Mr.. DANFORTH of SkowheEan: Mr..
Speaker, it seems to me that this bill
ought not to be indefinitely postnoned
until it is carefully considered bv the
members of the House A bill was intro
uuced INTO the last Legislature bv
winch 1t was intended to fix the re-
sponsibilitics between individuals and
LSHting companies in regarI to the
damages that might be done i'm NOV
ihs buildings through street.. That
Dill was not satisfactory and the mat
Ter was referred to this Legislature.

are interested in it. The judiciary com
mrttee has reported unanimously i'm IA
Vor Of this bill. 1t provides that a per
son intending to move building
streets where there are electric
wires shall notify the company own
ing the wires. giving them three days
hotice 10 remove them. and the ex-
rense in regard to removing the wires

1t seems to me that this bill is fair; it
adjusts the damages equitably between
the parties. hope the bill will receive
a passage.
Mr.. MCKINNEY of Bridgton: Mr..
Speaker. telephone and telegraph
in our villages have all the
privileges OF the streets and some

be no bill passed here by which there
will be any remuneration for the COM
panics. They have spoiled our viii

never be willing that they shall have
any remuneration for taking their wires |

Mr.. HORIGAN Of Biddcford: Mr..
Speaker. the committee on towns had |
two hearings on the bill to prevent the |
moving of buildings. Representatives OF |
electric light companies and people who |
make a business of moving buildings |
appeared. 1t was the unanimous opin- |
ion of that committee that that bill |
ought not TO pass, and the opinion of |
the committee was confirmed by the |
House. This bill is the came under a |
different guise. It's object has been once
lecided in the House; and believe that
his bill ought to be indefinitely post
Doned.
Mr.. COBR Of Gardiner: Mr.. Speaker,
think the present law provides that
we notify the companies when we de-
sire to move buildings. and they re-
move the wires and put them back at |
heir own expense; and l think they
ought to. They have tho privilege OF
using our streets and now they come
mere and want to forbid us from NOV
