Mr.. HASKELL of Portland, introduced the
following order:
| ORDERED, That the Clerk of the House be
directed to furnish for the use Of the House
2o00 copies of the report of the Commission
ers on Paper Credits, without the appendix.
Mr.. BoNNEY said the report had not been
received by the House. The statutes pre-
scribe that the report should be made to the
Legislature. 1t has been made to the Senate,
but for some reason it has been kept there.
He thought the proper way would be to wait
for official knowledge that the report has been
made.
Mr.. HASKELL said the type is all up, and
the expense for printing will be small. As an
early adjournment is looked for, he thought it
necessary that the House should take some
action in the matter of having the report
printed.
| Mr.. WILSON said the Senate had assumed
exclusive jurisdiction over the report, and we
are in the dark, and he thought the proper
course would be to call upon the Senate for
the document, so that we can know what we
are ordering printed.
The order was withdrawn.
Bill an act to incorporate the Cooperative
Store and Loan Company was read a third
| time
| Mr.. JOHNSON moved its indefinite post
ponement. He cared nothing for this bill.
but he did not deem it expedient for this Leg
| islature to establish rule for action. by the
incorporation of company with the small
capital of $4,000, for the purpose of selling
goods. He recited his experience, and shew
| it to be Improbable to those investing in
small concerns.
| Mr.. RAwsoN desired time to look into the
case, and on his motion the bill was tabled,
pending the motion to indefinitely postpone.
On motion of Mr.. SEwALL, bill an act au-
thorzing the European and North American
Railway Company to build branches, was
taken from the table.
Mr.. WILSON, as member of the Judiciary,
from whom the bill was reported, said he
thought it fit matter for the Committee on
Railroads, and he moved that it be so re-
ferred.
Mr.. SEwALL thought it unnecessary. 1t
had been passed upon by the ablest committee
in the House, the bill had been printed and
was before the House. 1t provides that this
company shall be authorized to build side
tracks to mills, and he thought the House
could dispose OF it then.
Messrs. Atwell and Cousens spoke briefly
in favor of the passage of the bill as it then
stood.
The bill was then referred to the Railroad
/ Committee.
| The report of the Committee on Elections,
submitting to the House for consideration the
case of Gideon A. Hastings VS.. Moses c. Fos-
ter, came up by special assignment
On motion of Mr.. JOHNSON the report was
accepted, and the committee discharged.
Mr.. CARLETON submitted resolve declar-
ing Gideon A Hastings duly elected MEM
Der of the House Of Representatives, and en-
titled to seat in the House; that Moses C.
Foster 1.-THE sitting member is not entitled TO
a seat therein.
Messrs. CARLETON and KNAPP made some
personal explanations, and the time for ad-
Ijournment having arrived, the House, on mo-
ton of Mr.. WALL,
Adjourned.
