| Now. as said before, Mr. President
according TO that notice. these remon
strants have a right to come in her
and put in that remonstrance for what
it is worth; and in the interests of JUS
tice and fair play. | say let the re-
monstrances go to the committee and
if they are worth nothing they can dc
no harm, and if they have application
they should go there.
| Mr.. STAPLES of Knox-If the Sen
ate will look at House bill No. 9. An
act TO supply the town of Camden with
pure water. While / grant that in the
first preparation of the bill the ponds
in the town of Hope at which these re-
ImonStranceS We're aimed. We're in the
bill, as opposition came from the town
of Hope. they We're eliminated from the
bill. as you will see by House bill. No.
IT,. The town of Camden by it's NUM-
cipal officers, or by a commission, as
hereinafter provided, acting for and in
behalf of said town. is authorized and
empowered to take water from Hos
mer'S pond in the town of Camden. in
the county of Knox. and Fletcher pond
in the town of Lincolnvlle. in the coun
ty of Waldo, and any other boty of
water in said towns of LincolnVille and
Camden, sufficient for domestic pur
poses in said Camden"
| Now certainly the bill does not call
| for any water from the town of Hope.
If the Senate will look at the remon-
strances it will see that they remon-
strate against the granting of char
ter to take water from Fish pond,
Hobbs pond. Grassy pond, Affords
lake Crawford pond and their tributar-
les. in the towns of Warren, Union and
| Hope Now it seems to me that the
merits of the case should not be pre-
iudiced by these Inconsistencies, which
might be construed as being against
the charter itself. The bill goes be
fore the committee-it matters not
about the notice-the bin is going be
/. fore the committee, and they do not
require and do not ask to take water
from the town of Hope. The remon-
strances are against taking water from
the town of Hope: and [ ask, gentle
men, that as they do not refer to the
. | bill itself that the case should not De
prejudiced by having it go forth that
there were remonStranceS against NAY :
ing q charter for the town Of Camden.
Mr.. NOBLE of Franklin: | would
like TO ask if the remonSuances are
lust alike. May they not apply 70
other towns than the town or hope
Mr.. STAPLES of Knox: | do not see
that there is any difference III 'he wv
> remonstrances. They are both against
taking water from the same poiloS vi
lakes. and the bill does not refer TO an!
az the waters that the remonstfallce y
against. Why should these remoh-
strances go to the judiciary or any
other committee
Mr.. NOBLE: l submit that II Is too
simple a question for TINS Whole 81
