legal affairs, il that is the right mo-
ton to make.
The SPEAKER: The Chair will
entertain whatever motion the gen.
tleman makes. This was repor,
from the committee on public utili-
ties
Mr.. ROUNDS: 1 move that we do
not accept the report and refer i,
back to the committee on legal at
fairs.
Mr.. ALLAN Of Portland: Mr.
Speaker, that bill came to the com
mitt on public utilities: but the con-
dition is such that it seemed neces-
sary to refer it to another commit
tee. The legal affairs committee has
a member from South Portland and
two from Portland. and the Portland
delegation has agreed that it shall
go to the committee on legal affairs
il it can be so arranged. This is
simply for an amenonent, and there
will be no hearing or anything OF
that kind.
A viva voce vote being taken. the
House voted to refer the bill and
papers to the com
mittee on legal affairs.

diseases. l have endeavored to. but
the Governor being out of the state
l have not received the information
that l desired. l would move you
that this matter be reassigned fol
next Tuesday.
A viva voce vote being taken. The
motion by Mr.. Bean Of Minot thai
the resolve be retabled until Tues
day, March II, prevailed.

A viva voce vote being taken. the

The Chair lays before the House
report of committee on military af
fairs, ought not to pass. on Resolve
for memorials in Portland. Lewiston
Augusta and Bangor. tabled by thu
gentleman from Lewiston. Mr.. Brann
pending acceptance of report.
Mr.. BRANN Of Lewiston: Mr.
Speaker, l move that this matter b.
taken from the table and retabled, a:
/ understand that a matter Of sim
liar import and tenor will later b.
reported out of the committee OF
military affairs. and l desire to dis
cuss them together.
The SPEAKER: Does the gentle
man from Lewiston, Mr.. Brann. de
sire a special assignment:
Mr.. BRANN: l move that the mat
ter be assigned for two weeks from
today
Mr.. ALLAN of Portland: Mr.
Speaker, some of US would like to ge
home at a reasonable time. and d.
not know how far ahead We are 60
ing to place some of these assign.
ments.
Mr.. BARNES of Houlton: Mr.
Speaker. without addressing mysel
particularly to the matter under dis
cussion. II the gentleman from LET
iston (Mr. Brann) will pardon me
and the House will entertain the idea
1t does seem that where matters hav'
had the particular attention OF thu
Legislature by calendar printed sine
February 10 and February 20. tina
there should be strong and compel
ling reason that would induce a ma
jority Of the House to continuousl!
postpone. We had. some Of US, hoped
that We might adjourn by the 22nt
Of March. We have promised our
selves that il the business of tn
State can properly be attended t.
we will adjourn by the 29th of March
It seems to me that it ia unfortunate
to retable for seven days every meas
ure that comes up today. where not
ice has so long been give3. On thi
particular matter. would inquire
through the Chair Of the gentleman
from Lewiston (Mr. BranD whethe
a postponement for seven days woul'
not be sufficient.
Mr.. BRAEN of Lewiston: MI
Speaker, l think that a postponemen
Of seven days in this matter will b.
sufficient. My reason for asking TO
the postponement was that. as un
derstand it, the comittee on militar!
affairs will report favorably upon
resolve for q memorial in the city o
Lewiston and that this resolve will
embrace similar features. Now If ;
resolve Of that tenor Is reported GU
OF the committee on military affairs
I assume that that will dispose. -
far az my city is concerned, Of thi
particular resolve which 10 now upol
the table, and that is the reason tina
/ asked for later assignment.
think, however. that a retailing TO
seven days will be sufficient. and
amend my first motion by asking tina
this matter be specially assigned 70
one week from today.
