SClNts
Noble Bishop thought the amend
ment would not be out of place, as
an architect or builder was likely to
be appointed anyway by one or
other of the parties.
Rep. Castle supported the amend /
ment, from his experience Of an
architects charge for arbitration
services.
Rep. Dickey suggested a verbal
change to make it read that the ap-
plicant shall "appoint one of such
Board, and the Minister of Interior
shall appoint another of such Board,
and the two so appointed shall select
the third member thereof" This
was accepted by Rep. Dole, and
carried.
The section passed as amended.
Rep. Brown moved to insert the
word "also" and strike out other
words, to make the fourth section
agree with the previous amendments
to the bill, as follows: "The pro-
visions of this act shall also apply
to the erection, moving or placing of
all buildings hereafter to be erected
anywhere within the kingdom, to be
used as churches, school houses.
town halls, or places of assembly,
theaters, skating Kinks or hotels"
Rep. Castle moved to make it
read, after "school houses" )" "court
houses, hotels, or other places of
assembly"
These amendments carried, also
the section as amended.
Rep. Thurston moved to insert
new section as follows: ''Section
5-The provisions of this act shall
not apply to any building costing
less than $1,000" lie held that
there was no possible danger from
small and cheap buildings. All this
red tape would cost poor man more
than his building.
Rep. Dickey opposed this amend
ment, as it would be necessary that
the Minister of Interior should have
power 70 prevent buildings being
crowded together.
Rep. Dole was III favor of the
new section proposed. This act was
not intended for sanitary purposes,
but to prevent large buildings from
being weakly or poorly constructed
so as to endanger life. He was not
very much interested in the bill q u
whole, as there was not the same
necessity for such Il law in this
country. where houses were rarely
more than two stories high, as in
large cities elsewhere with their
buildings of many stories.
The new section carried.
Minister Neumann moved to name
the original fifth section the sixth.
Carried. He also moved verbal
amendment, to make the section
correspond with the previous Sec
tions, which was carried, and then
the section as amended.
Noble Bishop moved a new Sec
ton to define the limits under the
act as follows: ''Section z. For
the purposes Of this Act the City of
Honolulu shall comprise that por-
ton of Kona District, in the Island
of Oahu, within the following limits
The Kalihi stream on the west, the
Manoa or Kalia stream on the east
the sea in front and extending
mauka to distance of three miles
inland from the sea-"
The sixth and seventh sections
were altered to eighth and ninth re
spectively, and with the enactins
, clause and title were passed, ant
then the bill as amended, bein.
{ ordered for third reading on Satur
