HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
- - - Thursday, April 7, 1S53.
Mr- Chase, from committee to investigate the
affairs of the Canal Commissioners, relative to
the Portage railroad, and the matters connected
with their conduct in reference to the same, ask
1 for an extension of time to S;it urdav, fur them
to make a report. After some enversation be
tween Messrs. Chase, Hart, Kilbourn, Merri
man, Foter. Skinner and Flunigtn, the motion
mus agreed t, yens 01, ways 15.
APPROPRIATION BILL.
The general appropriation' tail was thenttken
up : pending the question on the section nuthor
iring the Governor and State Treasurer to anti
. cipate the revenue of the Commonwealth for
1853 and 1854, by procuring loan3 to be reim
bursed as the means may be received into the
treasury.
Mr. Merriman was opposed to the mode of
. raising money in the manner indicated in the
Lill.
Mr. Kilbourn advocated the measure, for the
-reason that the money to be raised was to be
-appropriated for the specific purpose of comple
ting the Saratoga railroad and the North Branch
eanaL
m Mr. Hart thought the source relied upon for
dl8U',r3ement of the loan desired, was a preeari
nd ' (7'icstionable one, and if a? more tempo-
rarv loan TV" CKr"-"- llu Ilu uc-cuou

Mr Merriman was opposed to the section, j
and although it was necessary that annppropn-
i L 1 tj Li OUVUIU WC U1UUV. UilU liiV I1IVIUV.J It uni -
ss chnu n rA vi r rt r nnn rnn m - nnt t ,-.
some source, yet he was opposed to this mode of
obtaining the money
After some remarks from Mr. Barr, the sec
tion was agreed to.
The 30th section of the bill being under con
sideration, it was moved to amend by reducing
the appropriation for the North Branch canal,
relaying the track on the Columbia ruiTroad, and
the avoidance of the inclined planes on the Por
tage railroad, from five hundred nnd thirteen
thousand to four hundred and sixty three thous
and dollars.
After some debate" between Messrs. Flanigen
nnd Chase, the sum of three hundred thousand
dollars was appropriated to the North Branch
canal, one hundred and eighty-seven thousand
to the Columbia Railroad, and four hundred and
sixty-three thousand dollars to the Portage
railroad.
The question of appropriations to the works
and improvements above mentioned was enrncst-
ly and ably argued by Messrs. Strong and Dun-
ring, and especially the importance of the Nor:h j
Branch canal, which, U was contended would, it ,
completed, prove one of the gre.itest and most
productive source of revenue which the State i
ever had or could possess.
Mr. Wharton, while he wished that all pros-
perity might attend the completion of the North ,road, then it would be both prudence and sound
Branch canal, was doubtful of the estimates judgment to stop : but how far it might be expe
which had been submitted, and he objected to dient to proceed on that portion of the road
the project of taking any sum away from the ap- J
propriation to the Portage railroad for t lie pur-r-ose
of completing the North Branch canal, and
he earnestly objected to any abandonment of the
work for the avoidance of the inclined planes,
being so much like superlative 'dry, either on
tho part of the last or the present Legislature, j
He was for providing sufficient means lor the
completion of both, and if the House would go
for it, he would add his influence to. cany it.
but he would not consent that the avoidance of
the Portage road should be iu any way jeopard
ized. Mr. Henderson thought it a conceded fact i
that a sufficient appropriation should be made ;
for the completion of the North Branch canal.
Lut he was opposed to malting any appropriation (
to either until it couia te understood ana some
guarantee given that the money would be faith
fully expended. lie thought the better disposi
tion of the matter would be cither to sell or lease
the public works to companies, an.l thus relieve
l.orsclf from the immense corruptions which
their continuance in the hands of the Common
wealth engenders.
Mr. Merriman disagreed with the views last
expressed. He thought when it was ascertained
that a specific sum would complete" the works
and place the State in full possession of her
works completed, it was politic and advisable.

