Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1925-02-28
On motion by Mr.. Speirs Of Cum
berland, the bill was retabled.

Mr.. MORRISON Of Franklin: Mr..
President, at the request of Mr..
Clarke, who is unable to be present
this morning, and who tabled the
matter yesterday morning, I move
that we take from the table II. P.
III, House report from the commit
tee on legal affairs, Ought not to
pass, on an Act to grant certain
powers to the town of Eden.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr.. MORRISON: Mr.. President, in
the House, it was voted to recommit
this matter to the committee on legal
affairs. and l move that the Senate
| concur with the House and recon-
| init the bill to the committee on
legal affairs.
The motion was agreed to and the
bill was recommitted.
On motion by Mr.. Smith of Som
erset, H. D. 123, An Act to regulate
fishing in certain ponds in Somerset
county, was taken from the table,
Senator, the bill was given it's first
reading.
| Mr.. POWERS Of Aroostook: Mr..
President, l would like to inquire,
through the Chair, of the Senator
from kennebec, Senator Maher,
when he considers taking from the
table H. D. 81? l make this request
simply because of the congested con-
dition of the docket of the commit
tee on legal affairs, and the fact that
at the request of many citizens of
Lewiston, some of whom are in favor
of this bill and some who are oppos-
ed to 1t, we are endeavoring to hold
from week to week a date open for
three other bills pertaining to Lew
iston, and this bill should it come to
US.
If the Senator from Kennebec in
tends to make another reference to
some other committee, or something
of that sort, then of course it is of
no particular interest to us, but II
this is merely held on the table for
study, l might say that the hearing
cannot be assigned now under three
weeks, and it would be a great con-
venience not only to the committee
but to many people who favor and
oppose the bill If we could assign q
definite date.
The PRESIDENT: Does the Sena-
tor desire to reply through the
Chair?
Mr.. MAHER of Kennebec: Mr.
President, l understand, it is IT. D.
81 the Senator is inquiring about
Mr.. POWERS: 1t is.
MIR. MAHER: Mr.. President, I will
state that started to take the same
from the table yesterday. The mend
ing question is not reference to the
committee on legal affairs, as | un-
derstood it. The Senator from An
droscoggin, Senator Lane, as I I'M
derstood. made motion for the SEN
ate to insist upon its reference
which was to the committee on ju.
dietary. The House non concurred
with this body, and made a reference
In Inconvenience, as / understand
to the committee on legal affairs
And there having developed a GER
tain appearance of internecine party
warfare, which is of no concern to
me or, l think. to other members OF
the Judiciary committee,-when the
Senator from Androscoggin moved
to insist, and thus put this august
body on record as either standing to
It's original reference or going back
on it and concurring with the House
i
feeling that some of the judiciary
committee at least do not care any,
thing about the matter. tabled it
and started to take it off the table
yesterday. and at his request did no,
do so. And then in conference with
either the attorney. or sponsor. OF
author. he asked the question which
the Senator asks, and l told hin
that it would be taken off when II
suited these two gentlemen which
would be Tuesday next. And en-
tering into that, assume there was
the collateral and not wholly irrele-
want, but to us unimportant ques
ton, that upon Monday in Lewiston
there would be an election.
The PRESIDENT: Are there any
other matters we may take from the
table to expedite the work Of this
Legislature?
Mr.. MAHER of Kennebec: Mr.
President, L move We take from the
table II. p. 731, An Act in relation
to State funds for charity patients
in public and private hospitals.
The motion was agreed to and the
Senator then yielded to the Senator
from kennebec, Senator Wadsworth
On motion by Mr.. Wadsworth, the
bill was referred to the committee
on judiciary.
On motion by Mr.. Powers OF
ArooStook,
Adjourned until Tuesday, March
Bird, at 4.30 p. NJ.
