The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1890-11-12
Rep. Nawsbi moved indefinite

Third reading of bill TO divide
Hama, Maui, into two judicial dis
tricts, and provide a justice for
each.
Rep. Kamai moved the bill pass.
Carried.
Third reading of bill to regulate
the importation of live stock.
Noble Crabbe moved that the bill
pass. Carried.
Third reading OF bill to permit the
Hawaiian Tramways Co. to use cleo
trio motive power.
Rep. Brown moved that the bill
he indefinitely postponed.
Noble Marsden moved that the
bill pass. He did not see why the
Honolulu tram cars could not be
run by electric traction, the same as
cars all through the United States.
Rep. Browns reason was that the
electric light company whose bill
was rejected yesterday was to fur
nish the tramways with power. Ii
the company was TO generate its
own power, that would be a reason
for indefinitely postponing this bill.
Another thing was that il the com
pany was to run overhead conduct
ors, these with the existing tele-
phone lines would make too much
street obstruction. If the bill com
PEELED the company to put its con-
ductors under ground it would be
all right.
Noble Marsden said the hill pro-
vidcd against interference with the
telephones. The company would al
its own expense establish metallic
circuits whereby the telephone SER
vice would be improved.
Noble Widemann was prepared
to vote for the bill if it was amend
ed so as to ensure the stipulations
of the hon. Noble.
Rep. Hookano supported the bill
AS member of the committee he
had ascertained that the object was
to dispense with the very expensive
horse power.
Minister Peterson moved ar
amendment, which Noble Marsder
accepted, making the prohibition Of
obstructing the street traffic more
positive.
Noble Macfarlane thought the
House should not sit on this mea
sure. The company was not max
ing enough to pay interest on it,
debentures, and the bill was to re
duce it's expenses. Members repre-
senting the two telephone companies
opposed the bill because the Traction
lines would interfere with the tele
phone wires. Their wires it wa
well known were in many places al
obstruction to traffic. AS nearl,
one half of the company's stock wa
held in Honolulu, the House shout,
avoid anything that would proven
the company improving its equip
ments.
Noble Widemann said the CON
pany owed him more than anybod
else, as he had seen their charte
through the Legislature just abou
as they wanted it. The Mutual re
| leph me Co. had given notice to tn
Minister of the Interior that the
would not carry the Government
electric light cables beyond a certai
date. With the electric light lin
that would have to he built, and tn
Tramways motor line, there woul
with the telephones be four electri
lines running through The city,
which he objected.
Noble j. M. Horner was in fave
of the bill. He was glad to see TIL
forces of nature pressed into til
service of man.
