ORDERS.
The following order was received from
he House and was given passage in'con-
currence:
Ordered. the Senate concurring tina.
when we adjourn, we adjourn TO Tuesday
at 10 O'Clock y. NJ. March ?.
Mr.. Walls of Knox. presented the fol-
lowing order:
Ordered. That the messenger be direct
ed to discontinue the open wood fires in
the fire places of the Senate chamber.
MIR. Stearns of AToostook moved to lay
the order on the table and it was so
voted
Mr.. Ferguson of sagadahoc, doubted
the vote.
Mr.. Walls: would explain. Mr. presi-
dent. why | introduced that order. The
temperature of this Senate chamber has
been from 90 to so, and it has been rather
an uncomfortable place in which to re-
main. ! would rather defer these warm |
surroundings until the time when | can
not help myself. and sitting near the |
fire place. with the additional heat from |
the heating apparatus. it is very un-
comfortable thing for me. If they will |
keep the temperature down to anywhere |
near decent temperature. l have no OBJ |
lection to the fire places being used and a |
wood fire burning, but l do not care TO |
have it made quite SO hot for me while |
here on earth.
Mr., Stearns: The greatest consolation |
that have in this Senate chamber is the |
actual existence of these open wood fires. |
and l. for one, would be very unwilling |
to see them discontinued. | appreherd |
that there would be no difficulty. on the |
request of the senator from Knox. or |
from any other senator, to tine person in |
charge of the heating apparatus. to have
the temperature reduced that comes from
the steam pipes. so that the room will /
not be overheated. and have made this
on the table. in the hope that some ar
rangement may be made to satisfy the |
senator from Knox. so that we will not |
be deprived of what is to me the almos: |
inestimabe comfort of an open fire.
The question being on the motion to
table the order. Is voted in the affirmative
stI!u III tne negative. anu tne OTueF WAS |
laid on the table.
The President called Mr.. Engel of Pen
obscot to the chair. who presided during !.
the remainder of the session.
