AFTERNOON SESSION.


"road authorities" for minister of
the Interior" and passed as
amended.
Section ID. Each cantouier at
his work shall wear, as distinctive
sign, buckled on the left forearm,
a band of red cloth, with the num-
Der of his section affixed in large
black figures. A similar yellow
band shall indicate the chief can.
TONER'S.
Noble Burchardt moved to strike
out words "fore arm" and substi-
tute word EARN"
Rep. Paehaole moved to strike
out the entire section. People
would ridicule the road makers and
say, "See he's like dog; he's got
his tag on"
Noble j. M. Horner thought it
important to be able to distinguish
these men, and the red or yellow
ribbon on the arm is not sufficient;
therefore, he moved that each can
tonier carry a flag, by 4 it,, on
pole s #. 2 in. high, and on the
flag shall be printed in large letters
the word "cantonier."
Noble Baldwin moved the word
Excelsior" be printed on the flag.
Noble j. M. Horner thought the
people in Hamakua would not know
they had any cantoniers up there
unless they were distinguished in
this way and would be writing
down to the Minister complaining.
AS these men can't be seen by the
work they do like the boy hoeing
corn who had to mark the place
where he stopped so as to know
where to begin again), they must
have something bigger than a red
mark.
Noble Crabbe moved they be in
structed in military drill.
Noble Muller moved they wear
the uniform of the late Honolulu
Rifles and carry gun.
Rep. Marques said Noble Horn
er's plan of the flag was nothing
new, for it was already provided for
in the bill. The flag was of some
use, because the cantonier generally
tied up his dog to the pole.
Rep. Kahookano thought in a
country like this, where everybody
knew everybody else, this was I'M
necessary. Everyone would know
Noble Horner, for instance, without
tying yellow rag to him.
Noble Horner withdrew his
amendment, and would vote to
strike out the section and all the
sections in the bill.
Noble Kauhane thought the sec
ton was very well as it was. There
was need of some distinctive mark,
because each cantonier is a sort of
| policeman. He would suggest it be
band on the hat.
The word Store" was STRUCK out
and the section passed.
Section Is. The regulations of
the Minister of Interior shall pre-
scribe the necessary punishments
for dereliction of duty by the can
TONER'S, in fines, dismissal or other
wise, and also the cases in which the
cantoniers shall be removed OF
transferred to different sections.
Rep. Brown moved to strike out
the word "shall," and substitute
"may." Carried.
The section as amended passed.
Section 16 was stricken out.
Section II. The cantoniers may
be empowered to act as special
policemen in all what relates to the
police of the roads, or as otherwise
regulated by the Minister of interior
and the Attorney General.
| Rep. Brown moved to strike out
the end of the section, and to sub.
stitute the word "that" for "what. u
Carried.
The section passed rs amended,
| Noble Marsden moved to strike
out Sec. 18-"The Minister of the
Interior shall issue the necessary in
structions on road-making and road
keeping or repairing, and on the pc
lice regulations concerning public
roads and streets, for the use of the
cantoniers." These matters coult
very well be left to tho local roat
authorities. Carried.
| The next two sections passed.
| Noble j. M. Horner moved tt
strike out the preamble, which con
tanned nothing but what had Otter
appeared in the papers before thu
day of road boards. Carried.
The enacting clause and the bill
as amended passed, to be read {
third time Tuesday.
DISCRETION OF MARRIED PERSONS.
Third reading of bill relating t,

Rep. Paehaole believed there wa
