THE AUTOMOBILE BILL.


Without dissenting voice the Mount
Desert island bill, providing for a refer
endum to permit the voters of the four
towns on the island to vote as to whether
or not automobiles, shall be prohibited
from the island, was passed to be en-
crossed in the House Thursday forenoon.
The matter was specially assigned for con-
sideration Thursday forenoon, and when
it was reached Rep. Joy, OF Eden, moved
that it be given its third reading and
passed to be engrossed. No opposition
was manifested, and the motion was passed
By a unanimous vote.
But in the Senate the bill did not find
such smooth roads. When it came up
under special assignment Friday, Senator
Donigan offered an amendment max ing
the provisions of the bill which prohibits
automobiles from Bar Harbor apply to
the Somerset county towns of Scion, Bing-
ham and Moscow and the plantations Of
Caratunk, Forks and West Forks.
Senator Staples moved to table the
whole matter pending an acceptance Of
the amendment and assigned Wednesday,
March 10, for its consideration, saying at
that time he would offer an amendment to
the measure. Mr.. Donigan then withdrew
his amendment, saying he would offer it
next week. The amendment which
Senator Staples will offer will include
several Knox county towns within the
provisions OF the law.
