the four senators from Cumberland are
in entire accord on this matter. We do
not take sides on any personal ques-
tons between the representative from
Yarmouth and his townspeople. We
simply think this is wise amendment
to make to this bill. The river is in
our county and the four senators from
Cumberland agree, and I should not
suppose that the senators from other
counties would care to go against the
unanimous wishes Of our delegation. 1t
| is not large matter, but being in ac-
cord in Cumberland county, we would
like to see it go the right way.
Mr.. REYNOLDS of Kennebec: Mr.
President: will admit it is bad bust
ness to interfere with the Portland or
the Cumberland delegation. This bill
! was thrashed out two afternoons be-
fore our committee. I heard the evil
dence before the committee. We post
pOned it for q week. The other side
came and they had a regular love feast
at the last of it and agreed to this bill
I do not see what has como up within
the last two days to cause so much
argument on this matter. 1t seems to
Inc that the report of the committee
should be sustained.
The question being put, the yeas and
nays were ordered, and the vote being
had thereon resulted as follows: Those
voting yea We're: Messrs. Baxter,
Boynton, Gowell, Kellogg, Looney,
Shaw. Warren, Wheeler (S). Those
| voting nay were: Messrs. Hamilton,
Hastings, Macomber, Milliken, Minott,
Osgood, Reynolds, Staples, Wyman
G).
So the motion was lost
Mr.. Looney of Cumberland thereupon
| moved that the bill be put upon it's
passage to be enacted.
The motion prevailed and the bill
was passed to be enacted.

tirely from his gifts. The fund now
amounts to about s6.000.o 900 and many
