IN" the acceptance of either report,
and the Chair recognizes the senator
from oxford. Mr.. Eaton
Mr.. EATON: Mr.. President, I move
that this be retablcd. At the time
this was placed upon the table last
week, 1t was with the distinct un-
Outstanding that it might remain
there until the Carlton Resolve and
Act We're finally disposed of.
Mr.. HINCkLEY: Mr.. President, it
seems to me that the Senate should
vote on this matter and determine
now whether or not they want pri-
vate parties to become part of our
great highway system in this State
In other words, to build n bridge
across the kennebec river which will
be part of our highway system. I
want to say now, Mr.. President and
senators. that l am just as much
opposed. just as strenuously opposed
to private parties participating in
governmental matters as | am to the
government participating in private
business enterprises. and hope that
we can dispose of this matter once
for all. because l know this matter
being held up is seriously interfering
with the passage of the Carlton re-
solve, which l believe this Lecisla-
ture is in favor OF. and / hope the
gentleman will take it from the
table and let us vote on it and see
where we stand.
The PRESIDENT: The Chair will
state it automatically comes from the
table and awaits any motion by the
Senate.
Mr.. HINCKLEY: To bring it be-
fore the Senate. | move that we in
definitely postpone.
MIR. EATON: Mr. President, I
move that the matter lie on the
table.
The PRESIDENTS: The motion to
lay on the table takes precedence
over the motion to indefinitely post
pone.

Mr.. EATON: Mr.. President. this is
an act that contains the same sub
jcct matter as II. -. 1913. which was
a resolve, That resolve was passed by
the Legislature. vetoed by the Gov
ernor. and the veto sustained.
move the indefinite postponement OF
this act.
Mr.. WILSON of AroostoOk Mr..
resident and gentlemen, it is true
this is practically similar to the re-
solve which the Governor vetoed and
at that time wished to recall. BY
agreement with the parties interest
I'd in this bill it was to come back
again to the Legislature with agree
ment of the Governor. 1t is money
raised for shipping point inspection
Of potatoes and apples. or any other
farm produce which may require in
spection. and thit inspection carries
with il a certificate from the inspec-
tor which is prima facie evidence in
any court in Maine that the goods
when shipped We're as represented
and sold. and it is practically the
only way a. man selling through
brokers can get pay through the
courts. because it is indisputa bic
that the inspectors who work in'con-
junction with the Federal inspectors
in Boston, New York. Philadelphia
and those other ports are instructed
in the method of putting up l. :.
No. grades of vegetables. and for
that reason. with the understanding
that it should come back again. |
think Mr. Eaton will withdraw his
motion. that he has made.
Mr. EATON: With that explana-
ton. Mr. President Will withdraw
the motion.
Unanimous consent was given by
the Senate that the motion for m
definite postponemcnt might be With
drawn.
On motion by Mr.. Eaton the Dill
