House Document No. 232, AN Act TO
prohibit the use of automobiles in the
towns of Eden Mount Desert fremont
and Southwest Harbor, on the Island
OF Mount Desert was taken from the
table; the pending question being upon
the acceptance of report.
Mr.. STAPLES:-Mr President: I
had intended to make some remarks
upon this bill; but at this time desire
only to state my position that Il record
may be made of how | stand upon this
important question. The bill has the
referendum connected with it by which
the Town of Eden may reject or ratify
it.
do not like automobiles will adj
nit that. / wish there was not one in
the State of Maine nor ever would be,
because we have SO much trouble with
those vehicles in our country towns:
but l am aware that they have come
to stay in the State of Maine. | am
aware that they are recognized by the
law as public conVeyances. | am
aware that the highways Of that, and
every other town, are public highways;
and for that reason / do not believe
that we have any constitutional right
to pass any such bill. | believe that /
have as good right to drive in the
Town of Eden with an automobile as /
have to drive with my horse and
carriage. and that the same law applies:
and I doubt very much whether yol
can prohibit them from going into that
town, however many acts you may pass
in this Legislature. I am aware that
the matter is referred to the town of
Eden for that town to vote upon it, Dat
I am conscious of another thing. that
the poor men of Bar Harbor would not
stand much show against the power
