Noble Phillips said there was no need
OF reference to any committee. 1t was
perfectly simple. There was no niger
in the fence The bill was intended
principally for Honolulu
Noble J N. Horner-The bill doesn't
look as pretty as it did at first. Ii it
would interfere with the little coffee
shops in the country it would do a great
deal of harm.
Rep. Brown saw no need of sending
the bill TO committee. Ii the people
on the other islands want dirty coffee
shops they can have them by simply re-
quiring a Board of Health certificate
from residents Of Oahu only.
Noble Baldwin thought the bill would
be as good a thing for the other islands
as for Oahu. 1t would cost very little to
keep the coffee shops clean, and would
really improve their business.
Noble J. II. Horner-Do they all paw
license? Calls of Yes have no OBJ
lection then.
Rep. Kapaehaole-The bill does not
