was drawn up and presented as a substi-
-ute and shorter one than the one intro
luced by the Minister of the Interior. He
argued that the principle of the bill was
wrong. 1t would be as reasonable to allow
the grocer or coal dealer to have lien
upon real estite for unpaid bills. The ,
of the Water Works might
issue a circular notice to delin-
|
within certain time, and charge one or
two dollars for turning it on again. The
only amendment required to section 191
was to insert at the end the words "Hono-
zulu and other places in the Kingdom"
This bill would create confusion and
number of liens.
Mr.. Castle said the bill before the House
was prepared by the Fire Limit Committee
as substitute for bill introduced by the
late Minister of the Interior, and the in
tentiOn of it was to carry out the principle
in the Minister'S bill by making arrears of
water rates a lien upon property. He
thought the troubles pictured by the At
torney General as likely to follow the
passage of the bill would be found more
imaginary than real.
Hon. Mr.. Bishop said he was a member
Of the committee and signed the report.
and. Upon looking it over again he
thought it was not necessary. The law al
ready in force. with a slight amendment
extending authority to other places in the
Kingdom, would be quite sufficient There
was no doubt the neglect or misconduct of
a former employee of the Bureau of the
Water Works had led to this act. There
was no reason why sufficient power should
not be vested in the Minister of the Inte-
rior to collect dues for water. He moved
that the words land other places in the
" be inserted
Mr.. Thurston moved the words cit shall
become lien etc, be struck out, and Of
tered an amendment in its place.
Mr. Aholo favored the Hon. Mr.. Bish-
ops motion. The rule of cutting off the
water should be strictly applied, then
water rates would be paid. They ought to
be collected also at the time they fall due
There not being a quorum present, the
House adjourned at Ala to 10 O'Clock
