Mr.. PATTANGALL of Watcrvillc
Mr.. Speaker, | don't know but the best
solution of all these matters may be
tt Indefinitely postpone them. but l
would like to have the House know
| what it is doing when il does it. The
fishing industry has been a sort of joke
around here this winter, but as a mat
ter of fact, one county in this State
shipped out last year almost $4,000, 900
worth OF sardines, end if anything is
done to interfere in any way with that
industry it is n pretty serious matter
to $1,000 people down in the county OF
/ Washington. | have not had any op-
pnrtunity to look over these various
bills, and it may be as l say that the
best thing to do would be to indefi-
nitely postpone them all and get along
under the existing laws, but the House
ought to take time enough to look
into the bills and see what ii is vot-
Jag upon. 1t is now pretty late and we
have been having a pretty good tine
this forenoon, and l would suggest
that no harm could result if this mat
ter should go over until tomorrow
when we have no appropriations to
,
| who are interested in a business way
In one of the greatest industries that
| Maine has got might have an oppor-
tunity to confer together and see what
would he left after they indefinitely
postponed the bills which are now be-
fore the House: and 1 move that the
| matter be tabled until tomorrow.
Tie motion was agreed to.
On motion by MIR. Stetson of Lewis
| ton the rules We're suspended and that
| gentleman introduced resolve in favor
| Of Harry Stetson, and OH further mo-
| tion by the same gentleman the re-
| solve was referred to the committee on
| appropriations. and financial affairs.
