the treatment which he Government
has received at the hands of its
agents in the matter of the loan

formation which is desired, we do |
not recommend such suits at pre- |
sent. Respectfully submitted,

cuss it. Bill 122 was taken up and
considered section by section.
Rep. Kamauoha moved TO strike
out section of the bill and insert
section l of bill a, which grants
the franchise to B. f. Dillingham;.
Rep. Kinney spoke in favor Of
such a change.
The Acknowledgement spoke in
favor of the bill as it is, but most
decidedly wanted Mr.. Dillingham; to
have the first chance to obtain the
franchise.
Rep. Z. Brown spoke in iavor of
granting the franchise to B. f. Dill

1 by inserting after the word ''or-
ganised" the words ''by B. f. Dill
lingham and his associates or with
such other corporation or corpora
tions.'' Also to give the exclusive
right for three years.
Noble Widemann was at a loss to
know how the name of b. +. Dill
lingham had been lost from this bill.
1t was in it when presented to the
IJoprn n,,l ,,ln,, ~ frnn, tb n
committee. He should support the
motion TO again insert the name of
B. f. Dillingham;, but he could not
make up his mind to support the
amendment to grant an exclusive
franchise for period of thirty years,
because then Mr.. Dillingham; could
be thirty years building this road.
