Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1909-03-11

preparation by $4,000 for each year,
ard I hope that the bill will now have
a passage so that the people in the
southern part of the State can stop
these pests from going into the north
err part of the State. Therefore
move its passage.
Mr.. WING of Tingfield: Mr. Speak
CT, / am in favor of the passage of this
resolve but note that the resolve calls
for s35 900 annually. 1t does not say
for the years 1909 and 1910 1t seems to
me that there should be some amend
mert to the bill before we pass it.
Mr.. ADDITION of Leeds: Mr. Speak
err, this is an important matter and
one which has been before this House
before and had a favorable passage
While | am not on the committee | I'M
derstand that the bill has been reduced
as to the amount of the appropria-
ton. and it seems to me that it should
receive {, passage at this time.
cir. REYE,R: Mr.. Speaker, as to the
objection raised by the gentleman from
kingfield, we cannot bind any future
Legislature, ana the bill will simply
mean that the appropriation will run
until the next Legislature. So I hope
that the gentleman from Kingfeld will
not press his objection. I would like to
see the bill so ahead as soon as pos
sible
Mr.. STETSON of Hartford: Mr..
Speaker, this bill was passed to be en-
acted in both branches of the Lcgisla
ture and went to the Governor car
ryins an appropriation of $4,000 a
tbn Cnvnrnnr if ha cl,
to the Senate and reduced it to So, 900
for each year. That is the way it
stands as | understand it.
Mr.. WING of Auburn: Mr.. Speaker,
I would like to inquire If the gentleman
is asking us to pass this bill over the
veto of the Governor?
MIR. STETSON: I am not. T was sim
ply stating that this Dill had been
passed by both Houses and that it
went to the Governor and that he
thought the appropriation was too
much and reduced it to $4,000 d year;
and that is the way it comes before the
House today.
IIr MOORE OF Saco: Mr.. Speaker,
there seems to be a good deal of doubt
in the minds of the members as to
what this bill is, and I ask to have it
read by the clerk
The clerk read the bill
Mr. WING; of Kingfeld: Mr.. Speak
er. T have an amendment which I wish
to offer.
The SPEAKER: The Chair would
state that the bill is not now in ar
state. If the House desires
to consider the amendment it will be
nn tn ci1p,, t1p vote whore
by the bill was passed to be engrossed.
Mr. BEYER: Mr.. Speaker, | under
stand that the State will not allow
towns to fight the Gypsy moth. The
towns can handle the broWn-tailed
moth but the Gypsy moth is . different
Now several towns have
made an appropriation on the expecta-
tion of the passage of this bill 1t is
a very important matter. Any delay
of this bill will be quite dangerous and
I hope that a motion to reconsider its
passage to be cngrOssed will not pre-
vail
Mr.. SMITH of Biddeford: Mr.. Speak
or I hope the gentlemen of the House
will understand what we are contend
ing with in the southern part of the
state We are overrun with the brown
tall,d moth and if it is not stopped
in the south the whole of this state
Will be pvcrrun with the brown tailed
moth rs we are. Give us the money
with which to stop them there so they
Will not spread any farther cast. |
don't Know what it will cost but pass
this bill without delay

consider the vote whereby the bill was
passed to be cngrossed.
The motion was lost.
Mr. Boyer of Portland moved the
previous question.
The motion was agreed TO-
The question being. Shall the main
question be now put?
1t was agreed to.
The question being, shall the bill pass

Til" yeas and nays were called.
