give them the same opportunity to
take advantage Of their chances
as they got in other parts of the State;
and l hope that this measure will re-
ccive favorable consideration.
Mr. HOBBS of Hope: Mr.. Speaker.
I cannot express myself in the, way /
would like in regard to this matter;
cannot find words to do it. / am not
capable of saying the things I would
like to say, but / think l would not be
doing my duty here to my consttu-
cnts if l did not say few words in
favor of this proposition. | cannot sec
why tho people here. members of the
Legislature. should not be willing to
give us start and give us q chance to
have a bridge across there. The people
who travel there will pay the biggest
part of the expense, and 1t will not be
great burden to the State in the long
run. | think the Legislature ought to
give us a chance to have this question
submitted to the people and let them
decide. l think we ought to have that
privilege.
Mr.. BARWTSE of Bangor: Mr..
Speaker and gentlemen: 1 wish to add
word to this discussion, and that is
TO say that I think this is the only
proposition of a similar nature that we
have had in recent years where it look
ed as though it were a sound business
proposition, where there was sufficient
income to take care of the sinking fund
50 that eventually it will cost the State
practically nothing. L believe it is
Tor the development of the whole east
ern part of the state to have this
bridge and | hope that this proposition
Will prevail
