reminded him of the original oontrat be-
tween Gorham and the state. Mr. Dickey
then old of that agreement that the school
be maintained by the state, of which he had
personal knowledge.
Mr.. Haines of Watervile spoke for the
appropriate and called attention to the
fact that this is a state institution He said
that this case reminded him of an ex-
perience at Orono. The trustees of the
State college found that they were paying
retail prices for meat. They put i'll a re-
frigerator. bought their meat in large guam
titles and there was the greatest indigna-
tion among the Oronc meat dealers Gentle
men these institutions are run for the bene-
1t of the educational intel ests of the state,
not for the meat dealers.
Mr.. Winslow of Portland, said he had
been in doubt about this matter. but the de-
hate had converted him, and he should vote
for the resolve. If as the gentleman from
Gorham said. the doImitory would accom-
modate only twenty pupils then the others
would have to board in private families. so
that both sides TO the controversy would get
something.
Mr.. Boothby of Saco. also supported the
| resolve. as did Mr.. Floyd of Brewer.
The yeas and nays were ordered on
motion of Mr.. Burns. and the House voted
to substitute the minority report for the
majority. The Portland members were re-
corded in favor of the resolve. So was Mr..
Moore of Deering.
THE LOBSTER LAW.
The lobster law was again before the
House this morning. the question coming
on the adoption of the Senate amendment
permitting the taking of short Holsters in
Washington county from August 1 until
October 15, annually in order that the can
ners may carry on their business. Mr..
Rodick of Eden, moved that the House do
not concur.
| Mr.. Plummer of Dexter. supported the
amendment. He said he did not understand
The lobster business. but did regard the
amendment as matter of Justice to the
| canning interest.
| This lead M Crockett of North Haven to
retort. that as the gentleman from Dexter
had stated that he knew nothing about the
| lobster business. he should keep still and
| let those who did understand it do the
! talking.
| Mr.. Plummer said that while he did not
understand the lobster business. he did
claim to understand the reasons for the
passage of this amendment.
| Mr.. Moore of Gouldsboro opposed the
amendment. He said it drew an imaginary
line through Gouldsboro bay. one one side
of which fishermn might take nine inch
Holsters while on the other a fisherman
could take only Holsters ten and one-half
inches in lenght.
Mr.. Lawrence of Lubec supported the
amendment.
| ! he House voted not to adopt them, how
ever. and passed the bill to be engrossed in
it's original form. 1t now goes back to the
Senate and unless that body reverses its
action of yesterday, committee of con-
ference will be in order.
FOR A STATE AUDITOR.
sena tor Hume today presented an order
| which passed the Senate calling on the
judiciary to inquire into he expedieny CT
creating the Office of state auditor. There
has been mere or less discussion here all
| winter of the advisability of taking such
| action. Now bills against the state are
| audited by the proper committee of the
Governors Council, but this method does
not secure the eAactness and despatch
the state.
