Orders Of the Day
Mr.. SAWYER Of Fort Fairfield:
Printed House Bill % is complete
~ exhausted. and 1 move that 500
more copies be printed.
The SPEAKER: The Chair sug-
gests that the gentleman from Fort
Fairfield (Mr. Sawyer) prepare an
order and have i; come in that form.
Mr.. ROUNDS Of Portland: I move
that we take from the table the COM
munication from the State Auditor.
with the list of unpaid bills and ac-
counts for which there are no ap-
preparations. Mr.. Speaker. these bills
and resolves that come here. some
of them while not legally entitled
to be paid. morally they should be.
For example, t. is the bill OF the
Board of Veterinary Examiners,
SOL 81, and that of the Commission
ers Of Pharmacy. $1,611.OO. making
total of 81 .912.G7. / have been told
by lawyers that there is no law Civ
ing them a right spend this mon
cy-only Just their income: but their
income is not enough to support
themselves. SO they come and ask
the Legislature to appropriate the
money for different departments,
amounting to $3,7OS45. For these
bills there was no appropriation. 1
held them up yesterday because I
did not want them to come out of
cur appropriations for 1919 and 1920.
l find, however, that by letting this
go to the committee on financial af-
fairs as was done in 1917, they prob
ably will do as We then done-fave
resolves brought into this House
that will cover these different items.
and at that time it will be taken out
of the contingent fund which now
amounts to about $325. 600. There
fore l move that they be sent to
the committee on financial affairs.
The SPEAKER: The Chair will
state that the motion had already
been made by tho gentleman from
Rumford, Mr.. Eaton: so when the
matter comes from the table, it au-
tomatically recurs to the motion of
the gentleman from Rumford, lr.
Eaton; and is it the pleasure of the
House that these matters be refer
req to the committee on approx ia
tons and financial affairs in nom
concurrence with the action of the
Senate sending it to the committee
on claims?
The motion was agreed to.
