Mr. Parkhurst moved that this bill
lie on the table pending it's reference
to the committee.
Mr. BEAL: | introduced the bill and
/ think the proper place is the Legal
Affairs Committee. | desire to have
il so referred. 1t seems to me that it
is only delaying the getting of these
matters before the committees-they
are already short of material for work
and | can see no reason except it be
a personal one why the bill should lie
on the table. | hope the motion will
not prevail.
Mr. PARKHCRST: l ask the indul-
gence of the House for word.
The SPEAKER: A motion to lay on
the table is not debatable, but if there
is no objec ton the gentleman may pro
coed.
Mr. PARKHURST: | merely wished
to say that | would like TO have the
bill laid on the table so as to consult
with my colleague from Bangor (Mr.
BeaD, and if possible arrive at an
agreement in regard to its reference
without moving division of the
House on this question. | do not think
a delay until tomorrow morning is UNI
reasonable. and l hope the House will
agree to the motion.
The question being. shall the bill lie
on the table pending its reference to
the committee.
The motion was lost.
The bill was then referred to the
