Tufts. Dutton and Grindstone ponds

Mr.. Dunn of Orono, presented the
following order:
Ordered. The Senate concurring. that
the time for the reception Of petitions
bills and resolves for private and spec
ial legislation be extended TO Thurs
day, March :, 1901. and that all such
petitions. bills and resolves presented
after that date be referred to the next
Legislature.
Ny. CHASE of Portland: trust that
the order will not have a passage. II
has always been Il custom. l think, t.
extend the time for the reception oi
such matters once. That has already
been done and the time has been eX-
tended one week later than it was tive
years ago. by the first order the time
terminated Jan. "a. | think. and the
time was then extended for one week
to the end of January. Now we have
already extended the time to Feb. g.
1t seems to me that it is not necessary
to pass a general order extending This
time further. OF course it is understood
that il there are special matters which
il is necessary should be presented
the rule can be suspended and any par
ticular bill received. This is always
done. The object of limiting the time
for the reception of private matters is
to give notice to the public that such
matters must be in early in the SEES
sion in order to facilitate the business
of the session. Now we have got along
to the sixth week of the session and it
seems to me that it would be unWiSe
i only speak my own judgment-to
give notice to the public that they can
have further time for matters of pri-
vate and special legislation. If there
are necessary matters they can be TAX
en- care of. That is understood. | GER
tainly hope that there will be no fur
Their notice given to the public that
the time has been extended.
