each one of said companies, and the probable
amount required to put said roads and equip
ments in efficient order.

land the amount of fractional currency each
stakeholder has in his pocket lie said his
amendment was as suitable as the proposition
embraced in the order introduced. lie re-
garded the order as bordering upon the ride
ulous, and he had introduced the amendment
to make it as ridiculous as possible. He
moved that the order be indefinitely post
p0ned.

interested in any information that might be
gained by the amendment, and he hoped the
House would not sustain it. He thought his
order pertinent to the Maine Central loan bill
soon to come before it again, and he hoped
the order would have a passage, as he did not
wish to vote in the dark upon the matter.
Mr.. PORTER raised the point that the amend
ment offered by the gentleman from White
