town of Washburn, Aroostook county
Mr.. SISSON of Island Falls: Mr..
Speaker. l move that this resolve be
recommitted to the Committee on Edu-
cation, and will state my position. The
resolve is not properly worded and is
SO much in error that it cannot be
corrected by the committee on bills in
the third reading, and it is deemed ad-
visable that it be recommitted. There
fore, l so move.
Mr.. HARRINGTON of Augusta: Mr..
Speaker. do l understand that the
committee on bills in the third read
ing have made recommendation that
this bill be recommitted to the com
mittee on education?
The SPEAKER: That is the rec
ommendation.
Mr.. HARRINGTON: Mr.. Speaker, |
do not understand they have any such
power.
The SPEAKER: The report that it
be recommitted has been accepted and
the bill and papers are now in the pos
session Of the House to be acted on.
Mr.. HARRINGTON: Mr.. Speaker if
may be allowed to suggest to the
gentleman from Island Falls, Mr.. Sis
son, that if this is purely a matter Of
amendment, which it cannot be taken
care of by the committee on bills in
the third reading, it can be readily
amended from the floor and save time
involved in the bills going back and
being handled by the Senate thus los
ing day or two on it. | feel that we
ought to be careful; we are losing time
On all these things
The SPEAKER: The Chair would state
that the motion of the gentleman from
Island Falls (Mr. Sisson, while some
what out of order when made, the House
not then having accepted the report, of
course is in order now; and the Chair
recognizes the gentleman from Island
Falls.
Mr. SISSON of Island Falls: Mr..
Speaker ! will say that that resolve is
in such shape that the third reading com
mttee could not correct it without going
beyond its authority. Neither could it
amend it properly from the floor Of the
House without putting in an entirely new
draft Therefore, ! again move that the
bill be recommitted to it's proper COM
mittee
The question being on the motion of
the gentleman from Island Falls. Mr. Sis
son, that the bill be recommitted to the
committee on education,
The motion was agreed to.
