Orders Of the Day.

Orders Of the Day.
Mr.. Plummer of AnIroscoggin moved
| to reconsider the vote whereby the bill
| relating to the coditication of the Sea
and Shore Fisheries Laws was recon-
mitted.
The PRESIDENTS: The Chair will in
luire if the Senator voted with the ma
jority in its recOmmitment?
Mr.. PLUMBER: 1 did
Mr.. UPPER of Lincoln: Mr.. Presi-
dent: This matter was discussed yes
| terday and Il vote taken. | suppose If
the vote is to be recOns:dered, it is open
| for discussion again. This is matter
that came before the Fisheries COM
| mittee, and instead of notice being Civ
en- for hearing it was acted upon the
| same day that it reached the commit
| tee. The Chairman of the Fisheries
| Committee, Mr.. Shackford, stated to
| this Senate yesterday that. when that
| committee acted upon this bill, he sup
posed that notice mad been given. The
| Chairman of the committee knew
| nothing about this being opposed; so,
| without notice, so far aS | am able to
learn, there was but one member of
the Fisheries committee but did know
! that that notice had been given. Now
this act is to revise, correct, codify and
compile the Shore Fisheries Laws of
| the State. 1t is for the Commissioner to
| do this who shall recommend necessary
and proper changes. repeats and
amendments. Now, it seems to me that
if the Commissioner We're to be ap-
| pointed to do this work, that it should
have been done earlier in the session.
| The people who introduced this bill
| must have known before the eighth
week in the session, if they wanted
these laws revised-if it was necessary
| to have general revision. The laws
were revised in 1901 by q commissioner
appointed by the Legislature. and $500
| vas appropriated by the State for the
| purpose of that revision. Two years
| ago the whole statutes OF the State
| were revised, including these fisheries
| laws. There are but 81 sections in this
chapter, think. 1t seems to me if any
changes were necessary. the Commits
sioner could easily have pointed out
those changes, and could have recon-
rended those changes to the commit
| tee on fisheries, and the committee
could have attended to all the changes
| that were necessary in those 81 sec
tons of the statute. l hope that the
motion to reconsider will not prevail.
| Mr.. PUMMF,R: Mr.. President,
want to say that l did this at the re-
| quest of a Senator who could not be
here yesterday; and we hardly had a
| quorum yesterday when the matter
| was taken up; and l think the matter
| should be laid upon the table until next
| Tuesday.
| The question being put upon the mo-
ton to reconsider. the motion prevail
ed, II senators voting in the affirma-
| tive and five i'm the negative.
On motion by Mr.. Plummer of And
roscoggin, the report and bill were
tabled and Tuesday next assigned for
| consdera ton.
Mr.. PUTNAM of Arocstook: Mr.
| President, by agreement with the
| Senator from Hancock. I move to take

solve authorizing the compilation and
publication Of the Insurance laws of
