Journal of previous session read and
| approved.
Papers from the House disposed of
/ in concurrence.
The PRESIDENT: The Senate order
relating to An Act concerning the In
! dustrial Banks Is. d. 81 which was
passed in the Senate and sent to the
| House for concurrence has been re-
/ turned from that body. The House
/ non-concurred with the action of the
I Senate and adopted House Amendment
y.
Mr.. DEERING of York: Mr.. Presi-
] dent, | understood you to say that the
! House nom concurred with the Senate.
/ 1t seems to me that they must have
passed the order in order to amend 1t
J in the House. Is that not so?
( The PRESIDENT: They simply nom
concurred with the Senate in the pas
sage of the order and substituted for
the order the following amendment:
Amend by striking out the words and
referred to the joint standing commit
tee on banks and banking in the sixth
and seventh lines thereof"
The part struck off would be this:
land referred to the joint standing
committee on banks and banking" in
the sixth and seventh lines, simply re-
calling the bill from the committee on
legal affairs and placing il before the
Senate and House.
Mr.. DEERING: Mr.. President. my
point was that l do not understand
that the House could amend anything
they did not pass themselves. We sent
an order to them which we had passed,
. and 1t seems to me that they must
/ have passed that order in order to
amend it. l may be wrong in regard
! to the rules, but that is my impression.
! Mr.. DAVIES of Cumberland: Mr..
/ President, my impression is that the
! Chair stated the House had substitute
I ed a so-called amendment to the order.
! Am ] right?
The PRESIDENT: They amended by
! striking out the last part of the order.
As far as the Chair can gather the or
der was read and passed as amended
! by the House, by House Amendment A,
| and sent to the Senate for concurrence.
/ The order is as follows:
Ordered. the House concurring. that
| bill, An Act concerning Industrial
! Banks, defining same and providing for
1 their incorporation. powers, supervi-
7 sion and control. (Senate Bill No. 81
/ now in the hands of the joint standing
committee on legal affairs, be recalled
! from that committee and referred to
the joint standing committee on banks
and banking"
They passed that much of the order,
simply TO recall it from the committee.
/ Mr. DAVIES: Mr.. President, and
/ the present status is that it is now laid
before the Senate the same as under
the original action.
The PRESIDENT: Yes. if the Sen
ate concurs in the adoption of House
Amendment A.
Mr.. BANTER Of Sagadahoc: Mr..
President, l move that the Senate re-
