Mr.. MURRAY of Portland: Mr..
Speaker, yesterday there was before
the House, Senate Document No. IL,
which was the same as number OF
other measures which came before
us relating to charitable institutions.
The House, I believe, non-concurred
with the Senate and moved that the
matter be indefinitely postponed.
These other matters were afterward
reconsidered and at this time I
move that the House reconsider its
action Of yesterday regarding Sen
ate Document No. IL. This is a mat
ter which was printed and adver-
tised undeS the arrangement made
before the session of the Legislature;
and it SENS that as all other matters
have been referred to committees.
this matter should also be referred,
and l ask that action of the House.
Mr.. HOLLEY of No. Anson: Mr..
Speaker, this bill has been referred
already by advertisements to the
committee on appropriations and
financial affairs. / do not think that
this is matter that we can pass
over lightly. I do not think we can
pass over any matter relative to our
charitable institutions lightly, and r
sincerely hope that this House will
see fit this morning to grant the re-
quest Of the representative from
Portland. NJ. Murray.
The SPEAKER: The gentleman
from Portland, Mr.. Murray, has
moved that the House reconsider its
action whereby It referred to the next
Legislature resolve appropriating
$4,000 for a dor1nitory for the
Maine Institution for the Blind.
A viva voce vote being taken,
The motion to reconsider pre-
vailed; and on further motion by Mr..
Murray of Portland, the House voted
to concur with the Senate in the
commitment of the Resolve to the
committee on appropriations and
financial affairs.
The SPEAKER: In order that we
may facilitate the business Of the
session, there are Senate papers, and
if it is the pleasure of the. House to
give unanimous consent they can be
taken up out Of order. II anybody
objects this cannot be done. II there
is no objection. the Chair will take
