Mr.. COLE Of York: Mr.. President, in

The PRESIDENT: You have voted to
concur with the House in accepting the
report Of the conference committee. And
we have adopted their suggestion, which
Is to refer the bill to the judiciary COM
mittee.
Mr.. COLE, Mr.. President, what is the
need Of referring this bill to the COM
mittee7 1t has been to the committee
twice and has been reported out in a
new draft 1t seems to me If l explained
this matter it might go right along. 1t
is simply this: A person who goes to a
mans farm under a contract with the
man to dig a well shall have a lien on
the land the same as the man who goes
on land to do landscape gardening or
the land. or putting out trees
or any other improvement. and liens can
only be placed on the land where there
Is specific contract. For instance, If a
man comes to you and makes a contract
with you to drive a well-he does not
make a contract to furnish water, but to
drive a well at say IS a foot.
The PRESIDENT: The present situa.
ton Of this matter is to report this bill
to your committee. You can report it
back ought to pass.
