TWO readings at the present time

MIR. PLUMMER of Lisbon: Mr..
Speaker, on general principles the OBJ
lection to this resolve seems to be
the same as to the other which we
Just refused to receive. 1t may be a
very worthy proposition; don't know
anything about that, but the point is
that It is too late IN the session for
US to consider this matter. and
trust that the House will not receive
the resolve
Mr.. BESSIE Of Clinton: Mr.. Speak
er, 7 wish to say that this resolve
came before the committee and the
committee voted that 1t fought not to
pass" Mt. Desert Island has valua-
ton Of something over six million dol
lars and if they want to free the
bridge let them free it; I am not in
favor of receiving the resolve.
MIR. MORRISON Of Eden: Mr..
Speaker, this bridge is situated en-
tirely in the town Of Trenton, and
that is very poor town. and If this
bridge should at any time be thrown
upon that town they would be unable
to repair it. The number of polls in
tina town is l01: the tax rate is per
cent: tine total valuation is less than
$4,000: there is no part Of the bridge
in any town on Mt. Desert Island
and it is situated entirely in the town
Of Trenton.
