that they should give an earnest or
their good faith. 1t was the pro
moters of the hill that had done OBJ
iectionablc lobbying, attending
there day after day and following
members up even to their homes.
One member had been promised
surveying on the line if he support
cd the bill,
Noble Widemann, said the bill
seemed to be in fair way for pass
age, and it behooved them, there
fore, to make it us good bill as
possible. lie did not approve of
the charactcrizing the amendment
as an effort to kill the bill. Although
lie did not agree with it in all points,
yet he regarded it as in the line of
salutary legislation. There were
places where it would he almost inn
possible TO build the stipulated
length proposed. lie moved an
amendment to the amendment in
accordance with his remarks, as lie
had not the amendment at hand to
CndDle Nun W NOIu III.
Rep. Brown moved that the sec.
ton pass as in the bill. The fran
chise extended was that granted in
1888, and that required the building
of the line within five years. If this
road was to be built by this COM
pany, it must be done under the law
of 1888. Another provision of that
law was that if the work passed into
the hands of q foreign company the
| franchise should be forfeited. That
was sufficient guard against specu
lating in the franchise.
Noble Cornwell moved another
amendment, which Noble Macfar-
lane accepted, that the company
build three miles year.
Rep. Lucas moved an amendment
to the amendment, that no less than
three miles bc constructed after the
first year.
Rep. Brown regarded these am
endmcnts rs altogether unnecessary,
in view OF the law already in exist
encc.
Rep, Lucas said his amendment
was only to satisfy certain members
who could not see the matter in The
same light.
Noble Macfarlane still adhered tC
the principle OF his amendment, ac'
cepting either the amendment o.
Noble Cornwell or Rep. Lucas.
Noble Widemann again suggested
his amendment. If the prcsen
law required the building in fv,
years, there was no earthly need TO
the proposed condition.
The President requested that TIL,
amendments be put in writing.
Rep. Bush supported the section
as in the bill and moved the pre-
vious question, which carried.
Noble Macfarlane read his amend
ment as amended by Noble Wide
mann and Rep. Lucas, that of TIL
former restoring the following
words after construct, viz, 81
, the Districts of Waianae, WMalua
koolauloa, and Koolanpolo, or an
of said Districts.
The amendment was lost, 2G
: %, and the section passed.
Rep. Kalua moved that Secs. 2
/ 6, inclusive, be indefinitely pos
poned, and moved the previou
question, which carried.

well taken.

/, second section (providing I'll

70 that submitted the bill.
&c Rep. Brown, as member of I'll
ii committee, explained that with
re the amendments il was still the b
III of the hon. Noble from .Hamakua.

IS that besides the enhanced value
