The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1886-07-07


Mr. Brown was OF the opinion that thii
Legislature ought not to pay for the bind
lag. 1t was a good thing to have then
turned into the Interior Department. The
first volume of Hawaiian Reports in Ha-
waiian was very scarce; in fact. he had
never seen a copy.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson said this was
translated by RagsdnIe.
The resolution was then put and carried.
EVENING STRINGS
Mr.. kaai offered resolution that from
and after to-day the House meet Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings OF each
week, beginning at O'Clock, and so CON
tiuue up to the end Of the session.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare offered Us an
amendment that the time TO be occupied
by each member TO speak be limited to five
minutes unless specially allowed"
Mr.. Thurston said if they came in the
evening they would not accomplish any
thing; they would be too tired. BY s
O'Clock there would be some very sleepy
members.
Mr.. kaunamano moved that the resolu-

the members, he said, commenced their
duties quite early in the morning. 1t
would perhaps work well for few days.
II they sat here until 10 or half-past 10
o'clock at night the members would be late
in the morning. 1t is written somewhere
that the night was made for the devil and
his imps to do their work, and in another
place it says, "Watchman, what of the
night?" If they attempt night sessions they
will have to employ Waterman to keep
the members awake. The bodies of the
members will suffer with the extra work.
The resolution was indefinitely post
'poned.
NOTICE OF BILL.
Mr.. Kaulukou gave notice of bill to
provide for the establishing of a military
and naval academy.
THE APPROPRIATION BILL.
Mr.. KaulukOu presented a resolution
that the Appropriation bill be the order
for each day before the House from to-
day and on.
Mr.. Thurston thought if they were to
devote their time exclusively to the Appro-
priation bill the other bills would be cast
aside.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare said there was
no question of greater importance before
the House than the Appropriation bill.
The good sense of the House could be de-
pended upon, if there was bill of greater
Importance, to have it taken up.
The resolution was lost.
THE FIVE MINUTE RULE.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare presented the
following resolution:
RESOLVED, That hereafter, until the close
of this session, members shall be allowed
each five minutes only for delivery of
speech, and upon call of time the member
speaking shall take his seat, unless by con-
sent of the Assembly his time be extended.
The resolution was adopted.
NEW BILL.
Mr.. Kaulul1ou read first time bill to
authorize the Minister of the Interior to
pay to Mrs. A. Swan the sum of 5000 for
her undivided interest in certain prem
ises called Ulokohea, situate in Homo
lulu. Passed to second reading.

Carried.
Third reading of an Act to prevent the
obstruction of the streets in Honolulu, La
haina, Wailuku, Kahului and Hilo.
DR.. Wight moved that section 25 be
changed so as to read as recommended by
the committee to whom referred: "Section
25-No person shall play at ball, pitch
quoits or fly kites in or upon any street,
lane, alley or sidewalk"
His Excellency Mr.. Dare said that on
reading the bill he found substantial con-
fict of authority between the Harbor Mas
ter and Road Supervisor. 1t would be bet
ter if the bill was referred back to the COM
mittee for revision, and he made a motion
to that effect.
The motion was put to the House, and
carried by a vote of Is to- 8.
Second reading of an Act to amend Sec
tons l, 6 and Is of an Act, entitled "An
Act to regulate proceeding in bankruptcy
in the Hawaiian Islands," approved 10Th
day of August, 1884, and to add another
section to said Act, to be called section 15A.
Mr.. Brown moved the bill be considered
section by section. Carried.
Sections IL, 8 and were passed without
Mr.. Brown moved the insertion of a new
section, to be called No. 5.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare said that after
reading the bill through he found it harsh,
cruel and unchristianlike. 1t was a viola
ton of the spirit of the age, and had
backward tendency. 1t was designed to
apply to a certain class of debtors, but once
on the statutes it would be found to apply
to everyone. 1t would be bad law, and it
was his duty to point out the objections.
On motion of Hon. Mr.. Cleghorn, the bill
was referred to a special committee.
A BILL APPROVED.
His Excellency Governor Dominis re-
ported that it had pleased His Majesty the
King to approve and sign an Act to confer
Jurisdiction on the Police and District
Courts in the district of Kona, Honolulu.

Act to regulate the erection and repairing
of buildings in the city of Honolulu within
certain fire limits
