far as may be, against the destruc-
tion of the town, and this was a pro-
vision which in other cities had been
found to work well. There was not
a building capable of repairs in the
burnt district that would take more
than a month to complete, and this
bill only allowed repairs when not
more than one third of the structure
required to be renewed.
The amendment was lost, and the
section passed.
The fourth section passed with
verbal amendments to make its in
tent clearer, amendments regarding
the dimensions of signs, offered by
Reps. Dole and Dickey, being lost.
On motion of Rep. Thurston,
"iireproof" was put in place of
"brick" in two places in the fifth
section, and on motion of Rep. Hay
selden the dimensions of cornices
allowed, not tireproof, were struck
out, and the section was passed rs
amended.
Rep. Thurston moved to insert
"Fire Marshall instead of "Minis-
ter of Interior" in the sixth section.
He thought the Minister had more
important duties than going round
inspecting shutters.
Rep. Castle thought new officer
should be appointed for this SER
vice--a superintendent of buildings.
Rep. Dole did not want any more
red tape. 1t was enough that Off
GERS should report infractions to the
Minister.
After observations from Reps.
Richardson and Thurston, the
amendment was lost and the section
passed.
On section seven, Rep. Thurston
thought there was chance for the
lawyers, in mentioning "Oahu Jail"
as the place of Imprisonment for
offenders, and moved to strike the
words out.
Rep. Dole moved in amendment
that the words relating to imprison-
ment be entirely struck out. 1t was
improper to subject an offender, for
such an offence, to imprisonment
and disgrace.
Minister Gullck, respecting re-
mark that had been made about the
barbarism of this bill, was free to
say that when they came to Il punish
| |, Ln al, 10
might be said that if man was Il
little over his ninety days he would
be subject to imprisonment, but it
was hardly necessary to say that no
justice would do such a thing. He
considered the punishment in Sec
ton was progressive, covering a
first offense and determined disre-
gard of the regulations both. Punish
ment by fine alone had proved in
adequate for the suppression Of
cruelty to animals, so that an act
had been introduced to add impri-
sonment to the punishment of indi-
viduals disregardful of the provi-
sions of that law.
Rep. Thurston expressed himself
in favor of the amendment.
The amendment was carried.
Rep. Dole, in amendment to an
amendment offered by Rep. Dickey
which the latter accepted, moved to
insert "after conviction" after the
word "violation." Carried.
The section as amended was then
passed.
Sections 8 and 8 passed without
amendment.
Rep. Dole thought the title was
defective in expressing two objects
and after discussion by Minister
Neumann, who considered the titlt
all right, and Rep. Brown likewise
an amendment was submitted by
Minister Gibson, which carried
making the title read, San Act t.
Regulate the Erection and Repair
ing of Buildings in the City o
Honolulu within Prescribed Fin
Limits"
Rep. Dole moved reconsidera
ton of sec. 8, which was lost.

dered to be engrossed and read
