(continued from Page Two)

liz
The motion of Senator Thombs that
the minority report be accepted pre-
vailed by a viva voce vote.
The PRESIDENT: The Chair de-
sires to announce a communication
received from his Excellency, the Gov
ernor. The secretary will read the
communication.
The secretary read the communica-
ton, as follows:
April Fourth, 1921
TO the Honorable Senate
I return herewith without my ap-
proval Resolve in favor Of the erec-
ton of a State of Maine building on
the grounds of the Eastern States Ex-
position at Springfield, , Massachu-
SETS
This Resolve appropriates the sum
of $4,000 for the construction of
building in Springfield. Massachusetts,,
the same to be permanently used by
the State of Maine in connection with
the Eastern States Exposition. If the
States finances warranted the expen-
diture of $4,000 for the purposes re-
ferred to some benefit undoubtedly
would accrue to the State of Maine
from this annual exhibition of agricul-
tural products.
The erection of the proposed build
ing would commit the State to the
definite policy of maintaining it and of
providing suitable exhibits therefor.
The expenses of such an undertaking
are necessarily large and would con-
stantly increase. The people Of the
state are interested in securing a mar
ket for their agricultural products
beyond the limits Of the State but in
my opinion with the demands now
pressing upon us for appropriations
it is unwise at the present time to in
vest money in building in neighbir-
ing state. Our local affairs and exhi-
bitions are calling for more money
from the State than is now available
and until these reasonable demands are
met the States activities in this direc-
tion may well be confined within it's
own borders.
Respectfully,
(signed) PERCIvAL P. BAXTER,
Governor of Maine.
The PRESIDENT: The Chair will
state the question: Shall the resolve
be passed Notwithstanding the objec-
tions of the Governor?
