Resolve providing for an appropri-
alton fer the protection Of trees and
shrubs from the Introduction and raw
ages Of dangerous insects and diseases
Mr. PATTANGALL of Waterville: Mr..
Speaker, ] would like to offer an amend
ment to this resolve, and In doing SO I
would call the attention of the House
to one matter connected with 1t. This Is
a resolve for an appropriation for the
protection of trees and shrubs from the
Introduction and ravages of dangerous
insects and diseases, and 1t contains an
emergency clause. Now l understand
that 1t Is necessary for tho 1911 appro-
priation to be made under the emergency
clause because the money must be made
Immediately available to do any good to
the department l am so Informed by ,hc
gentleman in charge of that work. But
in lines 70 and q Is inserted the appro-
priation for 1912 There cannot be any
possible excuse for carrying the 1912 ap-
preparation under the emergency clause,
because bills becoming law on July first
will render money just as easily avail
IN,
now. Whether the amount appropriated
Is right or not. don't know, and don't
pretend to say anything about that. The
simple point I want to make to the
House is that it would be an absurd thing.
and to my mind a wrong thing, to
pass under the emergency clause re-
solve which would not DO expended In
any event until a year from now. There
fore l offer the following amendment:
Strike out the words annually for the
years 1911 and 1912 in the Goth and 2lst
lines and substitute In their place the
words for the year 1911 That would
leave the 1872 appropriation to be made
In the regular way.
Mr.. CHASE of York: M. Speaker, l
would like to inquire whether that Is 60
1912?
The SPEAKER: The chair would rule
that 1t would require the introduction Of
a new resolve for the year 1912.
Mr.. CHASE: Whether We have got to
have a suspension of the rule or go be-
yond our limit in order to introduce that
other resolve?
The SPEAKER: No, because It is of
public nature and is in order at any time
during the session of the Legislature.
The question being on the adoption OF
the amendment,
The amendment was adopted
The resolve was then read a second
time and was passed to be engrossed as
amended.

Mr.. GOODWIN of Biddeford: Mr..

out of order, and will briefly state
the reason. On the 26th of January |
PRESENTED a bill entitled An Act addi-
tional to Chapter as of the Revised
Statutes relating to savings banks, to
provide for the thorough auditing Of
the liabilities as we'll as the assets. On
inc Ziti, tiiuI OH having Sollc W lht
Senate, was tabled for printing by
Senator NoyeS of Kennebec. I after
wards made a motion that 1t be re-
called. it having been assigned to the
committee on judiciary, and that it be
referred to the committee on banks
and banking, where 1t should have
been assigned in the first place. 1t evil
IDENTIFY got back to the judiciary COM
mittee and the record Of the clerk
there shows that 1t was reassigned to
the committee on banks and banking in
accordance with the vote of the House.
The clerk of that committee says that
he delivered it to the messenger. ana
the messenger says he brought 1t into
this House and dropped ii into box
that had d hole in the top of it pre-
sumo 1t was that box there-and from
that moment to this time nobody has
seen or heard anything of this bill. 1t

appearance of Charlie Ross Is no more
mysterious; and it cannot be found.
Now another bill has been introduced
in the Senate and has been sent to this
House for concurrence and tabled
which IS on similar lines; and I would
like to have unanimous consent of the
