in English, and the interpreter read it in
Hawaiian.
Mr.. Castle moved that the Hawaiian
version be changed to correspond with the
English, the word Smith" being struck out
anu IhduildhCt illSCltSu.
Mr. Palohau said the section provided
for fre-proof buildings to be built. He
would like to know who was going to build
them, the Government or the persons who
own the land.
Mr.. Dole rose to a point of order; there
was motion before the House made by
Mr.. Castle

spond.
Hon. C. R. Bishop moved the section
pass as amended. Carried.
Section two was then read.
After a few slight amendments, Mr..
ried.
Section three.
Mr.. Dole moved that the words "and
completed within ninety days" be stricken
out. The regulation as to time, he thought,
was useless.
His Excelency the Attorney General
did not agree with Mr.. Dole. If the build
ing was not completed the owner would
have to get a new permission, otherwise
the owners might block the street with
building material.
Mr. Dole said his amendment did not
intend to leave material in the streets
The blocking of streets would occur just as
much in building fre-proof buildings as
wooden ones. The Minister of the Interior
had already introduced 4 bill on that
point. He thought it smacked little of the
dark ages for man who is a little longer
in finishing his building than another one
to be punished by fine or imprisonment or
both He would not like to see their Elk
cellencies the Minister of the Interior and
the Attorney General in prison garb.
His Excellency Mr.. Guliok said the pro-
visions of this Act, which would apply to |
any town, are not arbitrary. The regula- |
tons relating to the construction of build |
ings were taken directly from the ordi- |
nances Of the city of San Francisco, and it |
was hardly likely that city was going back
to the dark ages.
On Mr. Dole's amendment being put, it !
was lost, and the section passed.
Section 4 was passed with few verbal
amendments.
