formed, this has the united support
of the people Of Bar Harbor, and it
is unanimous desire on their part
that this change should be made. Ow-
ing to the confusion incident upon
the work Of this Legislature, it hap
pened that the matter was overlook
ed and that neither the proponents
nor the opponents appeared before the
committee, and for that reason the
only thing the committee felt justi-
fled III doing was TO return an uufa-
Norable report, which they did Now
| am informed by members of the iu-
dietary committee that had any per-
son appeared in favor of this matter
that they would have had no objec-
ton TO the legislation. It is for this
reason that I move at this time that
we reconsider this matter The meas
ure can then be laid upon the table
until Tuesday of next week

MI MORRISON of Eden: Mr..
Speaker, I simply wish to. state that
under the present law in the town of
Eden we list our officers at the time
of election as first, second. third. etc
selectinen. We do not want to list
them IN that way. For instance, if
there are three gentlemen in the town
OF Eden running for the Office of Sc
iectmen, we consider that the best
men IN that town may run all for tb,.
position of first sclectman. The oh
Ject OF this is that We would ONLY he
able TO vote for one Of those three. If
We change this law and list them al
phabetcally, then we would vote for
al three of those gentlemen thereby
securing the best men for the posi-
tlon' and that is why We wish to
change this law. and have an oppor-
tunity to list them alphabeticaliv.
