to be liability then why should we
not set them off? But their only
reason is, gentlemen, that they had
a monopoly on the weir privileges
on the island and they are afraid
they will lose that monopoly if
there is Il division of the town and
I sincerely hope, gentlemen, that
my motion will prevail.
Mr.. ROGERS of Jonesport: Mr..
Speaker and gentlemen: I am a
citizen of the town of Jonesport. I
was in hopes that / would not feel
called upon to talk upon this sub
ject, but the gentleman from Jones'
boro (Mr. Varney) has seemed from
the beginning to take very lively
interest that we be divided. I think
that is the principal argument-that
we be divided. We were at one
time q part of Jonesboro-set off a
great many years ago. being II
miles from that town. Now the
claims set forth by the gentleman
from Jonesboro (Mr. Varney) are
that it is for a selfish purpose that
we retain the island of Beal and
its Inhabitants. They are friends of
mine of lifelong standing, and there
is no trouble between us. This con-
tention has arisen very recently, and
so far as the weir privileges are con-
ccrned, they belong to Jonesport
and Beals together. We are one
and undivided, and / should hope
that it would be the sense of this
House that they leave us undivided.
If there is any particular advantage
in setting Beals apart for themselves
it would be, of course, a selfish mo-
tive, and there is no selfish motive
in that we should stay together. live
together, and prosper together as
we have in the past. We have long
stretches of road, and the people of
the island use our roads and all of
those things. We are one people,
and it is too bad-unfortunate-
1 am very Sorry that this has come
up. It is a serious thing for us and
believe it also to be a serious thing
for Beals. I think those people will
be sorry-actually sorry in time If
this division is made. Therefore, 1
move that we accept the committees
report.
The SPEAKER: The question is on
the motion of the gentleman from
Jonesport, Mr.. Varney, to substitute
the bill for the report. All those in
favor will say aye, contrary minded,
no.
| A viva voce vote being taken, the
motion to substitute the bill for the
report failed of passage.
On motion by Mr. Rogers of Jones'
port, a viva voce vote being taken.
the report of the committee was ac-
copied in concurrence.
