On motion of Mr.. Peters of Ellsworth
Bill. An Act relating to the care and

Mr.. Peters offered House amendment r.
| to amend by striking out all after the
word resolved" and by inserting the fol
/ lowing words, that the Governor and
Council are hereby authorized to use from
the uneXpended balance in the treasury
| such sums as they may deem necessary
! for the repair of bridges owned by tn,
State and for the repair of highways on
public lands"
| Mr. PETERS,: i will say a word Of ex-
PLANTATION, Mr.. Speaker, and that is that
i the resolve without the amendment would
appear to nullify the policy of Tie House
in regard to the appropriation for ways
and bridges, and would look like a gener-
al appropriation bill authorizing the eX-
penditurc without limit or without speci-
hcation as to the locality by the Governor
ana Council of any money available for
any bridge or any highway in the state,
whether it be public or private. Now. OF
course there may be some merit In the
proposition, and of course there 1t. that
1 the state should have authority to spend
tsome money on State bridges and on
ftpads on State lands. This amendment is
oSered for the purpose of reducing the
auAOrity for the expenditure of money
limiting ii to the State bridges and roads
on site lands.
The amendment was adopted
