| Mr.. STAPLES. of Knox: Mr.. Presi
dent: This bill is what is called re
bate bill 1t is purely ana simply
matter of taxation, whether we sha
rebate to the b. & A. road. providin
they build the Allegash branch. I wi
say, to make myself understood: Thi
till was referred to the committee o.
Railroads ana Expresses. IT is purel
and simply matter of taxation.
move that the Senate non-concur wit
the House in it's reference to the com
n,ittee on Railroads and Expresses, an
that it be referred to the committee n
Taxation.
| Mr.. WHEELER of Cumberland: NJ.
President: 1t is true. as the senate
from Knox county suggests. that tn
! bill refers to a rebate of taxes for tn
| Bangor and AroostOok Railway. 1t
not a bill granting any charter priv
| Ii ges to the railroad; but l do not IN
dcrstand that the committee on Taxa
| ton has anything to do with matter
except those which relate to the as
sessment of taxes. This bill does no
propose to assess any taxes on an
propcrty. 1t is merely to determln
whether the Senate. after taxes nav
been collected, will grant rebate
those taxes; in other words, 1t is
question of whether the State Will pa
back to the Bangor and Aroostool
Railroad money which they have frs
paid to the State in taxes. 1t seems L
me that the bill has properly been re
ferred to the committee on Railroad
and Expresses.
Mr.. STAPLES: Mr.. President, .
course 1 take this action that the pape
may take its proper course. You vii
see by reading the bill that it is, wheth
or we snail extend in fact rebate.-tha
in 20 years the B. & A. road mas a.
most run out-whether they. until w
shall have a rebate from that road the.
are now occupying-those are IN
words of the bill-providing they puii'
