been referred to above, should, in the opinion of your committee, be made without delay, to-wit:

For new boiler For floors, fencing, bedsteads and painting For storage room . . . . . . . . . . .

. $ 3,300 4,000 4,000

Total . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . $u,3oo

The other amounts referred to in this report we think necessary, but not of such commanding importance as the three items just enumerated-excepting from this statement the deficit mentioned above- but we think appropriations should be made as follows:

For heating, ventilating and cooking apparatus For steam mangle For dry room

. $q,ooo 6oo
x,soo

Total ....

. $19, xoo

We commend the management of the institution. The treat-

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 181:!9.

799

ment of the inmates by the physicians and attendants, as we learned from them and from observation, is uniformly kind and considerate.
We found no foundation for the criticisms which have been going the rounds of the press reflecting upon the management in the treatment of the inmates. We deem it our duty to say that, in our opinion, these criticisms came from parties unfriendly to the institution.
Without intending invidious distinctions, we must be permitted to say that the Superintendent .and the Matron of this institution should have all possible moral and pecuniary support. They are in the right place and their places will be hard to fill.
Respectfully submitted. W. H. FELTON, Chairman.

thereof is admitted; but whereas, it can work no harm to receive from said lessees an authoritative statement of what they claim, and how they propose to settle the same; and whereas, it is important that the Legislature should know just what engines, cars and other personal property of the State, the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company received from the State which it can, and will return to the State at the end of the preseni: lease, and a classification of the same, and what settlement the lessees propose to make for such engines, cars, and other personal property, whi(!h cannot be returned at the end of the present lease-
1st. Therefore, be it resolved, That a joint committee, consisting of five from the Senate and nine from the House, be appointed by the respective presiding officers of the two Houses, to confer with the lessees of the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company, and ascertain from said lessees what claims they make against the State as such lessees and the basis thereof, and how, and in what manner do they ask for a settlement of the same.

3rd. Be it further resolved, That said committee receive from the said lessees, and report to -the General Assembly the offer they make to settle for such engines, cars ::~nd ot.her

Mr. Speaker:
We, some of the members of the Joint Committee of Conference on Western and Atlantic Railroad, beg leave to submit the following statement and requests. The resolutions under which we have been appointed and have acted are as follows :
Mr. Rankin, chairman on the part of the House of the Committee of Conference; on the difference of the two Houses in regard to Resolution No. 38 of the Senate, submitted the following report :

Mr. ~peaker:
The Committee of Conference of the two Houses, appointed to investigate the facts pertaining to the Western and Atlantic Railroad, herewith submit the following r~ port and resolutions, and ask their adoption, to-wit :
"'WHEREAS, It is alleged by the persons who own or control the lease of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, that they have claims against the State of Georgia, as Lessees of the western and Atlantic Railroad; and, whereas, the Lessees express a wish to adjust and settle such claims; and, whereas, neither the validity of such claims nor the duty of the State to allow the same, or make. any settlement theteof is admitted ; but, whereas, it can work no harm to receive from said LeRsees an authoritative statement of what they claim, and how they propose to settle the same; and, whereas, it is important that the Legislature should know just what engines, cars and other personal property of the State, the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company received from the State, which it can and will return to the State at the end of the present lease, and a classification of the same, and what settlement the Lessees propose to make for such engines, cars and other personal property, which cannot be returned at the end of the present lease.

1084b

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1889.

1. Therefore, be it resolved, That a .Joint Committee, consisting of five from the Senate and nine from the House, be appointed by the respective presiding officers of the two Houses, to confer with the Lessees of the 'Vestern .and Atlantic Railroad Company, and ascertain from said Lessees what claims they make against the State as such Lessees and the basis thereof, and how and in what manner do they ask for a settlement of the same.
2. Be it resolved, That said committee confer with the Lessees of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and obtain from said Lessees a statement of the number of engines, cars and other personal property received by the 'Vestern and Atlantic Railroad Company from the State, which said Lessees can and will turn back to the State at the end of the present lease, and that said committee give, in their report, a full description of such engines, cars and ()ther personal property, so far as can he.
3. Be it further resolved, That said committee receive from the said Lessee.;, and report to the General Assembly, the offer they make to settle for such engines, cars and other personal property of the State, which cannot be returned to the State at the end of the present lease.
4. Resob:ed, That said committee has no authority to bind or appear to bind the Legislature, but the sain committee is appointed for the purpose of eliciting all the facts bearing upon the subject matter herein above referred to, and report the facts to the General Assembly as soon as possible.

