care or by statute. This 10 In add
ton to the regular appropriation. The
proponents of the measure may have
some suggestion to offer; I have none
beyond that, and 1 move that the re-
solve now take its regular course.
The SPEAKER: The House will
note the wording of the resolve,
which is Resolved, that there be
annually appropriated the sum of
two thousand five hundred dollars"
Clearer language could hardly be
conceived by any member Of the
House. The question Is on the &C
ceptance of the report Of the COM
mittee.
Mr.. HOLLEY: Mr.. Speaker, the
| references to this matter may be
somewhat misleading. This resolve
increases the appropriation seven
hundred fifty dollars. There is al
ready appropriated, I think, the sum
! of fifteen hundred dollars, so that
| it does not include the total suggest
ed in the resolve, but it is an in
crease of seven hundred fifty dol
| lars.
The SPEAKER: Does the GENTLE
man from North Arson, Mr.. Holley,
| understand the resolve any differ.
| entity from the Chair? The resolve
| reads: Resolved that there be an
nually appropriated the sum of two
! thousand five hundred dollars for
the Eastern Maine, State Fair" It
| is an appropriation to be taken care
of in the tax bill.
| Mr.. CHALMERS Of Bangor: As
I understand it, Mr.. Speaker, that
repeats an appropriation of seven.
teen hundred and fifty dollars.
The SPEAKER: It so reads
! Mr.. CHALMERS: And under the
provisions Of this resolve the appro-
priation would be twenty-five hun
dred dollars, making the appropria-
! ton the same as that allowed to the
Lewiston Fair, and the same as that
| allowed to the Central Maine Fair,
in the way Of aiding premiums.
| The question being on the accept
ance of the report of the committee.
The report was accepted.
On motion by Mr.. Larrabee of
Lewiston, Senate Doc. No. 1T, Re-
port of Committee on Judiciary on

iston, Mr. Larrabee, that the report
