| The SFEAkER. The Chair wishes
| 10 STAT that because the committees
lave he. ordered to report finally
| OF the sixteenth, no bills are now be-
f ng referred to committees, however,
/ On tt!s matter the Chair awaits the
pleasure If the House.
Nj GREENLEAF': Mr.. Speaker,
! this hill was agreed to be sent to me
| some time ago. l am not the au-
Ithor or franer of the bill, and I sug-
|gested to the attorney who presented
II. to M that it might be too late to
BE received and referred to commit
ftee but l said that l would present
|ihe matter before the House and the
Responsibility will lay with the House
bud not with me.
The Question being whether the rules
tould h. suspended and the bill be
receyed out OF order at this time.
Mr. Hanson of Sanford moved that
f,he Eo.sr decline to receive the Dill
Mr. Greenleaf seconded the motion.
Mr. PIERCE of Houlton: Mr.. Speak
Ter, az ! understand the matter, 1 10
k0t think the House has any right
|iO take such action in this matter.
lt seems - me that the matter may
be received and referred TO the next
legislature which is the customary
procedure. although this is another
way Of arriving at the same result.
Mr. HIGGINS of Brewer: Mr.. SPEAK
Ter, ! dc not agree with the gentle
|nan from Houlton, Mr.. Pierce, that
Re should refer this matter 10 tHe
teXt legislature. 1t seems to me we
are amply able to take care OF az
matters that are presented before TINS
legislature. and let us dispose OF inns
matter here and now.
The SPEAKER: Does the Chair I'M
lersjand that the gentleman from
Houlton. Mr.. PIERCE raises the point
/: order that the House can not re-
fuse 10 receive a bill at this time?
M PIERCE. MIR. Speaker. I WOULD
De perfectly willing to take the sus-
gestion Of the gentleman from Brew
er Mr.. Higgins, to the effect tnaI
ne receive the measure and vote to
indefinitely postpone it.
Mr.. HIGGINS: Mr.. Speaker, tnat
suggestion is entirely agreeable to me.
as long as we attend to it at this
time
Nh. THOMBS of Lincoln; MI.
Speaker | only wish to say that IN
view of the fact that the matter OF
salaries and fees relating to CLERK
TIRE is being temporarily held up anu
It's final passage is somewhat in DOUBT,
becomes incumbent upon me to ask
'Ais House to receive three or IouF
Public resolves relating to clerk nlEe
N cur county. and l understood last
light from some gentleman VINO hau
served on that committee that unless
mat act does finally pass this legisia-
,Cre IL will necessitate something ike
aghty of such measures being CONSUL
He'd here. I merely suggest that
would not like to have any acton tah-
n upon this matter this morning
'hch would preclude me from pre-
fnlNg these matters of which l speak
C. the House at a later date.
The SPEAKER: The Chair will state
nat no action which We take on any par
ocular matter can be construed as any
PRECEDENT on any other matter. the
mar will rule pro forma that the point
u order raised by the gentleman from
1ollton, Mr., Pierce. is well taken.
Mr.. Hanson of Sanford withdraw his
notion 10 the effect that the House de-
'!he to receive this bill.
Oh further motion by Mr.. Hanson the
III was indefinitely postponed.
Inc SPEAKER: The Chair lays before
Ae House another matter. being bill, An
NJ IN relation to boards Of registration
;. voters. the same having been present
