Door KEEPERS.
Mr.. Parker of Belfast introduced the
following:
Ordered, That Clarence Hurd of Liberty
door keepers to the House of Representa-
tivss.
Mr., Hawes of Deering inquired what
need there was Of more door keepers for
the House. They had already messengers
and assistant messengers, and as he under
stood it, the appointment of door keeper
involved the expenditure of at least the
average salary of member of the House.
Mr.. Parker said that there were four
doors, and that a door keeper was really
nee ded at each of them. If they didn't see
the need of this at present. they certainly
would by and by, according to the state
ments Of former members, when they 90:
to doing business.
Mr. Hawes said that in his former expert
ence he had never seen aay trouble from
their constituents coming on to the floor of
the House, and it seemed to him that it
would be time enough to have these door
keepers appointed when they experienced
the trouble.
Mr.. Savage Of Auburn said that it seemed
TO him that they could remedy the difficulty
if there wass,sny, when it should arise. He
moved that The order lie on the table. The
motion was carried.
STAMrs FOR MEMBERS.
Mr.. Trussell of St. George Introduced
the following order
Ordered. That the Secretary of State be
directed to furnish each member of the
House with postage stamps 20 the amount
of six dollars for use during the session Of
the legislature.
Mr.. Trussell said that he did not present
the order for the benefit of the House,
particularly, but for the benefit Of their
constitpe nts, especially those of the rural
districts. As q member of the House.
he considered it his duty TO keep
his constituents informed, and i;
did not seem to Tim. with the
| small pittance that the members receive,
that they should take from that sum enough
TO supply their constituents with the re-
| ports and papers placed upon their desks.
He felt very confident that his const;uent
would not object to the sum required from
| them for this purpose, and he also fell
tha. they wanted all matter which could
consistently be sent them. He was in ia
vor of economy for every portion Of the
| State and especially for the laboring man,
but this was veyy small matter and one
thst should receive attention.
! Mr.. White of Bangor hoped that the or.
/ der would not pass. To be sure, it was 8
small matter. but it meant in the sggre gate
an expenditure Of over Thousand dollars
/ 1t would be a small tax on individual me m
bers, but would adj materially to the ex
pendisures CT the State at large.
