made by the committee on ways and

to the consideration Of these matters,
may have the favorable considera-

Mr.. PEACOCK: Mr.. President. !
move that the acts be returned to the
Governor.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr.. BUTLER: Doubted.
Mr.. DEERING: Mr.. President, II
seems to me that we are arriving at
some particular method Of obtaining
money for special resolves that are
to be reported by the ways and
absent this morning I think six or
seven senators who are vitality in.
terested in this particular matter
two form York are not here. and
when anything as important this
comes up I really want to consult
the two men from York county who
are here with me. and I do not like
to ask for any particular delay. but
it seems to me necessary or advisable
in this matter to wait until everybody
il here.
would like to ask the senator
from Washington. Senator Peacock.
through the chair. if he would OBJ.
ject to laying this bill on the table
until next Tuesday SO that we may
all be present?
Mr.. PEACOCK: I have no objection
The only object l had in desiring to
have it returned to the Governor at
the present time was that we would
know what kind Of a resolve to pre-.
pare to cover these blanket resolves
that we propose to report. whether II
should be an appropriation provided
for BY this act. or whether 1t should
be an appropriation to be assessed on
the State. OF course I am willing.
but as long as this is delayed 1t may
delay the adjournment Of the session.
Mr.. DEERING: will say that I
will not make the motion if the SEN
ator objects to 1t.
Mr.. PEACOCK: desire to accomo-
date the senator and will move to
lay the matter on the table.
Mr.. DAVIES: May we not have II
assigned for some day next week?
do not think the senator from York
desires to lay the matter over in-
definitely.
MIR. DEERING: Not at all. said
il the Senator from Washington oh.
jects to it l would not make the mo.
ton.
The PRESIDENT: Does the sen
ator desire to withdraw his motion
On motion by MIR. Peacock the vote
whereby the bill was to be returend
to the Governor was reconsidered
and on further motion by the same
senator the bill was tabled and was
assigned for consideration next Tues.
day.
The PRESIDENT: The Chair would
call the attention of the Senate to
two emergency measures: An Act to
authorize the city of Oldtown to raise
money for highway purposes by pop.
ular vote. and An Act to amend an
act entitled An Act to incorporate
the city of Oldtown.
Perhaps it would be we'll for the
Chair to state that these two bills
were made emergency measures on
account of the fact that it seemed to
be in the nature of necessity. and
further that notice for the election
upon which the people each act con.
tains referendum clause may be
posted next Monday and the cleo.
