| Mr.. sPRAGUE of Piscataouis. =,
move that the report be accented
J Inc motion was agreed to.
Mr.. GILLIN of Penobscot: Mr.
resident, l will state for Brother
! Sprague that in the absence NJ
senator Baxter, who had this on the
liable, that he desired that a motion
De made to have it indefinitely most
poneo when it was taken off the
table. 1 told him if it was taken off
1 would make that motion.
Mr.. President and gentlemen 7
move now, as it is off the table. that
the matter be indefinitely postnoned
l feel that l am under obligation to
do so.
Mr.. sPRAGUE: Mr.. President, this
is very simple matter. I do NOT
think the State of Maine will be en-
dangered at all. The man happened
to build building near the head a.
Moosehead lake, in the village of
Greenville on one of the principal
streets of that village. And he ham
pened to get few rods, possibly five
| or six,-Senator Gillin knows more
about that than do, for it was be-
fore his committee and that COM
mittee reported favorably on this
bill. Now this is simply, as / un-
derstand. to give him a fee or ease
| ment,-I am not certain which. in
the few feet of land he happened to
build on. 1t is a part Of the bed of
Moosehead lake. That is the facts
Of the case, so that I hope that the
motion to indefinitely postpone will
not prevail
Mr.. GILLIN: Mr.. President, in
order to have the thing clarified, /
thoroughly agree with the statement
OF the senator from Piscataquis.
