tee.
Rep. Castle on suspension of the
rules, read first time by title an

liens of mechanics and material
men.
Second reading of an act, as re-
ported from the fire limit committee,
to prevent the obstruction of the
streets of Honolulu, Lahaina, Wal
luku, Kahului and Hilo.
The rules were suspended and
reading through waived, and the
bill ordered to be considered section
by section.
Rep. Dickey objected to the first
section, because it did not define
the limits of Honolulu, and he did
not think the provisions of the bill
were necessary TO the country
| towns.
Rep. Castle believed the hon.
members objections would disap-
pear on hearing the amendments
submitted by the committee. The
objections to the bill applying to
country towns did not have the
same force with regard to this bill
as to that relating to the construc-
tion of buildings.
The section passed. 1t forbids
the placing of goods or any material
on the streets, sidewalks or wharves,
except as permitted hereinafter in
the act.
Rep. Dickey moved to amend the
second section, by striking out the
reference to stree, bush or vine,"
so that it should only apply to
other projections; clause being
added to forbid anyone allowing
branches to overhang the street,
etc., within ten feet of the ground.
Rep. Kaai moved the section
pass as in the bill.
Minister Gulick seconded this
motion, saying the section was only
explanatory and it was not proper
to burden it with further cxplana-
tions.
Rep. Thurston thought the Sec
ton needed explanations. Its effect
would be to cause the destruction OF
ornamental and shade trees that il
would be desirable to preserve.
Rep. Brown supported the sec
ton, as simply intending to pre-
vent actual Instructions of thu
streets with overhanging vegetation
Rep. Dole considered the section
needed amendment, because, as i
stood, it might work hardship. HI
moved to amend by inserting afte
swine" the words provided sucl
tree, vine or other growth shall oh
struct the streets"
, Rep. Dickey withdrew his amend
ment in favor of that of Rep. Dole
as being shorter and covering tn
3 point fully.
= Rep. Castle did not consider vege
r table growths would he interfee'
@ with under the section except whe
: they were nuisance.
