additional to an act to regulate the sale OF in

and the vote passing the same to be engrossed

The same member offered to amend by
adding a new section so as to allow the proper
authorities of cities, towns and plantations of
this State to purchase liquors from the State
Commissioners of Massachusetts,.
The amendment was opposed by Messrs.
Burgess, Bonney, Barker, Baker, Foss.
Warehouse, Stickney, Hammond of Paris,
and McLain, and favored by Messrs. Hum
phrey, Gushing, Farwcll, and Main.
The friends of the amendment contended
that the people who wish liquors for medicinal
purposes should be allowed to go where they
| can get them the purest and cheapest, and not
be obliged to submit to monopoly by one
person, and its opponents took the ground
| that the Massachusetts Commits sioners would
not be under the control of this State, and
| it would cause an indiscriminate use OF
liquors.

ton was ordered, and on motion OF MIR.
