NEW BILLS.
His EXcellency Mr.. Gulick read a first
time an Act to extend the term of Commits
sion of Boundaries. Passed to second read
ing. Also, an Act to establish the grades
of streets and highways and the grades
and widths of sidewalks in the city of
Honolulu. His Excellency said the bill
was another one of the class of which they
had quite number, that required great
deal more study than seemed necessary at
the first glance, more especially by persons
whose attention had not been attracted to
subjects of that kind. As timber had been
cut and prepared for work of the kind
dealt with in the bill, on the recently
burned district it was important that this
measure should receive prompt attention.
He therefore moved that the bill be read
second time by its title and referred to the
Fire Limit Committee. Carried
Mr.. Baker read first time an Act to
provide for the keeping OF the accounts of
the Government In the Hawaiian and
English languages. Passed to second read
ing.
