the date of its approval.
Mr.. Hayselden said he could not see why
the bOatmen in Honolulu should pay twice
as much more for their licenses as the
boatmen in other places paid.
Mr.. Richardson moved the bill pass to
engrossment This bill made no change
in the old law except to add the harbor of
Kahuui
Mr.. Hayselden moved that the license
for Honolulu be reduced to the same as for
the other places.
Mr.. Kalua said that the reason for this
difference in license was there was con-
siderable more business to be done in Hon
Olulu harbor.
Mr.. Hayselden said the boatmen in
Honolulu had complained to him of the
high license. At Lahaina, Hilo and Ka-
hului versels stay out iii the roadway, but
i'll Honolulu they come up alongside the
wharf, consequently there is nothing to be
made by the boat owners. The only profit
they had was when men-of-war ships were
in port. They got no passengers from the
steamers Kinau, Likelike, Malulani, etc.
The only object of his amendment was
that everyone should be treated alike.
Mr.. Kaai said that at Kahului the boats
belonging to the Likelike take passengers
ashore. The boatmen there wanted to get
a license SO as they could make charge,
and that would probably stop the steam
er's boats from running.
MIR. Aholo said he had preferred bill
similar to this one, but Mr. Kaulua was
first in the field. The bill was simply to
license shore boats, and the steamers
boats would still run.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Haysel
den was put and carried, making the Ii
cense fee at all places for four-oared boats
So, and for boats with less than fonr oars,
$4
Mr.. Kaulukou moved the bill pass to en-
as amended.
Mr.. Thurston moved the bill be indef-
nitely postponed. Lost.
The bill passed as amended, and was
ordered to be read a third time on next
Tuesday.
Second reading of an Act to regulate the
of Cinnamon.
On motion of Mr.. Thurston, the bill was
referred to the Committee on Commerce.
Second reading of an Act to provide that
all persons convicted by Police and Dis
trict Justices work out their sentences in
the districts where they are convicted.
Mr.. Kaunamano, the introducer of the
bill, said he noticed some defects in it
therefore he moved it be referred to the
Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Kaulukou moved it be referred to
the Finance Committee.
Mr. Aholo did not object to its being re-
;erred to the latter committee, still he
thought the Judiciary Committee was the
proper one.
The bill was referred to the Judiciary
At 1903, on motion of Mr. Kalua, the !
House adjourned until 10 o'clock Monday
