MAINE LEGISLATURE.
Continued from Page Nine.)
to 1ne that some OF lnese resolves are
ways and bridges resolves. They are
not all pauper resolves. The gentle
man from Augusta did not mention
House Resolve No. 297. That is no.
of that class but it is not accompanied
by Il statement of facts and l pre-
sumo a motion to table would be in
order as to that.
Mr.. WILLIAMSON: In regard to
Resolve 297 | understand that is in
favor Of the town of Buxton to rcim-
burse them for tax that they over
paid by some clerical error. 1t is
similar to a case where We had given
a man a ten dollar bill too much. I
understand that ought to lie on the
table and be considered separately.
The SPEAKER: Is there any OBJ
jections to considering these resolves
together?
Mr.. PETERS. Mr.. Speaker. the
Chair inquiries whether there is any
objection to considering these all to-
gether. There is none So far as l
am concerned, if the vote is to be ta
ken by a viva voce vote. If it is to
be taken by the yeas and nays l de-
sire to vote against some of these
and in favor of some others: but |
presume it will not be necessary to
take yea and nay vote.
Mr.. HERSEY of Houlton: Mr..
Speaker. think if we are going to
vote on these together. that the re-
solve for solid and liquid refreshments
should be included in that vote.
Mr.. WILLIAMSON: MIR. Speaker.
l made that motion in line with the
suggestion with the gentleman from
Yarmouth. I have no objection to
considering them separately or COL
lectively. The gentleman from Houl-
ION especially requested that we should
debate the ballot law this forenoon,
and if the House is of one mind we
might save considerable time by tax
ing these up together.
Mr. DAVIES: Mr.. Speaker the gen.
tleman is mistaken in his supposition
of what | intended to convey. My
idea was this. that if the resolve which
he put before the House to be re-
ferred to the next Legislature was
to be taken on voice vote, there
might be included in it safely the
next one which was a resolve in aid
of the city of Bddeford; but 1 by
no means intended to give the impress
sion that other resolves were to be
included
Mr.. POLLARD of Solon: Mr.. Speak
er. | move that Resolve No. AIS, in
favor of the counties of kennehec and
Somerset. be included in the motion.
Mr.. WILLIAMSON: Mr.. Speaker,
as / understand it, the State gave the
counties something like $4,000 with
which to build that bridge. and il
the towns all over the State are to
be cut down l guess the counties of
Kennebec and Somerset can stand that
reduction, which l think is $400.
The SPEAKER: Is there any OBJ
lection on the part of the House to
considering the resolves together? If
not. as many as are in favor of the
motion that the resolves be referred to
the next Legislature will say aye.
The molten was agreed to.
Mr.. WILSON of Auburn: Mr.. Speak
er. if in order ] move that the gen.
teman from Houlton have the floor
publican caucus-the matter in regard
to the ballot question.
Mr. PATTANGALL. Mr.. Speaker.
the House has before it several more
resolves of a like nature with those
on which the House has voted. 1t
seems as though it would be proper
to take those matters up at the pres
ent time and dispose of them. I move
to take from the table House Resolve
IS and that it be referred to the next
Legislature.
The motion was agreed TO.
ON motion by Mr. Pattangall. House
Resolve 292 was referred to the next

casset, House Resolve 465. was laid

On motion of the same gentleman
