Orders Of the Day
Mr.. THOMPSON OF Rockland: Mr..
Speaker, 1 suppose, under the vote of
the House passed last week, every
thing is taken from the table this
morning.
The SPEAKER: The gentleman is
correctly informed.
Mr.. THOMPSON: Therefore. I
move to take from the table House
Document No. ~.
The SPEAKER: The matter Is be-
fore the House without motion.
Mr.. THOMPSON: I want to say.
Mr.. Speaker. that move for the re-
tabling Of this bill, and ask the in
diligence Of the House for this
reason: The bill was held by the COM
mittee on salaries and fees for the
purpose Of reporting 1t simultaneously
with other bills then before them. The
bill by inadvertance was prematurely
reported and the remainder of the re-
port will be ready the coming week.
Therefore. ask the indulgence Of the
House and move that it be re-tabled.
The motion prevailed.
Mr.. MARTIN Of Augusta: Mr..
Speaker and Members Of the House,
wish to move the acceptance Of Re-
port B, ought to pass, and wish very
briefly to make few remarks on this
matter. do this at the request Of
Mr. Burns and also because there
seems to be legal right Of action
which has been denied Mr. Burns for
a great many years.
The facts in this matter are ex-
tremely simple. In 1887 Michael
Burns. in the city Of Augusta. was
selling imported. original. unbroken
packages Of liquor. That was In ac-
cordance with the law Of this State
as any attorney can tell you. There
are three decisions on 1T; in 49th. 65th
and 6sth Maine. That business at
that time was being conducted not
only In Augusta but elsewhere: in
Skowhegan, at Houlton. and in Port