Com. on part of House.
The resolutions above set out show the object and purpose for which the Committee of Conference was appointed.

JouRNAL oF THE HousE.

1084c

First, to ascertain from the Lessees their claims, the basis thereof, and the settlement they propose to make. Second, under the fourth resolution they are appointed "for the purpose of eliciting all the facts bearing upon the subject mattEr herein above referred to, and report the facts to the General Assembly as soon as possible."
In the exercise of the duty thus entrusted to them, the committee met and adopted the following resolutions.
Mr. Glenn introduced the following resolution, which was adopted :
Resolved by this committee, That there shall be a written communication from the Lessees, or those representing them, covering the following points:
L What claims do they make against the State ? 2. What are the basis of such claims? 3. A statement of the number of engines, cars, and other personal property received by the "\Vestern and Atlantic Railroad Company from the State, which said Lessees can and will turn back to the State, with a full description. 4. What settlement or adjustment of such alleged claims do they wish to lay before this committee?
In connection with such written statement, the Lessee'l, or others representing them, may appear before the committee and may submit other oral statement in explanatioiJ of, or in vindication of the said claims as upon the proposition of settlement which they may wish to make, not exceeding two other than the President of said company.
2nd Resolved~ That the chairman of this committee be requested to have forwarded to the LesstJes a copy of these resolutions of the committee.
3rd Resolved, That the chairman agree with such Lessees upon the time and place for such meeting.
4th Resolved, That the oral explanation, herein before spoken of, be limited to two hours for each gentleman who addresses the committee.

1084d

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1889.

5th Resolved, That upon agreement as to the time and ~~place of m~eting, the chairman noti(v the committee and call the same together.
On the afternoon of the day upon which the committee passed these resolutions, the following was introduced into the House by Mr. Harrell, one of the minority of the committee:
Resolved, That it was the intention of the House, in the resolutions appointing a joint committee to confer with the Lesseesofthe \Ve!'ternand Atlantic Railroad Company,to confine the duties of said committee only to receive from said Lessees a full and complete statement of the matters contained in said resolutions, for transmission to the House, and that said committee be instructed to receive said statement in writing so that in a matter of such importance there can be no mistake or misunderstanding.
From the above resolution of the House, it is apparent thai they are not willing to leave to the committee the manner and method of arriving at the result, the ascertainment of which was committed to their charge.
There is no division in the committee as to the powers which they possess. It is not now, and never has been, contend!:'d that they possessed any greater power than the mere arriving at certain facts and reporting them to the House. The only point of difference is as to the manner of procedure. The majority never have, and do not now contend, that they have any of the powers of a judicial tribunal to swear witnesse;;, to hear argument or to pass upon the matter, and render a judgment and rPport the same to the House and ask their affirmance thereof. They do contend that they were charged with something more than the mere ministerial act of receiving a letter from the Lessees and bearing said letter to the House. It was said when the question was up that it was one of great importance. When the conference resolutions were passed it was again said that the two presiding officers should exercise great judgment and discretion in the appointment. Surel,Y this

JouRNAL oF THE HousE.