had nlready been expended. It-was very im-1
norfnnt bnwever. to ascertain where the money '
was to come from; but if it could he had, let it
tc appropriated, and the revenue derivable from
their completion be permitted to flow into the
treasury.
Mr. Kelso said he should vote against the ap
propriation asked for. They ought to withhold
until the question of a sale of the main line of
the public works was decided. It had been
thown that the statements of the Canal Commis
sioners were "false, and conveyed false impress
ions to the public.mind, and ns they could not
be relied on, and-the present time was auspi
cious for their sale, it ought to be done, and the
Cause of corruption which, was now desolating
the State, destroyed". ' Owing'to the mismanage
ment of the public works, capital was driven
from the State, nnd the energies of the people
depressed by the present incubus, which now
pressed on the public by reason of the possess
ion and management of the public works by the
public officers of the Commonweaftu
Mr. Wharton said, in reply to the gentleman 1
from Erie. Olr. Kelso1) I am in favor of the sale !
of the main line of the Pennsylvania improve
ments, and to effect that object, it is the policy
of this House to make the appropriation asked
for by the Committee of Ways and Means, fur
the Portage railroad. Mr. Strong's bill propo
ses to take SI 5.000.000 for the main line.
Now. Mr. Speaker, if we refuse to make the ap-.
propriaticn asked for, and by so doing, show to iSSUcd out of the Orphans' Court of said county,
the world that we are about to 'abandon our im- 'and to mo directed, an Inquisition will be hdd
provements, it would have such an effect upon OI, the Real Estate of the said James Rhey, de
purchasers that it would have' a great tendency ceased, situate in the county of Cambria afore
to prevent the sale. I say again to this House s.u.l, on Monday, the twenty-third day tf May mxt,
that we should make 'the appropriation, and at 10 o'cloch ih the forenoon of said day, for
then pass the bill for the -sale, .of -the public ( the purpose of making partition of the same to
Works, and my word for it, Pennsylvania wjll.ui :m,ong the heirs a ud legal representatives of
never again be called on for another appropria- j Srti,i deceased, if the same can be done without
lion. But if we refuse the appropriation, we ! prejudice to e.r spoiling the whole, otherwise -to
abandon our public works and we will never j value and appraise the same according to law ;
therefore be able to sell the works. It Pcim.-; at which' time and place you may attend if you
sylvama can get mo.uuu.000 for the mam nne,
Ehe can well attorti to masc an appropriation m.
$500,000, and then have such n price for the
main line as will enable Pennsylvania to pay her
.immense debt in the next fifteen years.
Mr. Walton could not, and would not, by his
rote, consent to eay further addition to the pub
lie dpbt. He was' in favor of the .completion of
the North Branch Canal because it would facil-
Ua(a a f r.vrr! tac r C vet o ItK nVtd industrv -in the
iiaiu uivi l'hi.vj v w.v j- v
B.r, nf ih Stnt in which it is located, and
-would increase the revenues of the Common
wealth; and although' he was opposed to' increa
sing the burdens of the people, ' still, under the
circumstances, lie would vote for the completion
fthatlironcli of the public works. As to the
Portage road, it was conceived in sin,, and, if
completed, wcld be brought forth in iniquity.
He was opposed to it'in'all phases, and the soo
ner in e State was rid of it the better. He would
not vote one dollar for thefurther prosei-ution of
that work; and while there was a project to sell
ihe main line, it was the true policy of the State
to sell it'and get rid of the difiacuities and cor
ruptions connected yiith ite poascsaiou. ..',""',
The'Speaker addressed the Iloune iu favor of
the appropriation to the North Branch canal,
the Portage road and the Columbia road. He
was also in favor oT the sale of "the public works:
but inasmuch ns it was not certain that anv
ale could b-e effected he was in favor of the ap
propriation. Ho. went for all together, and
thought all the requests for money' should be
complied with, until it was ascertained what !is-p-csition
wau'd hi r.iado of the project to sell the
mam line of tfce public works: and if nil the-appropriations
could uot be' -carried together, he
liopednouof them would succeed. :.As it was,
the' only safe course was to pass the nVpropria
tiou, and if the HI! f.r the- s ile p.nssed'., the ap
propriation could bo sfru krnfrouT the bill.
Mr. KiTbourn contended that t1io.se who refu
sed to vote niot'ey tr the Portfire road, and still
require that additional appropriation to the
Columbia road, were inconsistent, inasmuch as
with the Pi rtage roid. the whole Columbia road
would be utterly useless, and Lancaster county
be left in its original poverty.
Mr. Strong thought the gentleman from Weft
moreland, (Mr Cook,) understood preaching
better than legislation, and words of fancy bet
ter than figures. He then went into an exami
nation of the facts and statistics as connected
with the revenue received from the public works,
and insisted that without such revenue the State
would be helplessly and hopelessly without rem-
en v. On this ground he in pel the appropna-
fur the completion of the North Brand! Ca-
oppose it. Ifelnal. He also urged the : appropriation to the
rortage ronfi, it heing necessary to induce the
purchase contemplated 1? the bill introduced
lo. "J-"1 purpose.

AFTKUXOoX SF3SION.
Hie appropriation bid was then taken up on i
the amendment offered by Mr. Hart, duriiiii the
I morning se.-sion.
j Mr. Henderson was opposed to any further
appropriat'n n to the North Branch canal or the
; Portage road if it was seriously intended to pass
j a bill for the sale r.f the public works.
Mr. Eyster thought it time to stop with fur
I ther appropriations on the Portage road, unless
;it was better managed ; and with good managers'
of private business men with ordinary capacity,
, it would so be treated. The State had lost cn
lough without losincr another half million as
contemplated by
this b'.ll.
Mr. Flanigen said he was opposed to
the nm-
endinent, and hardly
what his course would
had mnde up his mind
be finally in relation to
this Portage road. If it could lie shown, (as he
thought it could be) that it was economy to"
abandon the expenditure already made on that
which h id avoided two of the planes was a ques-
tion to be settled.
Mr. Kilbourn viewed
the contest in relation
;tn the appropriation, as a contest between the
Pennsylvania railroad company and the State
; Improvements. That corporation was a power-
fu antagonist to contend with, ind there was
manifest attempt to monopolize the trade,
by
the
throwing it from the public works on to
Ponns vl vuikio- miivortj.
Mr. Strong spoke at considerable length in
support of the amendments, lie insisted that
there was no rivalry between the Central rail
road and the State improvements ; but one be
tween the St.-ites north and south of us; which
were now competing for. the trade of the great
west
He deemed it t f the utmost importance
that the appropriation should be made. The
amendment was then agreed to.
And the amendment offered by Mr. Kilbourn
as amended, was agreed to, yeas 05. nays 25.
Adjourned.
