This Resolve would have been in

been attended to by the Governor and
Council and there is no need of ac-
ton being taken by tho Legislature.

they will come before the Legisla

and Representatives. may see that the
flags have been properly cared for
by the Governor and Council.
Respectfully submitted.
(;igled) pERClVAL p, BAXTER,
Governor Of Maine.
The message was read by the Sec
rotary.
The PRESIDENT: This Resolve was
finally passed in the House over the
veto of The Governor by vote OF
1873 in the affirmative and 4 in the
negative and as two thirds vote
was received it was pa ssed over the
Governors veto. 1t now comes to the
Senate for the constitutional roll
call on the question whether 1t shaIi
be finally passed and become law
notwithstanding the objections Of
the Governor.
Mr.. BUZZELL of Waldo: Mr.. Presi-
dent and members of the Senate. the
Governor has just sent me state
ment here and wanted me to present
it to the Senate. 1t is in substance
what is contained in the vetO~m S.
sage. but in addition to what is con-
tanned in thaD message this statement
saws that he expects daily these cabl'
nets to arrive at the freight station
He says that the steps taken by
him and the Council are agreeabie
to the vet ,rans of the World Wal
and the Spanish War. and that they
hive expressed their appIoNal u
what has been done.
: [ present this statement in accord
: ance with his wishes
Mr.. EATON Of Oxford: Mr.. Presi'
dent ! desire to have this statement
from the Governor read in detail.
The PRESIDENTS: Does the sena-
tor from Waldo. Mr.. Buzzell. wish
that to be entered upon the records
{ and read by the Secretary"
Mr.. BUZZELI.: Yes. indeed. there Is
no objection | will read it in full.
Early in 1922 Governor Baxter Sc
cured sketches and estimates for the
flag cabinets in which to place the
Spanish and World War flags. Ever,
detail has been attended to. the con
tract has been let and any day the
Governor expects to have notice
that the flag cabinets are at the
freight yards in Augusta. THESE
cabinets will be placed one on me
right and one on the left OF the
rotunda, and will match the present
cabinets. 1t it not necessary for the
Legislature to take any action. the
money has been provided for by the
Governor and Council. and the vet
Grams of the World War and of the
Spanish War have expressed theli
approval of what has been done.
If the resolve is passed il would h'
necessary Of course for the Governor
and Council to disregard it. because
they cannot overrule the present con-
tract and it would not be advisable tc
procure moro than tho two cabinets al
ready ordered. for tho total number OF
flags is only 10--three Spanish wal
and seven Of the World War. The
Governor and Council acted in good
:, faith at tho suggestion Of the Wai
! veterans and whatever action the
. Legislature now takes is superfuous
because nothing more can be done tnai
already has been done
Cost of $4,000 per cabinet.
