| Noble Widemann moved the bill
pass to engrossment. 1t was a SIM
pie bill and nobody who was not
ignorant of what pest this animal
was would vote against it. They
were paying bounty for killing
them in Australia.
Noble Parker moved the bill be
indefinitely postponed. There had
been rabbits in the country for
twenty or thirty years and they had
not done any harm.
| Noble Isenberg considered it
would he only courtesy to the intro
Queer (Noble Cornwell) to suspend
action on the bill till he was in the
House, or at the least refer it to a
committee. They should hear the
hon. Mobiles reasons for the bill. 1t
would be hard to forbid person
living in town from keeping a few
rabbits for his children, but of course
he should not let them run loose.
Noble Parker had it on good
authority that Noble Cornwell left
the House to get away from this
bill. Members having important
measures pending should be there
to look after them.
Rep. Nawahi said rabbits had
been introduced at Hilo many years
ago but they disappeared. Some.
thing in the climate seemed to be
against them. The committee should
insert clause to prohibit mongoose.
Noble Crabbe said that many
years ago two pairs of rabbits were
let loose on Meek's ranch on this
island, which bred for while but
shortly they all disappeared.
Referred to select committee.
