the vote was reconsidered whereby the
House passed to he engrossed bill relat-
ing to the manufacture. sale and ship
ment of lime.
Mr.. Thurston moved that the bin be In
definitely postponed
Mr.. Fogler of Rockland said that he
desired to state the object of the bill. The
Statutes now provided for the inspection
of lime casks and the brand of casks
containing lime. The lime burners pro
rose to experiment upon the ACCESSIBILITY
of putting up lime in bags and one OF the
great objects of the experiment is to
goes of lime taking fire. More or less
cargoes of lime take fire by the water
coming 10 the lime. 1t is believed by
packing lime in bags that the cargo will

own impression is that the act is not
necessary. although there is technical
question raised there and the manufac
turers do not wish that to arise. This
bill does not interfere with the manufac-
ture of casks or the packing of lime in
casks. There is no law which compels
rels: or to prevent them from packing 1t
in bags. The only thing that this bill
asks for is that if lime is packed in bags,
the law. which requires the lime casks

apply. 1t would seem to be unnecessary.
The bin does not interfere with any in
dustry.
Mr.. Thurston of Appleton: I believe
that no vessel should have the right to
take any lime unless in casks that are

law is enacted it will irijure the people of
those counties. Perhaps the lime burners
can get bags cheaper. but believe it will
kill out the industry of the lime cask
maker.
Mr. Fogler of Rockland: There is no
their lime in casks. ! do not think 1t in
trefers with the lime industry in any
way.
The question on the indefinite postpone
ment. of the bill, Mr.. Fogler called for
division.
A division being had the motion to in
definitely postpone was lost by vote of
50 for to 46 against.
The bill was then passed to be en-
crossed.
