Rep. Kahookano, from the Judiciary
Committee, reported on the bill to amend
Sections Is and IA Of the Session Laws
OF 1888, relating to impounding estrays.

law that says pigs and hogs shall be shot
when the owner is not known, and also

second section, reducing the fee, pass.

! report.

ports be adopted.

they do not know who the owner is, they
can shoot them.