1084e

was not and could not be true if all that was to be done was this and this only. A Page could have performed this duty just as well.
For weeks the lease bill has been suspended in the Senate on account of this question. The governor of the State has recommended an acljustment. The world at large can have no idea of what they are to bid on or bid for, m what they will receive if their bid be accepted. We did not believe that we could adjust this matter and put this diffionlty out of the way, but we diu hope that we could lay the facts, not simply as the Lessee!; state them, but as they are before the House and Senate and people of the State, and that such facts might have led to some settlement of the matter. As to the question of betterments, every one of us is on record on that question, and not one proposed to take or occupy any other position than that which we have always taken.
a The situation is this : We are charged with certain
duty. That necessarily implied a discretion in the discharge of it. The resolutions of the committee show how we propose to perform it. The House resolutions lays down a different line. It takes from us all discretion and could only proceed upon a !;Uppo~ition of improper motives of conduct upon our part. This being so inconsistent with self-respect, we can no longer proceed in a matter over which we have no control, but for which an iron-hand rule is laid down. Perhaps this matter could have been settled and this difficulty could have been put out of the way, and that all the clouds over the question could have b.een removed, and that this great property could have been put before the world free from all claims and undisturbed by doubts, so that all who are able could bid for it understandingly and knowingly. 'Ve do not now believe, mder the resolution, that we can contribute to thi!; result. However, we construe our power~ as of the smallest, merely to ascer. tain the facts and report the same. But as to the method of ascertainment we believe that it was committed to us,

1084f

FRIDAY, Oc'TOBER 11, 1889.

whatever report we make, and it would not and could not have gone beyond this, had it been acted upon by the Senate and the House. 'Ve could only have afforded material for their judgment. If we could have been controlled or swayed by improper motives, or had arrived at wrong results, they, by the very terms of the resolution, have no validity, and in the nature of things must be approved by the two Houses.
One other word: We were appointed, not simply to get an exparle statement, but to elicit the facts as shown by the resolution. If we get nothmg but their statement, we only half dischatge our Juty, and report not the facts, but the facts as contended for by the Lessees. The action of the House of Wednesday restricts us to this, and this alone.
"We will only refer to the fact that this resolution under which we are acting is a joint resolution, and that only a joint construction could bind us, and that the House resolution can, therefore, only be construed as an expression of lack of confidence, and we, although, perhaps, not bound, legally speaking, to obey, as the Senate has never concurred therein, nor been asked to do so yet. If we disobeyed we would run counter to the House of which we are members, and this we have no disposition to do.
This is purely a business propiJsition, and should be dealt with as such, and in this way alone we wish to deal with them. We believe that this Legislature, and not our committee, should settle this matter, and not leave it to the uncertain hazards of legislation in a foreign tribunal, and that we should have reported the fads upon which to do it.
Our understanding of the situation is, that it has been persistently charged and believed by the world outside of the State of Georgia, that the Lessees of the 'YP~tcrn and Atlantic Railroad have sought again and again to have an impartial examination of their ~!aims against the Stare, and have again and again been refused a hearing by the various Legislatures representing the State; that the present Legislature, realizing the justice of at least listening to the de-

JouRNAL oF THE HousE.

1084g

mands of their tenants, has authorized the appointment of the committee, of which we have the honor to be members, for the purpose of forever putting it out of the power of any one to say that any foreign legislation hereafter to be instituted was directly traceable to the refusal of the Legislature of Georgia to even hear the Lessees on all pointR connected with their claims; that the Legislature d~sired to have all the facts in this case brought to their attention, without restriction and without conditions, so that having those facts before them without reserve, and having carefully considered them, they might pass their solemn and well considered judgment on their justice, and whatever might be their decision, it could never be charged with being hasty and ill digested.
It will be observed that beyond the written statement, the only privilege conceded to the Lessees, was to appear before the committee and make an oral statement in vindication of, or in explanation of their claims. It was intended that every word said, every expression used, shoulcl be taken down and returned with the written statement of the claim to the two Houses. It was only done as a courtesy to the distinguished United States Senator whose feebleness necessitated all the courtesy which could be extended. Nor was exceeding six hours to be devoted to this purpose, and that to be done at night tinw, as it did not interfere with the business of the two Houses. This is the head and front of our offending with reference to any privileges extended to them, and we thought as they had been faithful tenants, this slight courtesy should be extended. Every one of U3 are unqualifiedly opposed to betterments, and, therefore, thought we could at least show them this slight favor, and thus emphasize our wish to clear up this question if possible. We return our thanks to an able and impartial Speaker, who ~;o well discharges his duty. And, in no spirit of ill will, and with no wish to reflect upon the other members of the committee, and with the highest regard for the wisdom of the House, and only on account of the belief that

lOMb

we can no longer contribute to a solution, but pledging our-
selves to adopt any other line equally beneficial to the peo-
ple which may be suggested by the committee, respectfully
request to be relieved from further service.

