lowing committees:
On lantana, TO report TO next l.e-

Rep. Brown presented the majo-
on the petition of tho owners of the
bark c. ID. Bryant. Taking into
consideration that the value of the
vessel was appraised in the neigh
borhood of $25 900, and the Minis
ter of Finance compromised as by
law authorized to Ito, for the sum
Of $1,000, the majority think that
| owners of the vessel should not com
| plain, the Government having thus
waived a sum in the neighborhood
of $50, 900. Another matter is that
one-half of the money has already
been paid out. While admitting
that other sums of money have been
paid back under authorization of
the Legislature, the majority do not
think that such action is polite, as
it might lead owners to be careless
in the inspection of their vessels, as
to secret or other places where
opium could be stored. They there
fore recommend that the petition be
LAID on the table. Signed by Cecil
Brown, +. G.. MacfarIane, A. S.
Wilcox.
Noble Muller moved the report be
laid on the table TO be considered
with the minority report.
Minister Brown moved the majo-
rity report be adopted. Carried.
Rep. Brown presented the report
of the select committee on the bill
TO repeal the Road Board Act, and
the bill for the appointment of road
supervisors. They recommend that
both bills be indefinitely post
poned. They are of opinion
that if the road boards were elected
by the people at each biennial cleo
ton, complaints that roads were only
kept in repair near sugar plantations
would be remedied. With that OBJ
ject in view the committee have pre-
pared amendments TO the law, one
of which will place the roads and
streets of the District of Kona,
Island of Oahu, in the hands of
road boards, the same as in the
other taxation districts of the islands.
AS the proposed amendments will
not become operative until after the
election of 1892, the present law
will remain in force until such time.
They submit bill containing the
proposed amendments. Signed by
Cecil Brown, w. II. Richard, Johr
f. Bush.
Rep. Brown moved that the report
be received and the new bill trans
, lated and printed. Carried.
