The 18th MAINE LEGISLATURE.
Stenograpbic Reports Of Yesterdays Sessions Of
4. The Senate and House of Representatives.

President, | have just heard a discus
sion in relation to this order. As
understand it, it is an increase of 81
for every bill introduced. Is that cor
rect?
The PRESIDENT: That is correct
if the Chair understands it,
| Mr.. MOREY: Mr.. President thai
increases by considerable the printing
bill. There are many matters that
come in here, of course where the
supply of so copies is not adequate
but | would like to be informed if it
is necessary that all bills should re-
ce1ve the amount of go additional Is
| the demand in all matters such as to
| call for $50 extra copies more than
We have ever had before? If it is not,
| it seems to me it would be unwise,
except when occasion would require it,
with a bill coming up of more than
passing interest. But unless there is
a general demand for all bills in ex-
cess eff the number printed, of which
| have not been informed it seems to
be it would be unwise to increase the
general amount at this time.
Mr.. ALLEN: Mr. President,
would say for the benefit of the sena-
tor that | am unable to give the in
formation as to just what number
would be called for above the supply
It the present time, but it ocufrs to
me that printing the extra number of
bills, as ordered in several cases,
! would pretty nearly off set the print
ing of the whole list. Adding 250 TO
The first order, as | understand the
usual custom, would be but a small
expense, while if we order The secre-
tary to secure extra copies, it would
x,sssssdoulat equal The printing of all the
-BfIts every day.
And anothe, thing, when we have
calls for bills and the officials notify
us that we must wait for some to be
printed. we cannot supply our con-
stituency very quickly / hope the
gentleman vii rot oppose the passage
Of the order.
Mr.. MOREY: Mr.. President. |
would like to ask, unless there is some
immediate hurry for this, that when
We nexs meet. MONDAY afternoon, that
the secretary of the Senate furnish US
with the infora nation which 1t seems 10
be proper to ask for, whether or not
there is a necessity for this increase
along the whole line, and whether tn
extra copies that may be printed now
and then would equal this Increase !
would ask that the order he on the ia
BILE unless this information can be Civ
en- now.
Mr.. ALLEN: Mr.. President, l can
give the senator little information
There are less than twenty-slX doeu-
ments left for public distribution att
or the committees ana departments are
taken care of under the joint rules.
would say to the gentleman from
Androscoggin that this is no pet meas
ure Of nv own. | introduced il by
request of the secretary of the Sen
ate. who is pretty well informed.
Mr.. COLE of York: Mr. President.
that order. taken in connection with
the order introduced by Senator Her
sev. would neeessitate the printing OF
all private and special bills that may
come in. Would it not be better, per
haps. to have the order amended i'll
some way and take effect only as 10
bills under the general law that there
is need of printing ard not TO llttle
private bill that is only of local IN
terest. Provided this order should re-
eeive a passage in the House, it seems
TO me there is an added expense that
might be saved besides the added
space required to file the documents,
and if they are not to be distributed
except in the localities especially in
terested, there is no need of going 10
the expense OF printing all the private
bills.
on motion by Mr.. Morey the order
was tabled and especially assigned for
next Monday, at i.30 o'clock, in the
afternoon.

of the clerk, deputy and assistant
clerks of Cumberland county, came

red To the Cumberland County Delega-

berland, the Senate voted to non con
cur with the action of the House il

motion by the same senator, the bill
