Resolve in favor Of repairing the

Mr.. Kellogg Of Penobscot presented
Senate Amendment A and moved its
adoption.
Mr.. WYMAN of Washington: Mr..
President, | object to the adoption Of
that amendment, because the bridge
committee have this matter under con
sideratiOn and reported unanimously
for this appropriation. I understand
that the amendment doubles the
amount which the bridge committee
recommended; and for that reason |
am opposed to it,
MR. MACOMBER of Kennebcc: Mr.
President: | have gone over that mat
ter with quite good deal of care. The
highway referred to Is a public high
way over which there is a great deal
of travel entirely outside of the town
in which the road is located.
1t is to all intcnts and purposes a
state road. and it seems to me that
$500 Is n small amount if we are going
to do anything; and I am heartily in
favor of the amendment
Mr.. KELLOGG of Penobscot: MI.
President: I am not going to make
any argument on this matter, but /
would like to have the Senate turn t"
House Document 1903, which is Il bill
/ tabled the other day. | did not know.
at the time I laid it on the table. what
1t called for. A senator came to me
and wanted to know why I tabled it.
! told him that tabled it because this
bill had been reported "ought to pass
on the amount of $500, which would
not amount to anything. and ! after
wards looked up this bill and YOU will
sec that the resolve calls for $4,000 in
1909 and $500 in 1910. to repair "a road
IT. Indian Township. | asked Mr.,
Eaton about that and he said that it
was Il road about six miles long. Now
there is an appropriation of a thous-
and dollars a mile to repair that road,
and yet. in this other resolve | asked
for originally a hundred dollars a mile
to repair this road. I would like to
have you bear this in mind when YOU
come to vote on the adoption of this
amendment. There is a thousand dol
lars a mile for one road and asked
to be allowed hundred dollars Il mile
