suspension Of the rules. and passed to
be engrossed without reference to a
committee.

make this matter clear. The legisla-
ture granted the town Of Wiscasset a
charter to construct a system of water
works. That charter expires now. AT
the last town meeting, 1t was voted to
commence work and to carry it to COM

therefore make the motion above re-

The motion prevailed; the bill took
its two several readings and was pass
