consideration of II. 1913, TO incorporate the
Northern Railroad Company, which mo-
ton was agreed to. Mr.. Hall moved that

of seven. TO be appointed by the Speaker.
Mr.. Wood of Fairhaven, opposed the
motion, on the grovnd that il should go TO
its appropriate committee, the committee
on railroads The appointment of 90 many
special committees was unnecessary, and
he should oppose the proposed reference.
Mr.. Hall said that a portion of the
present railroad committee had similar
bill under consideration and passed upon
it, reporting sginst it. He thought the
committee itself would desire 10 be re-
lieved from the consideration Of the bill,
and for that reason he moved a special
committee.
Mr.. Wood cited precedents in the re-
ference of similar bills, and thought
there was no good reason for its reference
to any other than its appropriate COM
mittee.

mittee of seven was then agreed to. Ayes,

where it occurs in sec. l, and insert in
lieu thereof the word "seyen," 80 that il
will read "ssven dollars for the use of ev-
cry one hundred dollars" and briefyfgave