A resolution authorizing the State Treasurer to pay the coupons on Bond No. 193 fiH $1,000, issued by authority of an act of the General Assembly, approved January 15, 1872, and due January I, 1892, which I am instructed to report back to the House, with the recommendation that it do not pass, for the following reasons, which your committee desire to place on record for future reference, towit:
1st. Because a bond of th.e same number (Xo. 19:3) of this same series is in the Treasury cancelled.
2nd. Because the present innocent holder cannot trace back this bond through its various owners to its issuance from the Treasury, and the records of the Treasury are i.nsufficient to decide if this identical bond was or was not ever issued by the proper authorities of the State.
3rd. Because from the date of this bond and from the dates when the other bonds of this series were issued, no coupons from this bond were paid, and, so far as is known, none were ever presented until coupons were presented by the present innocent holder, upon the maturity of the first coupons after the date of his purchase of the bond.
The committee desires to put on record its belief, to-wit:
1st. That, in spite of the duplicate number, this was one of the bonds of said series which were duly and properly signed by the proper authorities.
2nd. That the p1esent holder, when he purchased said bond, had no knowledge 0r suspicion that there was a bond

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1889.

1095

of the same numb(!r in the Treasury, nor that coupons had never been presented for payment prior to his purchase.
3rd. That while it would be unwise to pay this bond now, they think that, after the maturity of this series of bonds, and their payment, it would be discovered if other duplicate numbered bonds exiFt, and should none other appear, it would be proper for the Legislature then, to grant the equitable claim of the holder, even if it were still impossible to prove the time and method of the issuance of the said bond, or to explai11 the fact of the non-collection of coupons during the period beforE mentioned.
Respectfully submitted. W llr. \V. GoRDON, Chairman.

Mr. Lamar, chaitman of the joint committee of the Senate and House of Representatin's, to confet with the Lessees of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, submitted the following report:

Mr. Speaker:
The joint .committee of the Senate and Honse of Representatives, appointed by authority of a seri(s of joint resolutions heretofore adopted, to confet with the Lessees of the \Vestem and Atlantic Railroad Company as to their claims again'5t the State, beg leavt~ to rcpOI't that they have discharged that duty. The PtPsident of said company was furni,;hed with a copy of the resolutions, aml the committee have received from the President and the representatives of said Lessee;;, din~ts statements in writing concerning the matters contaitwd in the joint resolutions under which the committee have been acting. The committee herewith submit said statements to the Senate and House without any teeommendatiou, and request that the official statement of the Presidt>ut of the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company ue eutered on the Joumal of the Senate anll Honse of Rq.neHentativt's, and tlw joint committee be discharged from further service in the premises.
Respectfully submitted. RoBERT \VHITFIELD, Chairman. On part of the Senate.
J. R. LAMAR, Chairman. On part of the House.
Hon. Robert JVhitjield, Chairman:
In response to the inquil'Y contained in the resolution of the Committee, a copy of which has been transmitted by you, I beg to submit the following:
First. 'l'he claim the Lessees make against the State is for improvements to the road and its apputtenances of every description, in which the Lessees expended a large sum of

1246

.JouR~AL oF THE HousE.

