PARLIAMENTARY PRACTICE
Mr. O. I move that we build a new clubhouse at a cost of $50,000.[Seconded and stated.]
Mr. P. I move to amend the motion by striking out "of" and inserting "not to exceed."
Mr. O [without rising]. I accept the amendment.
Chairman. Is there any objection? The chair hears none—the motion is amended, and the question is on the adoption of the motion, "That we build a clubhouse at a cost not to exceed $50,000."[1]
Mr. Q. I move that it be referred to a committee of three to be appointed by the chair. [Seconded.]
[Question stated and put, motion adopted, and committee appointed by the chair.]
Mr. R. I move to adjourn. [Seconded.]
[Question stated and put, motion adopted, and the chair declares the assembly adjourned.]
- ↑ Time may often be saved by accepting an amendment as in this case. It cannot be accepted, however, if a single objection is made. If objection is made the chair should immediately state the question on the amendment.
