Building for the State School for Boys
at South Portland, whereas the school
facilities at the State School for Boys
at South Portland are Inadequate to
Meet Present Requirements and
Whereas in the Opinion of the Legis-
lature this fact constitutes this Re-
solve on Emergency Measure, which
is Immediately necessary for the Pre-
servation of the Public Peace, Health
or Safety. now therefore
Resolved, that the sum of 81, 900 be
appropriated for the erection and
completes of a school building at
the State School for Boys at South
Portland, provided that like sum
be donated to the State for this pur-
pose by the Hon. Arthur r. Gould of

gentlemen. The plans of the school

thur r. Gould for their joint appro-
val, the construction and completion
OF the said building to be under the

Mr.. President, as I present this re-

words pertaining to it.
I am proud of the great county of
Aroostook in whose midst was born,
and throughout the length and
breadth of which. in many towns. I
had the privilege of teaching their
children in the common schools,
whose fountains must make glad all
this land of libGrty. The people from
one end of the great county to the
other surely have chosen distin-
guished representative with the other
two distinguished Senators to repre-
sent that great people in the s0th Le-
gislature of the State of Maine, and
am so proud of him and the people
whom he and the other two Senators
Of his county represent. that my

From the House: Resolve in fav-
or Of the Augusta State hospital for
maintenance during the years 1921,
1922 and 1923. In the Senate this
bill was passed to be enacted 1t
wa sreconsidered by the House, and
House Amendment "a" was adopt
ed.
The secretary read House Amend
ment "a"
Mr.. HARRINGTON of Kennebec:
Mr.. President, the committee on In
sane Hospitals, in reporting the re-
solves for the maintenance of the
two institutions, one at Augusta and
one at Bangor, followed the budget
and put aside although they felt
other resolves would have been we'll
worthy--followed the budget abso-
lutely, but felt that it was fair. iHas-
much as it is question whether the
budget will take care Of the institu-
tons properly or not,-followed the
idea of having any appropriation for
the six months period that might
have a balance at the end of the six
months period go over into the next
period, and so on. Now this amend
ment changes that so that any bal
ance at the end of any particular
period simply lapses, and they have
not the right under this amendment
to use any unexpended balance from
one period into the next period.
The committee felt that it might
be possible that the budget would
not adequately take care Of the in
stitutions but we took the chance
and reported the budget.
Now I am making this statement
so that the Senate may understand
what the effect of this amendment
is. am not going to make any mo-
ton as the chairman of the commit
tee on insane hospitals that we re-
ject the amendment. but I want the
Senate when we vote to understa
what that amendment means.
Mr.. ALLEN: Mr.. President, 1
would like to inquire if that is 4
House amendment?
The PRESIDENT: House Amend
ment "a" They have taken it from
the Governor and added House
Amendment "a" We have enacted
it.
Mr.. ALLEN: Mr. President. does
anybody know who proposed the
amendment?
The PRESTD. MT: There is moth
ing on the bill that would indicate.
This amendment has been appended
to several different bills of this ma
ture in the past few days.
Mr.. PARENT of Androscoggfn:
Mr.. President. I move that we nom
concur with the House in the ado.,-
ton of the amendment.
