Machias River. Read and assigned
Mr.. PHILBRIcK from the Committee on
Banks and Banking, reported bill an act adj
ditional to and amendatory of chap. AZ of the
Revised Statutes relating to Savings Banks,
and that the same ought to pass.
Mr.. MORRIS of the same committee, sub
mitted minority report accompanied by bill
an act to provide for the organization, SUI
pervision and administration of Savings
Banks, which he moved to substitute for the
majority report. Pending that motion both
reports were laid upon the table and ordered
to be printed.
Mr.. WEBER of Somerset presented a re-
solve in relation to the industrial statistics of
Maine, by which it is provided that under the
direction of the Governor and Council, a COM
pendulum of the report of the recent United
States Census be prepared and printed, to ex
hibit in condensed form the statistics of in
dustry for each city and town in the State of
Maine. Referred to the Committee on Man
ufactures.
An act authorizing the Maine Central
Railroad Company to make a loan came
from the House, and pending its passage to
be engrossed in concurrence,
Mr.. FOSTER of Penobscot moved that
Tuesday of next week at IL o'clock be as
signed for its consideration.
Mr.. Weber of Somerset saw no reason
for delay. Without any new light had been
discovered, are not members prepared to dis
pose of the matter now.
Mr.. FOSTER wished for more time to ex-
anime the bill.
MIR. DlNGLEy of Androscoggin hoped that
| the motion would prevail. 1t is a matter of
too much Importance to be acted upon hastily.
Mr.. FARRINGToN of Oxford called attention
| m bn far bat n plynhpr n Senators
were absent in visiting our public institu-
tons. He favored postponement.
| Mr.. WEBER withdrew his objections.
| The Senate voted to assign next Tuesday
at III o'clock for the consideration Of the bill.
Act to fix the compensation of the Justices
of the Supreme Judicial Court, came up by
assignment, the question being on the amend
ment offered by Mr.. Kinks of Hancock, to
strike out 81, 900 and insert 81 900.
Mr.. SPAULDING did not know as it was nee
essary to say anything further in relation to
this bill. He would simply say that as to the
proper amount to be given it was matter of
judgment. He did not know what foundation
the remark had, which had been made, that
those in favor of an increase of the Judges
salaries were enemies to them. That remark
did not apply to himself nor to the committee
from which the bill was reported. 1t was no
| more than right and just that we should pay
to our judges the same compensation that
they receive from their private practice. He
believed that the State should pay for servi-
ces what they are worth in the market. He
hoped the bill would oRss as it came from the
Committee. The Oh leffect of the amend
nient is to do away with the filing of travel
ling expenses by the judges.
Mr.. CHAPLIN of Cumberland, said that the
method which had been adopted in attacking
the bill was very cheap way for the malign-
ers of our judges to whitewash themselves.
Mr.. SPAuLDING disclaimed that the COM
| mittee intended to cast any reflection upon
the judges. The bill was reported as mat
ter of justice to the members of the bench
Mr.. MCCLELLAN of Waldo, thought there
should be no hesitation in giving $4,000. HI
did not understand this talk about whitewash
ing.
Mr.. KENNEDY of Lincoln wanted to know
if the committee had taken into consideration
the salaries of judges in other States.
Mr.. SpAuLDING said the salaries elsewher,
were largely in excess.
The amendment was rejected and the bill
passed to be engrossed.
Adjourned.
