ORDER OF THE DAY.
Third reading of the street OBJ
struction bill.
Rep. Richardson, on the bill being
read, moved it pass.
Rep. Wight moved to have sec.
20 restored as in the original bill, so
that no one should be allowed to
play quoits or ball In the streets.
He spoke of the mischievous pro-
clivities of boys, expressing his APP
prehension that, If allowed to in
dulge in games on the street, they
would wantonly frlghten horses.
Rep. Thurston said this point was
fully discussed and settled on Sec
ond reading, and the section should
now pass as in the bill.
Minister Dare saw conflict of
authority between the Road Super
visor and the Harbor Master in the
bill, and many similar anomalies.
Rep. Thurston commended that
there was no conflict of authority.
After some discussion the bill was
referred back TO select committee.
Second reading of an act to regu-
late proceedings in bankruptcy [in-
troduced by Rep. BROWN.
Rep. Kaai moved the first section
be indefinitely postponed, on the
ground that the provision for de-
claring debtor owing an aggregate
of $3.50 bankrupt would make
native Hawaiian storekeepers liable
to be ruined by conspiracy of petty
creditors.
Rep. Brown defended the bill,
saying it was designed for one thing
to prevent abuses on the part OF
Cinnamon, and urging the necessity
for a new bankruptcy law.
The several sections passed with
considerable discussion and slight
amendments.
Minister Dare moved to strike out
the enacting clause of the bill, but
was informed that he was out OF
order, as the title and not the en-.
acting clause was before the house.
He characterized the bill as ill-con-
ceived and bad, in proof of which
he instanced a motion made by the
introducer to add new section.
Rep. Brown denied that the mo-
ton proved any such thing, as the
proposed amendment was offered on
the suggestion of judge of the
Supreme Court. He spoke of the
necessity of new law, and chal-
lenged She Acknowledgement to pro-
duce better bill. 1t made no diff
ference to him whether the bill passed
or not, but if this one was killed the
country would have to do without an
efficient bankruptcy law another two
years.
Minister Dare said the bill was
harsh, cruel and understandable 1t
gave power to wealthy men to crush
the poor. Men of wealth were able
to protect themselves.
Rep. Kauhane considered the law
was intended to reach fraudulent
persons, and was not apprehensive
that it would be used as an instru-
ment of oppression.
A motion to pass the title as
amended was lost.
Noble Cleghorn, after a good
deal of discussion on the best course
to take on account Of the rejection
of the amended title, moved the bill
be referred To a select committee,
which carried.
Noble Dominis, Chairman of the
Enrolment Committee, reported
that His Majesty had been pleased
to approve the bill to confer juris-
diction on Police and District JUS
tees Of the District of Kona, Oahu,
with respect to the fire limits act.
Noble Cleghorn, at few minutes
to five, moved adjournment till 10
o'clock tomorrow, which carried,
