move the passage of the amendment

$4,000 or over, and there is only one

crossed as amended, and sent down
for concurrence.
Mr.. COLE of York: Mr.. President.
I move that lie on the table and be
| taken up tomorrow morning.
Mr.. FIAHERTY Of Cumberland. /
will tell the Senator from York that
l introduced this measure, and the
sanitary engineers of Portland were
behind it. and / introduced the wrong
bill and the bill that I should have
| introduced included this, dwelling and
apartment houses. but I am willing
to leave it on the table to look into it.
It was my mistake in introducing the
wrong bill.
Mr.. COLE: That explains the mat
| ter. The representatives Of the En-
gineers' Union of Portland appeared
before US, and there was no opposi-
ton, and it was a unanimous report,
and I simply wondered whether 1t was
| unjust to those people who appeared
to allow the amendment to go
through.
