made for other people why not for me
Rep. MARQUES thought it would be a
waste OF time to send it TO committee.
He moved the bill be engrossed.
Rep. Bush thought the bill was a good
one. The present law worked injustice
TO property owners.
Rep. Lucas-On the Waikiki side of
Alakea street there are a great many
dllapidated shanties which the owners
cannot afford to replace by brick
buildings. l would like to have the pc
tition read. There will be no danger
from fire from low wooden buildings on
that side OF the street.
Noble Crabbe-I was one of the big
gest losers by the fire which swept
through Chinatown. My rent roll was
SS,4 475 a year and it was reduced to
nothing. 1 am in favor of passing this
bill.
Noble Widemann-I wanted the fire
limit extended, there was hard fight in
this House but it was lost. Subsequent
TO the fire We got reasonable fire limit.
think it ought not to be changed. l
do not think that any good sound rea-
sons have been advanced. A friend OF
mine has an empty lot on the corner of
Hotel and Alakea street and wanted to
put up a wooden building. If this bill
passes / shall try and get law passed
for the benefit of my lot.
The bill was passed to engrossment to
be read on Thursday.
Bill No. 20, licensing life insurance
agents.
Rep. Bush moved bill be read by title.
Carried.
Noble Marsden said the bill was de-
signed 10 protect life insurance agents
and to protect the public from travelling
agents who make verbal promises by
which the companies are not bound.
The various American States have had
to protect themselves against the same
evils. The bill affects none except insur-
ance agents, and that favors the bill.
Noble Muller moved the bill be inde-
hnitely postponed. He thought it was
unconstitutional for one thing.
Noble Mccarthy believe in this |
bill. A short time ago an agent cane |
here. travelled around praising his COM |
pany at the expense of other companies |
with the result that good many people |
threw up their policies with the notion |
that they were worthless. A law like |
this will put restrictions on these people, |
and it will be for the general benefit.
Noble Marsden-I don't think Noble
Muller is Judge as to whether the bill |
is unconstitutional or not. 1t is drawn
by a very able lawyer who says it is not
| agree with the hon.
that life insurance is a good
hing. 1t is very good thing, but peo-
rle don't want to be swindled out of
heir money, as stated by Noble Nc
Carthy. know OF a case where gen.
.ieman was very much taken in by one
lf these travelling agents.
Noble Widemann-As my noble friend |
las just said with these agents it is all |
n the gift of CAB. There was one here a
ew months ago. 1t was wonderful how
Ie could persuade people to insure in his
company. Nr. President, | have my
ioubts as to the advisability of ornament
ng our statute books with this act. |
