Orders Of the Day
From the House: Ordered, the
Senate concurring, that the joint
standing committees of the s0th
Legislature report finally not later
than Friday, April l, 1921.
Read and passed in the House.
Mr.. HARRINGTON of Kennebec:
the order.
The PRESIDENT: March %, and
the report is to be not later than
Friday, April 1st. 1921.
Mr.. FARRINGTON: Mr.. President,
it strikes me that it will be absolute
ly impossible for the committees of
this Legislature to file final reports on
next Friday. I understand some COM
mittees have hearings on that date.
I move we indefinitely postpone the
order.
Mr.. GILLIN of Penobscot: Mr.
President 1 desire to rise to second
the motion OF the Senator from Ken
nebec, for this reason, we have
hearing appointed for Friday of this
week-the last one, believe, and our
committee has before it think some
very important measures that will
take some time to thresh out, and I
hope and trust that under those con-
ditions the motion of the distin-
guished Senator from Kennebec will
prevail.
Mr.. FARRINGTON: Mr.. President,
may 1 say on behalf of so harsh. a
motion that it is not with any idea
of any antagoIfism to the PROPOSE
ton of getting away from here as
early as I can, but think the easiest
way to take care Of the order is to
indefinitely postpone it, and when
we find we are where we can, to put
in an order fixing the time.
