men of the House, this resolve calls for
an amount of money to be paid to the
Great Northern Paper Company because
of some expense incurred by that CON-
pany in the construction of a bridge.
This bridge was constructed under the
direction of the Highway Commission of
Maine. -Four thousand dollars OF the
money necessary for the construction OF
this bridge was raised by appropriation
by the State. of Maine on the condition
that the Great Northern would raise six
thousand dollars. of which one hundred
and sixty dollars was returned to the
Great Northern Company. Now, this
road or bridge is not part of the high
way system OF Maine, and my authority
for saying that is the highway commits
sioners Of Maine; It is matter that con-
venes the Great Northern, and il is not
part Of our business to pay this addi-
tional amount. The State paid 1900 and
that is more than the citizens of the
State Of Maine will receive in benefit
therefor in long time. This 5000 appro-
prtation If divided among the small
towns who are asking for assistance in
the building Of their roads. and which
they are not liable to receive, would be
a great benefit to them, and 1t seems TO
me that this matter had better be indefi.
nitely postponed.
The SPEAKER pro TEN: The Chair
would suggest that under the rules a mo-
ton to table would not be debatable.
The Chair has heard two motions neither
of which has been seconded.
Mr.. Holt OF Skowhegan seconded the
motion OF the gentleman from Brewer,
Mr.. Higgins.
Mr.. Roberts Of Portland seconded the
motion of the gentleman, from Hampden,
Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. HIGGINS: Mr.. Speaker. does not
the motion to lay upon the table have
precedence over the motion to indefinitely
postpone?
The SPEAKER pro tenn: The Chair is
inclined to rule that it does.
Mr.. HIGGINS: Mr.. Speaker, I there
fore move that the bill be laid upon the
table and be specially assigned for con-
sideration on Tuesday of next week.
The motion was agreed to.
