Mr. RICHARDSON of Penobscot: MIR
President, l wish to say Just a word or
| this matter SC, that the senator's can vote
| ntelligently.
The appropriation covers as a large
| part of the amount carried, interest OF
certain funds belonging to the tribe
which are held in trust by the STATE
treasurer. The tribe receives interest OF
| those funds. 1t has been the custom for
years to pay this interest to the tribe
in monthly instalihents. Furthermore
another large item of this appropriation
is for shore rentals that have been in
the hands of the treasurer since last
July. These funds should have been paid
TO the tribe some time before. or certain
portions of them. Then there are certain
appropriations here which are covered
by very old treaties, and if the tribe
does not receive these funds, they will
be without money during a large portion
of the first part of the year. We ali
know that these people are very ire
sponsble, and that count of the money,
and it will work a great hardship oil
them If it is not promptly paid.
This resolve carrying an emergency
clause, required Il two-thirds vote of all
the members of the Senate.
rising vote was taken and % sena-
tors having voted in favor of its final
passage, the resolve was finally passed.
