very liberal indeed in another bill tina:
it going through for this hospital which
helps the town, and l move that it BE-
indie finitely postponed.
Mr.. DAVIES Of Cumberland: Mr.
President. may inquire to what COM
mittee this bill was referred?
Mr.. GOOGIN of Androscoggin: Mr.
President. the committee on claims.
think.
Mr.. DAVIES: Mr.. President. it
seems to me that the Senate Is tusti-
fed in following the report Of the
committee on claims in regard to this
matter. l know absolutely nothing
about the merits of this resolve.
neither have the merits been ex-
planned to the Senate. and it seems to
me before it is Indefinitely postponed
some one should explain the condi-
tons under which the committee on
claims reported on it. 1t might have
little more significance and a little
more importance than it Appears to
have on its face. and I should like to
suggest. Mr.. President. to the chair
man of the committee on claims that
he make some little explanation in
relation to it. or. if he does not know.
some one else in the Senate.
Mr.. GOOGlN Of Androscoggin: Mr..
President, would move that il lie on
the table until tomorrow morning.
The motion was agreed to.
The vote being doubted by Mr..
Creighton of Knox.
Mr.. CREIGHTON: Mr.. President.
lets stop putting this stuff on the
table or we wont get through here
until next July. l have some bust
ness of my own to attend to. and let's
take this stuff and so through with
il.
The PRESIDENT: The Chair
thinks the point is well taken
Mr.. CREIGHTON: We want to do
something. | am being laughed at
and l don't like that. go down to
Knox county where they are all DEM

| fellows doing up there? It don't
amount TO anything. Just two OF
YOU
| The PRESIDENT: If the Senator
will further bear with the Chair
Mr. CREIGHTON: will do any.
| thing YOU say. like YOU.
Mr.. DAVIES: desire to say &c
, the Senator from Knox that the
Democrats in his county are no,
! laughing at him: they are laughing
al tho Republicans. But as a matter
! of fact there is no occasion for ii. We
will be through on time. let me say
TO you
/ Mr.. CREIGHTON: We won't un-
! loss We get busy
| The PRESIDENT: assure the
Senator from Knox. Senator Creigh-
Ton, that the Chair will be glad to

/ In the House. ! might suggest fol

| Mr.. DEER1NG: Nh President
there are five or six OF these bills that
! all seek to collect money from the
, State for the construction of q cot
tage at the Women's Reformatory a,
Skowhegan. and the same motion
! that am going to make applies to
them all. and the same remarks. In
order to save time and shorten uE
| the session. we have made q plan sc
that all of these bills shall go into one
! resolve and be passed as one resolve
instead Of passing them in detail
We would then have perhaps four OF
five lines for this resolve that will
probably pass instead of about forty
or fifty RACES. and when that resolve
comes in from the committee on
claims. il it comes in in proper shape
were arc going TO indefinitely post
pone al! these detail bills. so that the
Governor and Council may pay the
Till under the resolve that is coming
in.
So move that this be laid on the
table until that resolve comes in. and
then all the detail resolves will be
indefinitely postponed.
The motion was agreed to.
