Mr.. Her.ev of Buekfield-It seems to
me that 5000 is rather q high price
to pay for charter. Many towns
would never ge. charter for 3 water
company il they had TO pay that amcuot for
it. believe that citizen Of the State OF
Maine should have the right to come here
without money and ask his special charters
of the legislature. think that the amend
ment Of $25 is plenty high CROUCH.
Me-. Cis-ou asked it amendments had no,
been sdde3 in the Senate covering the same
poiut, and ssked for the reading of the
epgf0ssed bill.
The Chair stated that the bill as en-
crossed wss Senate document 225, and
asked Mr.. Drew to prepare bi, amendment
ia accordance with the ensrossed bill.
MIR. Drew-Aiter examining the bill
am opposed to it on the whole. 1t is not ia
the interest Of the people, especially the
smsll FOWLS and communities, many Of
which wouid never have any water works
if they had to psy this large fee.
1t SEE ms to me ii Is good thing for the
Sat, to encOursg, the various IDdusirie
i, stsad Of IL flictiug large fee upon them.
| withdraw my former amendment and
