ed,
Inc president subsequently named as
committee of conference on the part
oI the Senate with reference to the
| foregoing bills and resolves. Messrs.
| Morse, EroWn and PhiloOn.
| Inc following order came from the
| Rouse: prder.-that when the House
ahc Senate adjourn it be to meet on
luesday. March :. at 40 P. NJ. 1905
Mir. Pierce of AroostOok thereunon
moved TO amend the order so that il
would read. AT 1890 Tuesday morn
| ing" instead of 4.3O p. NJ.
Mr.. STAPLES of Knox: Mr.. pres;-
dent. am Informed, and l think il is,
| correct that the town meetings in tho
several towns of the State will be
held on Monday. and a great many
| of the Senators and Representatives
| Will desire to attend such meet
ings. and it will take abou, all
| their time on Monday, and it would
| be difficult for the Senators and Repre-
sentatives to get here any sooner than
| four o'clock on Tuesday. l hope that
| the motion of the Senator from Aroos-
took will not prevail.
Mr.. PIERCE of AroostOOk: Mr.
President. my only reason for Offering
| the amendment is that nearly all of the
committees are pressed with work for
next week. and there are many hear
ings for Tuesday afternoon. If we
| have meeting of both branches in the
| afternoon it will Interfere with the
| work of the committees. / think that
| nearly all the members can be here or
| the early train Tuesday morning and
| be able to take part in the session at
1880. 1t seems to me that the busi-
| ness of both branches would be for
| warded by converting at 1880 instead
of 4.30
Mr.. MORSE of Waldo: Mr. President.
| the town meetings are quite generally
'SAA VII -stoiIOdS. Ill lily
case have to travel fifteen or sixteen
miles to get train. and if have to
be here at 1890 it means quite an early
start. Why could the session not be
POSTPONED until evening? hope the
gentleman will not insist upon his mo-
ton to amend.
MIR. GARDNER of Penobscot: Mr..
President large number of the towns
in the northern part of the State do not
hold their town meetings on Monday,
and l think that the committee meet
iEgs Of the present Legislature will
take more members out of joint session
that will be absent to attend town
meetings. I trust the motion Of the
Senator from AroOstook will prevail in
order that the business of the session
may be hurried up. We have just
stopped private legislation because we
are in Il hurry to get through: now let
us hurry up.
The question being put the motion Of
the Senator from AroOstoOk to amend
by inserting 1870 A. NJ in place of
"4.30 r. NJ prevailed.
The order as amended received a
passage. and was sent down for con-
currence.
The following order was received
from the House, "Ordered. the Senate
concurring. that no bill shall be con-
tracted to be paid for by the State by
any committee. or member thereof.
unless the same has been ordered by
both branches of the Legislature.
This shall not apply to the actual,
necessary expenses of the committee it
self in visiting State institutions COM
ing under its charge"
On motion by Mr.. Morse Of Waldo.
the order. together with House amend
ment thereon. was tabled.
ON motion by Mr.. Brown of Kenne-
bee. the Senate nOn-cOncurred with the
House in its reference to the commit
tee on agriculture petition of o. A.
Emery and i6 others of Carmel for
bounty ON crows" and on further mo-
ton by the same senator the same was
placed on file. the committee having al
ready reported.
On motion Of Mr.. Morse of Waldo
"resolve that the State accept the
property known as "Widows island"
which came from the House. received
in that branch under suspension of |
the rules, and referred to the committee |
on Insane hospitals, was tabled.
The order relating to adjournment |
was returned from the House. the SEN |
ate amendment being non-concurred in |
by that branch. and a committee of |
being requested by the |
House.
