show that the provision in the section
was necessary.
Rep. Dole in favor of his motion,
on the ground that there was no law
relative to the matter in question.
Rep. Hayselden then moved the
words according to law" he struck
out.
Rep. Dole was willing to have the
law amended in this respect.
Rep. Hayselden withdrew his
amendment.
Minister Gibson thought the mat
ter could be settled by inserting,
'are hereby required to Make"
etc., instead of, ''have made re-
turns" etc.
Rep. Dole agreed with that, with
the addition of, "as provided in sec.
33 of this act" which Minister
Gibson accepted.
Minister Dare held that the notice
in sec. SO was different one from
the one mentioned here. and that the
section was very proper as it stood.
Rep. Dole thought the Attorney
General had not been listening to
the discussion, as neither he nor
Rep. Hayselden had been speaking
of the notice but of returns.
Minister Gibson's amendment car
ried. and the section as amended
passed.
Sec. 81, amending sec. 45, con-
shutting a circuit judge and two
disinterested persons as a court of
appeal from taxes, assessors being
disqualified to sit in such court, was
read.
Rep. Hayselden moved to strike it
out, as the changes from the old law
were only slight.
Rep. Palohau moved to make it
read, "The several Police and Dis
trict Judges" as the Circuit Court
judges might be partial.
Rep. Richardson thought Police
Judges were as liable to partiality as
the others.
The motion to strike out carried.
Rep. Hayselden moved to strike
out the next two sections, as they
related to the same subject.
Carried.
Sec. "a, amending sec. 81, to pay
members of tax appeal bonds So a
day and actual travelling expenses,
was read.
Rep. Harselden moved to strike
it out.
Rep. Brown wanted to retain it,
and moved accordingly.
Rep. Kaunamano supported the
section, as SIS day already pro-
vided in the law was not enough to
cover travelling expenses in some
cases.
Rep. Thurston said "actual travel
ing expenses was an elastic term,
and moved to make it read SO a
day and strike out the provision for
travelling expenses.
Rep. Dickey supported the sec
ton.
Rep. Paehaole would strike it out.
The motion to strike out was lost,
and the section passed.
Sec. 25, amending sec. 81, gives
supervision of the collection of taxes
to the Governors, under the direc-
ton of the Minister of Finance;
also gives the Governors the power
of appointing tax collectors, with
the approval of the King in Cabinet
Council.
Rep. Dole moved to strike it out,
as it reduced Ministers to being
mere clerks with no responsibility.
Carried.
Sec. &c, amending sec. So, re-
quires from collectors a bond, with
two or more sureties, in penal sum
equal to the amount of taxes to be
collected by them.
Rep. Castle thought the sureties
should be owners of real estate, and
moved an amendment accordingly.
Rep. Dole supported the section,
referring to the difficulties collectors
had in getting security.
The amendment was lost and the
section passed.
Sec. 81, amending sec. 81, defines
the liability of collector and sureties
for the payment of all taxes, except
the school tax, on or before the last
day of December.
Rep. Dole wanted to consider a
bill introduced by himself, to amend
secs. SO and SO of chap. 43, laws of
1882.
The chair ruled that such could
not be done in committee of this
bill.
During a discussion on the point
of order, Rep. Aholo moved the
committee rise, report progress and
ask leave to sit again, which carried.
The house adopted the report and
then, at APO, adjourned till lC
o'clock tomorrow.