money during the term of the lease. The total sum expended for construction and equipment, and maintenance of way, up to the first day of July, 1889, aggregates $3,93H,8S7.69. During the first fiye yca1s of the lease the sum exp('ndcd on this account was $1,846,610.78. The Lessees have at no time felt that this large r-;um should be returned to them al the expiration of the lease, but, having put the road and equipment in the mo~:~t excellent condition, they haYe felt that a reasonable allo\Yancc should be made for the extraordinary improvements put upor. the property. It is a clear proposition and cannot be gair.said, that the road is in as good, or bettct condition now, than it was at the expiration of the first five years aftet the lease commenced, and it would not, thetcfo1e, be unrea~onable if the Lessees should ask fo1 a sum equal to the amount expended upon constntetion and equipment dming the first five years of the lease; but the l-essees ha,o not, and arc not now making such a demapd. They believe, howcYcJ, that the imp1ovemcnt~ made largely exceed the sum which is set forth on pages 90 and ~ll as a part of schcd ulc " Q" of the report of Com mi~sionc1s Heese, Powers and HO\nud, a Commission created by the General Assembly, and in the appointment of whiCh the Lessees had no pa1t, and were not even consulted. But, in order that an adjttstmont of the claim of the Lessees might be made on terms eminently just to the State, the Lessees, thtongh tho President of the C~mpany, have hel"etofore proposed, and now propose to accept the amount set forth in the report of the Commissioners in full settlement of the claim against the ::State, adding only the sum paid by the Lessees, in the State of Tennessee, for taxes. An itemized statement, embracing this account, is herewith submitted as" .li:xhibit A."
Second. The basis of the claim of the Lessees is embodied in the contJact entered into between the Lessees and the State on the 27th day of December, 1870, which rcqui1es the Lessees "to retu1n said road and its appn1tcnanccs, at the expiration, termination, or fol'fciture <>f this lease, in as good condition as it was in when received by said Company from the State." Under this contract, it is clear that tho Lessees cannot bo required to deliver the road in any bette!" condition than that in which it was received from the State in 1870, and if the State desires to have the road aud its appur-

TuESDAY, OcTOBER 22, 1889.

1247

tenances delivered in any better condition, the State should pay for the impeovements, and it being manifestly to the interest of the State to have the road at the end of the lease deliveted to the Stale in its ptcsent excellent condition, it appea:s to us that some just and equitable settlement with the Lessees for the vastly improved condition of the ptoperty ought to be made.
Third. In response to this inquiry, we horc\Yith tmnsmit a statement, Exhibit "B," showing tho number of engines which \YO received from tho State, which the l,essees ean deliver back to the State, with the full description, showing the capacity, a8 well as the oiginal numbers and names, and thei iH'esent numbor8 and names. The State delivetcd to the Lessees forty-five engines, of which five were condemned . and w01thless when doliYered. It will be observed that only thirty-one engines cn.n bo returned to the State, and that all of these engines have been rebuilt by the Western and Atlantic Hail road Company during the term of the lease; and it may be safely claimed that the engines, in thci ptescnt condition, arc better than they were when recciYed from the State. In respect to the fumtccn engines which have disap peared and entirely worn out, or disposed of as unsuitable to the service, it will be within the powet of the Lessees toreplace them with engines of equal condition in ovoy respect.
I" respect to the cars received from the State, we ure unable to make any statement, fu..thcr than to say that none of them can be identified, that they have all long Rince been wotn out, and have di,-appcarcd, and the only return the Lcs:<ces can make to the State will be to fumish an equal number of cars of equal or greater capacity, in as good condition as those which were received.
In respect to the personal property, we desire to transmit -herewith a statement, Exhibit C, ~;bowing the property re-
ceived from the State, which can be returned by the Lessees. It would be difficult to giYe a more complete description of this property than is shown by the Exhibit. There is no doubt but what the J,cssee!> can return property to tho State equal in quantity, condition and usefulness in every respect, to that received from the State.
It is only proper to add, in this connection, that if a just

1248

JouRSAL OF THE HousE.

