The SPEAKER: Is there any fur
ther business under orders of the

Mr.. HAMILTON Of Caribou: Mr..
Speaker. | wish to take from the ta-
bic Senate Paper 271, report of COM
! mittee on Inland Fisheries and Game
reporting new draft (S p. 546) S. D.
232 on bill an act to regulate fishing
in Aroostook River, tabled by me
March %, pending acceptance of the
report; and | further move that the
bill be indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. FLINT of Monson: Mr. Speak
er, if in order, l move that it be re-
tabled.
Mr.. WING of Auburn: Mr.. Speaker
l ask for a division.
The SPEAKER: A division Is re-
nuested. the motion before the House
being that of the gentleman from
Monson. Mr.. Flint, that this matter
lie on the table.
A division being had
Six voted in the affirmative and Al
in the negative. the motion to table
failed of passage.
The SPEAKER: The motion now
| before the House is that Of the
gentleman from Caribou. Mr.. Hamil-
ton. that this bill be indefinitely post
poned. Is the House ready for the
question?
Mr.. HAMILTON of Caribou: Mr..
Speaker. | will not take up any time
of the House in explanation Of this
measure. 1t only takes in territory
three times the area of Rhode ISL
and. 1t is an innocent looking affair
but 1t seems to me unwise that we
should close UP this immense area
with bill of this kind and I do not
think the proponents of it are very
much interested. Therefore the in
definite postponement Of the bill
would be satisfactory TO everybody
in Aroostook, and I do not think
there is anybody outside who IS in
terestCd.
\ viva yoce vote being taken, the
motion to indefinitely postpone pre-
vailed.
