60 hack RI those who sent us here and
render j favorable report. We are at a
disadvantage. We come and go, but
these corporation attorneys are here at
every session and their work is never
interrupted
This bill. Senate Bill No. 100, relating to
the Penobscot East Branch Log Driving
Company, it seems to me, does not re-
quire the amendment which l suggest.
The additional privilege which it asks is
simply to maintain additional piers and
booms along certain waters, and al
though in the future some development
might come about so that this territory
might be taken into great reservoir
system, it is so remote that 1 do not feel
like asking that that amendment be put
upon this charter. But when any new
charters come up, even if they are as
mild and as reasonable as this. i think II
would be fair to say to the gentlemen
behind them. IF you want these new
privileges, gentlemen, we are going TO
ask you to accept this clause so that the
State of Maine may sometime take away
these privileges and pay you for every
thing but the franchises.
If understand the position of this
bill, Mr. Speaker, it was tabled pend
ing its passage to be engrossed. J. move
now that this bill, Senate Document No
100, be passed to be engrossed.
The motion prevailed.

Mr.. BAXTER of Portland: Mr. Speak
er, | tabled a measure on it's passage to

was clerical error, and the words bank
