MAINE LEGISLATURE.
CONTINUED from LIST page. ]

there is some special reason for 1t, II
strikes me that they refer to matter
which is in the charge and province OF
the committee ON railroads. 1t seems 10
me that it is matter. requiring spcciai
information which believe the commit
tee on railroads possesses, and which the
legal affairs committee docs not have
no personal preference whatever IN the
matter, but would simply like to c'h
the attention Of the Senate to the matter
Perhaps some of the gentlemen who have
presented these petitions can give us some
exclamation of and reason for the referring
Of these matters to the committee on legal
affairs.
Mr. Hoyey of Somerset: Sometime ago
in the House petitions Of this same kind
were presented, and both the Senate ana
the House have concurred in referring
this matter to the committee on legal
affairs. A hearing was assigned by the
legal affairs committee, and notices nave
been sent out to all the papers Of the
State, to all parties interested IN 'his
matter citing them to appear at TINS near
ing. Other papers winch nave CONT III
relating to his matter have been referred
to the same committee. Members VI Tue
LEGAL affairs committee have consulted
with members Of the railroads committee,
and il was thought best to leave the mat
or with the committee on legal AFFAIRS
Mr. Engel of Penobscot; Will say
that spoke to the senator from Somerset
about this matter, and he told me that IL
would be perfectly proper for the com
mittec on legal affairs to consider these
petitions and papers, and draw up ther
report, and an act, and that WHEN they
have drafted the act they will SEND the
matter to the committee on railroads Tor
their approval SO that the Senate VIII
have the report of the two committees
on the matter.
Mr.. Higgins Of York: 1t seems to me that
there is too much confusion IN the reler-
cnces of petitions, bills. etc. call attention
to it for the very reason of pointing out
to the Senate the confusion which Is apt
to arise from the references OF matters OF
the same nature to different committees.
In view of the explanation given by the
senator from Somerset, however, do not
make any motion in this particular case.
