First Reading Of Printed Bills and
Resolves
House ASP: An Act to amend Sec
ton of Chapter 1ls of the Revised
Statutes. relating to fees of sheriffs
and their deputies. New draftD
Mr.. ROUNDS of Portland: Mr.
Speaker, l move that this bill be
tabled.
Mr. HINCkLEY of South Portland:
several bills before the judiciary
committee and several before the
legal affairs committee. We spent a
lot of time working them out and got
them all into one bill. and they were
reported ought not to pass. This g
not a matter where the State pays
any money. All these are county Of
fces, and I will say to the gentle
man from Portland (Mr. Rounds)
that so far as Cumberland county Is
concerned. this bill was reported un-
animously by the Cumberland coun-
ty delegation. including the gentle
man from Portland. Mr.. Rounds.
Mr. ROUNDS: Mr.. Speaker: beg
to differ with the gentleman from
South Portland (Mr. Hinckley). 1t
was not unanimous, and I reserve my
rights at this time. In the Cumber-
land county delegation we had put
down a figure-we have not voted
but we have put down figure diff
ferent from what the gentleman from
South Portland (Mr. Hinckley) has
said It was voted unanimously. That
is coming here with a report different
from the report there.
Mr.. HINCKLEY: Mr.. Speaker. We
had a meeting of the Cumberland
delegation, and the particular matter
which the gentleman from Portland
fMr. Rounds) has in mind is the
question of increasing special officers
from three to four dollars. The gen
tleman came to that committee when
our secretary was present and came
to that meeting. and ! think every
member was present. OF course I
do not remember definitely just who
was there; but | remember that the
gentleman who has just spoken was
present. 1t was Woodland | did not
hear a voice against it-that We
should recommend four dollars for
