pone' was lost.
Rep. Richardson amendment to
the amendment carried, and then
Rep. Thurston's amendment us
amended.
Rep. Paehaole moved to insert
after Honolulu" the words, land
they shall serve without pay"
Reps. Aholo and Thurston opposed
the amendment, because the Super
intendent of Public Works had his
salary granted separately, so that it
would make the section incongruous
TO insert such provision in addition
to the amendments before the house.
The amendment was lost.
Rep. Kaulukou moved TO insert
after Honolulu" the words, "and
other towns and cities in the king
DOM"
Rep. Dickey objected strongly to
the proposal. The Minister of In
terror had now power to regulate
grades of all highways in the king
dom. Although he believed that the
power in question extended over the
streets and sidewalks of Honolulu,
yet the Minister desired the bill to
bolster him up in n particular re-
spect. There might be something
in the bill to give the Minister power
to do something against the interests
of the people.
Rep. Castle thought the proposed
amendment was taking time by the
"fetlock," as he. had heard someone
say.
Rep. Dickey said the amendment
would be incompatible with succeed
ing sections of the bill.
Noble Bishop opposed the amend
ment because it would confuse the
intention of the bill, and because
there was no necessity for extending
the provisions to other towns. 1t
was time enough TO provide for them
in a similar way when the necessity
arose.
Rep. Kaulukou did not think the
amendment would hurt the bill.
Rep. Dole was not in favor of the
amendment. If they attempted to
pass law for the future, when the
occasion to apply it arose it might
be found not to fit.
The amendment was lost.
Rep. Dickey moved to further
amend the section as amended, by
adding the words, Excepting the
Superintendent of Public Works. 4"
Carried. The section then passed
as amended, reading as follows, the
insertions being given in quotation
marks:-
Section /. 1t shall be the duty
of the Minister of the Interior to
appoint commission of three civil
engineers, Zone of whom shall he
the Superintendent of Public
Works." to establish the grades of
all streets and highways, and the
grades and widths of all sidewalks
thereon, in said City of Honolulu !;
any vacancy on said commission
shall be filled Immediately. Said
commissioners, or any of them, may
be removed for cause by the Min
lister of Interior. "Such commits
sioners shall be paid out of the reg
ular appropriation for the Survey
Department, excepting the Super
intendent of Public Works."
| f1he -secQnd section, providing
that the commissfon--shail survey
and make plans and proiiles of the
streets, with their grades, ETC.,
passed.
From the third section, providing
for the keeping of plans and proiiles
made as above, as the official map,
Rep. Castle moved to strike out the
words "and sewers" as, the bill not
providing for the grading or estab-
fishing of sewers, the term might
make judicial trouble. On the At
torney-General pointing out that the
words were only directory, the
amendment was not passed.
The fourth section passed as fol
lows, the word "by" being struck
out from before "the Kalihi" on
motion of Minister Neumann:-
Section 4. For the purposes OF
this Act the City of Honolulu shall
comprise that portion of the Kona
district, in the Island of Oahu, with,
in the following limits: The Kalihi
stream on the west, the Manoa OF
Kalia stream on the east, the sea in
front, and mauka all highways to Q
distance of three miles inland from
the sea.
The fifth clause, repeating con
flicting acts, the erecting clause
and the title, were passed, and theI
the bill as amended, and the thir(
reading fixed for Thursday next.
Minister Neumann moved that th'
bill to tax Chinese residents b,
taken from the order of the day ant
read second time by its title il
order to be referred, which carried
and, on motion of Rep. Castle, th
bill was referred to a select commit
tee, together with all petitions relat
