RESOLUTIONS.
Rep. Rosa moved resolution that
the enrolment and revision commit
tee be authorized to employ compe-
tent persons to assist it in its work,
and that such persons hitherto en-
ployed by it be paid for their SER
vices. In supporting his resolution
he claimed that the work of the COM
mitlee was done cheaper this ses-
sion than formerly. Thus he knew
of the Appropriation Bill in former
sessions having cost $500 and $3.50,
while this session it had only cost
some thirty odd dollars to engross.
| Noble Mccarthy as chairman of
the committee on accounts explain
ed in effect that all the committee
wanted was authorization to APP
prove the accounts of the revision
committee.
The resolution passed.
Rep. Rosa read first time his
bill to exempt certain railway ma
terial from Customs duties. Read a
second time by title. He moved it
be referred to the railway commit
tee.
Rep. Brown moved it be indefin-
itely postponed. The House had
already given the Oahu Railway Co.
$500 mile year for five years,
besides other privileges, aud it was
too much to ask for exemption from
import duties.
Rep. Paehaole moved it be refer
red to the finance committee.
Rep. Rosa objected to tie finance
committee, as that would be giving
the bill black eye, the chairman of
that committee being opposed to
the railway. He spoke of the liberal
encouragement given to railways in
other countries.
Noble Macfarlane protested
against the remarks of the hon.
member. His record on committees
and in the House should be sutfi-
cient to protect him from such an
imputation of unfaIrness. If the
bill went TO that committee it would
have fair consideration. He hoped
the hon. member was satisfied with
his relations toward the company.
Before the question went TO the
committee he would say, so that
there should he no charge of unfair
ness afterward, that he was opposed
to the bill. The company had al
ready received a subsidy and inter
nal tax exemptions, and he consid-
cred it had got as much now as the
country could afford.
Noble Hind-More.
Noble Widemann ridculed the
measure and moved it be referred tC
the commerce committee.
Noble Macfarlane said he was also
on that committee.
Rep. Rosa disclained any often
sive intention.
Noble Muciarlane denied that ht
WAS an opponent of the Oahu Rail
way Co. He had supported giving
IL encouragement up To "a certain
point.
The hill was indefinitely post
poned.
