by Mr.. Eaton of Rumford: An Act
to amend Section 5 of Chapter lis
of the Revised Statutes, relating to
fees Of sheriffs and other deputies.
Mr.. BARNES of Houlton: Is
there an order for printing that bill?
The SPEAKER: There is no order.
Mr.. BARNES: l move that 500
copies be printed.
Mr.. ROUNDS Of Portland: Will it
lie on the table. Mr.. Speaker?
The SPEAKER: The Chair will
state that the bill will go to the
Committee
Mr.. ROUNDS: l move to reconsid-
er the vote whereby it was sent TO
the Committee on Salaries and Fees
Mr.. BARNES: Mr. Speaker,
have not read this bill, but I had
heard that a bill was coming IN
whereby the fees of deputy sheriffs
for serving civil papers were to be
raised. This is not question Of
salary. For instance, if we order a
deputy sheriff to go out into an ad-
joining town and post notices of a
sale of real estate by levy, in late
years he could not do this except at
his own expense. because he is au-
thorized to charge fifty cents a mile,
and that will not pay team hire in
some cases. My sole object in ask
ing the printing of this bill was that
the other sheriffs in the state might
sec the suggestion. Perhaps it is
immaterial to what committee the
hill goes. although the lawyers have
the bills to pay. and it is not any
thing that comes out of the State
or county. The lawyers who have
the bills to pay would perhaps be
competent to determine whether the
deputy sheriff should have more pay
ar not.
Mr. WILSON Of Portland: Mr..
Speaker. I would like to inquire if
tho gentleman from Tloultor (Mr.
Earnes> will answer one question:
Tie SPEAKER: The gentleman
; from Portland may make the inquiry
through the Chair.
Mr.. WILSON: Does not the pres
ent statute provide that deputy
sheriffs when they serve papers have
six cents per mile travel and reason
! able expenses for team hire?
Mr.. BARNES: Mr.. Speaker, /
would not attempt to quote the sta
tute 1 merely want the privilege of
reading this bill before voting on it,
and l merely make the suggestion to
| the gentleman from Portland, Mr..
Rounds. that one of the legal COM
mittees may as we'll handle it as the
committee on salaries.
Mr.. ROUNDS: ! withdraw my
motion.
