one life having been lost under this sys-
TEN.

on the table, and that bill he has pre-
pared be substituted. 1t is entitled an
Act TO amend section chapter So SEES
sion Laws of 1888. The bill introduced
by Noble Widemann is all preamble,
whereas mine is very simple one and
comes right to the point. l move it take
the place Of the amendment.
Rep. Brown moved both bills be re-
ferred to a committee. With regard to
the company keeping the road in repair
two feet on either side OF the track, that
has mysteriously dropped out Of the sub

is the law on which the bill is made. l
have no objection to refer to q COM

would kill the bill as there are no streets
On the official grade except Halekau-
villa.

Brown, Paehaole, Acknowledgement and
Cornwell.

said it should be done forthwith.
Rep. Paehaole moved the opinion be
laid on the table to be considered with
the bill Thursday.

rial whether the opinion is printed or
