The amendment of Noble WIDE
mann as amended by Noble Smith,
was carried
Rep. Paehaole moved to refer the
bill to a select committee. Lost.
The amendment to allow a double
track on Fort street, from Queen
street to the water front, and along
the water front, was lcarried, and the
! whole section carried as amended.
Section , was considered and
! passed rs read.
Noble Widemann moved to re-
consider the section, that he might
amend by striking out the words,
"to abide by. observe and perform
the said conditions"
The Attorney General spoke
against this amendment, as it would
surrender all rights of individuals or
the Government to bring suit against
the company for any damages that
might accrue, as, for instance, if
| they should not maintain the road
flush with the rail, and by so doing
an accident should happen, there is
no remedy at law.
Noble Young said it was not obli-
gatory on the company now to keep
the road flush with the rails. (His
attention was called to section
where it expressly states that they
should do SOY. lie thought the
Acknowledgement had a serious
nightmare in regard to this road.
Rep. Kinney said if the Govern
ment had contract with the COM
pany, it should be legal and bind
ing one, and if any concessions are
made it should be in favor of the
Government. rhe Attorney-Gen-
eral is perfectly right in wanting
the rights of the public protected.
The motion to reconsider was lost.
Section 3 was read and passed as
in the bill.
Section 4 was read, and the Minis
ter of the Interior moved to amend
by making the proviso, that maca-
dam shall be furnished by the Gov
eminent when it has any on hand.
This provoked hot discussion.
Noble Young said that the CON-
pany should not be held to the con-
tract when the Government could
not furnish the stone for repairs.
Rep. Kinney moved to amend by
+, adding the words THAT when the
. Government has no material on
hand, the company shall have the
use of the steam crusher and stone
from the Government quarry"
, Minister Thurston said that Noble
: Young seemed opposed to any
+ amendment that protected the Gov
+ ernment, and favored any amend
@ ment that granted the railway COM
: pany any concession.
q Noble Smith spoke against the
amendments and said that he die
-. not think it wise to allow that com
"a pany or any other the use of Gov
eminent tools or machinery.

If of referring the section to the Min
