Minister Gibson said it would be
obvious why he did not sign the re-
port, being President of the Board
Of Education, but it met with his
cordial approval.
The report was laid on the table
to be considered with the Appro-
priation Bill.
Rep. Brown presented the follow
ing question to the Minister of
Finance -
hereby ask that His Excellency
the Minister of Finance furnish this
house in writing with the names of
all tax collectors appointed during
the last biennial period, who were in
default or who failed to pay over all
taxes collected by them within the
time limited by law, with the names
of such defaulting tax collectors,
bondsmen and the amount of money
made good by such bondsmen, and
If any tax collector is still in de-
fault, the amount still unpaid and
due to the Government.
RESOLUTIONS.
Minister Gibson read first time
an act to relieve certain articles of
import from customs duties. The
article are cocoanut products, shells,
and South Sea goods generally. On
suspension of the rules, the bill
was read second time by title.
The introducer said it would be re-
membered that in his report as
Minister of Foreign Affairs he had
recommended that this trade he
encouraged. AS it was they were
getting no duty from those things,
but by making this free port for
this kind of goods they would make
it an entrepot and rendezvous for
the trade. He moved the bill he re-
ferred to the select committee on
tariff changes, which carried.
Rep. Kalua presented resolution
that whereas the Judiciary Com
mittee recommended that the petit
ton of one Kunukau, for royal
patent to land, be granted: that the
Secretary be instructed to get a
copy of the survey of said land
from the Government Survey, and
give it to the Minister of Interior,
so that the patent might issue.
Rep. Castle did not see that the
recommendation of the committee
constituted an authorization but he
would suggest that the Minister, be-
fore taking any steps, should make
all due enquiry into the matter.
Over in the Survey office all the
particulars were filed.
The resolution passed.
Rep. Kaunamano presented reso-
luton that the Secretary, before
adjournment for the day, hand over
all petitions, etc., on roads and
bridges to the select committee on
that subject. Carried.
Rep. Thurston, on suspension OF
the rules, presented petition from
eight persons in Maui, praying fol
1925 each due them for working on
the roads. The road Supervisor had
been changed, and the new one did
not feel obliged to recognize the
claim. He moved the petition be
referred to the Minister of Interior
which carried.
Rep. Kaunamano presented re-
solution that $500 be appropriated
for rebuilding a bridge at Waihaka
South Kohala, carried away in 8
storm. Laid on the table for con.
sideration with the Appropriation
Bill.
Minister Gibson rose, as Presi
dent of the Board of Education, tt
say that the examinations of the
Government schools of the city were
proceeding, and he desired to be
present, and would like as many
members as could to go too. HI
had an invitation from Rev. Alex
Macintosh to attend the examina
tion of the Royal School tomorrow
and the Forts street School exercises
were taking place to-day. AS abou
the most interesting portion of tn
examinations took place at O'Clock
he would suggest that when tn
house adjourned it should do SO til
2 o'clock. What he asked for
however, was leave of absence
few hours for himself.
Rep. Kaulukou stated that, il
addition to the reasons given, doubt
less many of the members had i'm
portant foreign correspondent
awaiting them in the Post Office
and therefore he moved the hous
now (at 11;25) take recess till
o'clock. Carried.
