Mr.. MACOMBER: Mr. President:
This bill relates to additional power
for the Edwards Manufacturing Co.
and it was tabled pending reference to
the committee. Unless there is some
objection on the part Of the Senate,
would move that the rules be suspend
ed and that this bill have it's readings,
and pass to be engrossed at this time
I will say, for the information of the
Senate, that the intent of the bill is to
furnish power to the Edwards Manu-
featuring Co, a large cotton manu-
factory, from the Fort Halifax Power
Co at Winslow. Under the present
law, the Fort Halifax Power Co. can
not run their works and furnish any
current in this city, without the con-
sent of the kennebec Light & Heat
Co, which has the charter and fran
chise rights here. Under the arrange
lncnts entered into between these two
companies. there is no objection on the
part of the Kennebec Light 81 Heat
Co, and the bill simply enables the
Fort Halifax Power Co. to bring in a
thousand kilo watts of power to be
used for manufacturing purposes.

suspension of the rules, and was pass
ed to be engrossed.