and reasonable recognition of the claims of the Lessees is made by the State, there will be no difficulty whatever in reaching a conclusion whereby engines, cars and other personal popcrty shall be rctu1ned to the State, in cve1-y J't'SJ~ect equal in quantity and condition to the engines, c:.us and p<;rsonal property received from the State at the beginning of the lease. In otlur words, the Lessees "ill discha1ge the obligation resting upon them in this respect, to the lullest extent.
Fourth. As to what settlement or adjustment of the claims of the Lc:;sces, for impro\ements to property, which the Lessees desi1q to 1mbmit to the committee, we have this to say: It is not ou1 wish to suggest to the Gcnt>ral Assembly what .ought to be done in respect w this matter, but in vi<~\\' of the inquiy which has been madt, it would, perhaps, be the pl"OJWL" thing fot us to give our views. They arc, that it the Gcucrnl Assembly shall assent to a settlement of this claim, or prodde a medium through wilich the settlement can be n:adc, that the Lessees will accept, in settlement of the amount due to the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company, the bonds of the State, at fom per cent. interest, or will accept in monthly payments, ten thousand dollars per month, or the excess ove a rental of twenty-fhc thousand dollars per month of the Western and Atlantic Raihond, undc the new lease, until such sum, with four per cent. interest on dcfcll'ed payment,., shall cancel the indebtedness agreed to be due from the State to the Lessees of the Wc~tcrn and Atlantic Railroad.
It i8 but jus~ to add that the foregoing statement is given with great ehccrfulness in response to the cx1wcs~ed wish of the c(Jmmittce, and in the hope of an amicable and fai adjustment of the mattct invohed, but it is not designed in any respcc:t to waive or abtidgc the rights of the Lc~~ces 111 any proceeding which they may find it necessary to resort to in the event tbc matter is not adjusted by the present General As~cmbly, or methods adopted whereby the matter may be adjusted during the next ninety days, whieh time it must be couccdcd is quite sufficient for an adjustment if any is intended to be made.
Respectfully submitted. JOSEPH E. BRO\YN, President.

WHEREAS, The State of Georgia entered into a contract

of lease with Jos. E. Brown and others for certain property,

known as the Western and Atlantic Railroad, which lease

will terminate and expire on the 27th day of December,

1890, and,

.

WHEREAS, After nearly twenty years tenancy, the lessees

have presented certain claims for adjustment to the House

of Representatives which are itemized as follows, to-wit:

1st. Taxes paid to the State of Tennessee. 2nd. Money paid in construction of depot of Atlanta. 3rd. Surplus rolling stock. 4th. Side tracks. The same appearing in the official statement of the President of said company made and rendered to this House in (lompliance with the joint resolution of the General Assemply, and presented to the House by said joint committee, which items, whether just ot unjust charges, whether right or wrong, are subjects of s~rious controversy between the State and the lessees, and, . WHEREAS, This House has refused to consider any over-

tun's for settlement, or to authorize ~aid Lessees to make ;their claim in any Court, or befOI"e any tribunal, and,
\VHEREAS, Such a course is calculated to prejud1ce the interPst of the State and the taxpayers thereof, by heavy and eo~tly litigation in the Courts, and will seriously impair thP \alue of the p1operty soon to be ad\ertised per lease, .and,
WHEREAS, In the opinion of the undersigned, it is :against the interest of the State to offer to the public the valuable property of the State thus incumbered, I theref())'e {)ffer my pmtest against the non-action of the House in this important matter before adjournment, and ask that the same he spreacl on the Journal of the House.
w. H. VENABLE.
We join in the above. E. S. GRIFFIN, Twiggs Co. ALFORD HERRINGTON, Emanuel Co.

Being satisfied that the State Road, at one time during this session, could have been leased for a much larger amount than the former price of lease, but in my opinion, in consequence of unwise legislation, we have lost the opportunity. I therefore concur in the foregoing protest.
A. G. McARTHUR.

As I understand the protest, in so fiu as the same relates to the failure of the Honse to eliminate the Tennessee taxes,

and the rolling stock, which is the property of the Lessees, and to provide for a hearing and adjustment of the same, (espe1~ially the latter) before the lease bids are to be opened, I hereby join in the foregoing protest.

I hereby join in the above explained protest.
