Mr.. PATTANGALL Of Waterville:
Mr.. Speaker. this levies a tax of one
and one-half mills for certain pur-
poses. 1t may be that the creation
of a fire district and the levying Of
that tax is necessary for the peace,
health and public safety of the people
of Maine, but it occurs to me that
if we are going to levy a tax and
are going to attach to it an emergency
clause we give the opportunity to
who desires to fight that tax
to carry to the courts the constitu-
of this emergency joke which
we have been playing all winter. and
possibly depriving ourelves of $60,Ooo
