Orders Of the Day.
On motion by Mr.. Chick of kenne-
bee, it was
| Ordered that the use of the Senate
Chamber be granted to the committee
on inland fisheries and game, Wednes-
dfy, February IS, at two o'clock in the
afternoon.
The PRESIDENT; The Chair might
suggest that before too many OF these
orders come in, it would be well
enough to confer with the secretary as
to whether the Senate Chamber is en-
gagged or not for committee hearings
There seems to be quite a demand Tor
| ii these latter days.
The Chair will state that the leglsla-
tive committees really are the machln-
erv which furnishes the grlst for the
legislative bodies to grind. and 1t is
very essential, particularly at this
time. unless we expect to have tre-
mendous congestion at the last minute,
that the committees report as eX-
neditiouslv as possible during these
DAYS OF course everybody who has
been in the LEGISLATURE knows that the
last week. why it is almost like sluicing
logs through a dam, and some meri-
torious bills get no CONSIDERATION ana
sometimes those that are without
merit sip through ~ Wy SeiSio a. mss
That can be ohviated by the commit
ties turning out their work at the pres
ent time so as to make more uniform
flow OF legislation. And the Chair
earnestly hopes, in order that we may
make satisfactory progress and that
we may give satisfaction to the people
of the State Of Maine, that the COM
mittees will expedite their work as
much as is reasonable.
On motion BY Mr.. Peacock of Wash
ington,
Adjourned.
