The SPEAKER: The Clerk de-
sires the Chair to suggest at this
time that the members take care in
preparing the titles Of the bills
which they submit. The more
brief the title, the more readily
handled by the Clerk and the var
ious committees. The title should
indicate in some MANNER the SUBJ
iect matter of the bill, but it Is un-
necessary to embody much of Its
substance. The title on the outside
of the bill should correspond with
the title inside. The reference to
laws to be amended need not be
stated in full in the title. thereby
saving space.
At this time the Chair will urge
the members to be prompt in the
matters which they submit to the
Legislature. The earlier bills are
submitted, the more quickly we can
proceed to accomplish the work of
the winter. For the information of
new members the Chair will state
that it has been the custom along
in the session to put a limit Of time
beyond which no private legislation
may be introduced; so it Is i'm
portant to have matters that are
purely of private interest, such as
resolve in favor of any institution.
tefore the Legislature at an early
date. If the House will sit tomor-
row, and we can have fair num-
Der of bills in this week and assign
to committees. we can progress
much more rapidly.

Office of the Governor
Augusta, January Z, 1925.
To the Honorable Senate and House
of Representatives:
l return herewith without my ap-
prevail Senate Bill No. 273, entitled
Resolve, to appropriate money to
pay for egg Holsters purchased in
1922
When this Resolve came to me J
was not sufficiently informed as to
the merits of the claims against the
State for the purchases referred to,
and had no time for investigation
Later found that the purchases had
been made contrary to the orders OF
the Governor and Council. but that
the error was unintentional and that
the men who sold the Holsters to the
State acted innocently and in good
faith.
+ In view Of these facts subse-
quently arranged to have the bills
paid, for 1t did not seem proper that
the fishermen should wait for two
years for their money. This Resolve,
If It became law, would be of no ef-
feet.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) PERCIVAL p. BAXTER,
Governor of Maine.
Mr.. HINCKLEY of Cumberland:
Now, Mr.. President, may inquire
through the President whether or not
any Senator has information as to
whether these bills have been paid.
