l.. Y. Jones on lne lOWn 10 De plo-
vided for. 1t Furnishes people who
work on the wharves or near the
wharves, and how were they going
to find out where "near the wharves"
was-a mile or half a mile away!
lie did not think Hawaiians were
afraid of foreigners, as he had been
told there were no men equal to
Ilawaiians on the wharves.
The motion was lost and the bill
passed to second reading in its
order.
Rep. Kalua presented resolu-
ton that the Minister of Finance
state to the house on or before
Tuesday next, the indebtedness of
the Government, the persons to
whom debts are due, the amounts
due in each case, the dates on which
the debts are due, and the interest
due on each debt. Carried.
Rep. Kaa read first time an act
to repeal sec. 81, Civil Code, relat-
ing to licenses.
Rep. Palohau read first time an
act to impose n license on people
who take mortgages on land. The
license fee is 500.
Rep. Paehaole presented resolu-
ton that the Minister of Interior re-
port in writing to this house on
Monday whether the lease of certain
Government land on Molokai was
made at auction. lie said the
lot contained over two thousand
acres, and, il it had been
put up at auction, would have eX-
cited eager competition, so that the
revenue would have been benefited.
Rep. Kalua said that last session
there was a resolution similar to this
introduced. and the Minister gave a
reply, in which this very land was
included, and it was shown that the
lease was made during the incum-
bency of a previous Minister Of
Interior, Mr.. Bush. He had no doubt
the land would bring $500 year,
| instead of Sl50 as now, if it had
been put up at auction. He did not
think the resolution would have the
effect intended. The only way would
be to order the Minister to take legal
steps to set the lease aside.
Rep. Richardson moved that the
resolution be laid on the table.
Rep. kaulukou thought the reso-
luton should be passed. Perhaps
the members constituents wished
him to ask the question.
The resolution was tabled.
Rep. Castle moved, and it was
carried, that the new rule just
adopted be printed on slips to be
pasted in the books.
