Mr.. ADAMS Of Pcnobscot: would
like to inquire Of the senator from
Knox. Of those gentlemen whom he re-
fers to did not have an opportunity:
and We're they not before the commit
tee. Haven't they been before the
committee-Were they not there? Now
they have been before the committee.
They have been heard. Why this de
lay? | think they have had their day.
their opportunity. and if they have.
why ask to delay this matter? l fully
understand the position Mr.. President.
| known the reference the senator
makes as TO certain people in our com
munity. ] know all the "out" and
''ins'' of it, There is no reason for it,
1t is simply 4 private pique that is all
there is to it, simply a private pique.
This is 4 matter that interests all the
people of our city-it interests all Of
us who are voters. There are two
there who have private pique and
who object to this matter and want to
delay il. 1t cannot be helped. of course.
We can understand that-it cannot be
helped. But. at the same time | do not
believe this Legislature should trig the
wheels or cause the machinery to stop
think we should go right along, just
the same.
Mr.. WEEKS Of Somerset: | would
like to ask the senator from Penobscot,
a question. if he will permit me. |
would like to ask, if this matter goes
over to next Tuesday and the bill is
then passed if it could apply TO the
coming city election in March.
Mr.. ADAMS: l would have to take
the calendar and figure up to see.
Mr.. WEEKS: Next Tuesday is the
18th of February.
Mr.. PLI'MMER of Penobscot; Mr..
President. | believe the election is To be
on the 18th of March. Next Tuesday
is the 18th of February. and the list
must be posted 30 days before the cleo
ton So that, if the matter goes over
until next Tuesday. ii cannot apply 70
this coming election. and that was the
reason for asking a suspension of the
rules. f
