Noble Maciarlane-I think it positively
necessary that the fire limit in that par;
OF the city should be contracted. The
buildings there are residences, and il
would lie hard to compel them to replace
their houses with brick buildings.
Rep. Lucas-There is only one fire.
proof building on the street, and the
stores in it have never been opened.
Noble Isenberg- The member from
Honolulu says part of the esplanade is
in that part. This Minister of the In
terror may not allow wooden buildings to
be put up there, but another might.
Rep. Lucas stated he was mistaken in
saying part of the esplanade would be
included.
The motion to indefinitely postpone
was lost The amendment of the Com
mittee was carried.
The bill went back to the Engrossing
Committee.
Third reading OF the Act transferring
Kahoolawe to the Waikiki district.
Noble w. Y. Horner moved indefinite
postponement. The passage of the bill
would be treating his constituents with
great discourtesy. l have here a map
showing that it is not nearer, as has been
stated, from the island to Wailuku than
to Lahaina
A number of members inspected the
map and others shouted "ninau."
Noble Macfarlane = There seems to
have been an onslaught on Lahaina
this session. If the town itself is not re-
moved | shall be much surprised. 1t is
about time to call a halt, and l move
this bill be rejected.
Noble Won Tempsky-A great deal has
been said about moving the island to the
town of Waikiki. | only want it moved
to the district. l can't see what differ
ence it can make to Lahaina.
Noble Crabbe-I was in Lahaina in
81 and 80 and used to 60 to Kahoolawe
in the morning and back in the after
noon
Noble J. NJ. Horner objected to the
filibustering way in which this bill had
been brought back into the House. The
people were not considered in this mat
ter at ALL Such doings ought to be
frowned upon by the House. If you al
low this way of changing boundaries how
many of your districts will someone
want to change before the session is
over? Lahaina was once the Holy of
NOTES.-THE sanctum sanctorum. We
ought not to allow her to be clipped off
in this way. move the previous ques-
ton. Carried.
The motion to indefinitely postpone
was lost.
On the passage of the bill the ayes and
noes were called.
Noble Isenberg wished to be excused.
Noble Macfarlane objected to members
being excused. The interests of La
haina are concerned and no man ought
to shirk.
Noble Walbridge thought it just as bad
for members to be absent from the
House as to wish to be excused from
voting.
Minister Peterson - There is no ques-
ton of the interests of Lahaina. They
are not affected in the slightest degree
by the bill.
Noble Isenberg-I can't see that La
haina has one iota Of benefit from that
island. 1t makes no difference whether
the Court is held in Lahaina or Waikiki.
That is the reason l don't wish to vote.
The ayes and noes were taken as fol-
lows.
