! Mr.. ALLEN: Mr.. President. gentle
men of the Senate. This has two
reports, majority report fought not
to pass" and the minority report
ought to pass" Will the Secretary
please read who signed the two re-
ports?
The PRESIDENT: The Chair will
read. The report Ought to pass"
signed by Barwise, Speirs, Crockett.
Eustis,-the report Ought not TO
pass" signed by Allen, Dudley, Hall.
*. c. Allen. Pierce and Bragdon.
Mr.. ALLEN: The majority of the
"ought not to pass" 1t was heard
before the full committee at that time.
with due consideration given to all
the pros and cons, and the majority
of the committee thought at that
time and | for one do now, that
while this proposed act is a very
good thing for the students of the
different normal schools, we thought
at this time the state was doing all
that it possibly could to help stud
ents in the different schools. We also
felt that perhaps this was a good
thing for the different municipalities.
They do that over in Westbrook as
the Senator from Cumberland saws.
They do It out in our town. the
Women's Clubs and the different or
ganizations round over the State
provide a fund to loan to different
students going to school, But we
felt that it perhaps was not just the
thing for the State of Maine to en-
bark on or go into the loan business.
! can understand how this man down
to Pennington perhaps might loan
the students out of the goodness OF
his heart certain sums of money
perhaps hasn't lost ANYTHING. That
is all very well. I think perhaps
that might be done in most any COM
munity, but we still felt that for the
tbest interests of all concerned this
bill ought not to pass.
The PRESIDENTS: Is the Senate
ready for the question? The pend
ing question before this body is on
1.-THE motion of the Senator from
Cumberland. Senator Speirs, who
moves that the minority report
"ought to pass" he accepted. Is this

viva voce vote, a division was had.
