nish water to that part of kohala dis
trict which has none. There are two
mills in that part which have been very
good about giving water when their sup
ply has been sufficient, but they some
times need it all themselves. Hitherto
it has been necessary to 20 two or three
| miles to get water. | move the bill pass
| to engrossment.
Rep. Rickard-The intention of this
| bill is very good hut it is not a very easy
| thing to pass it at once. 1t will cost a

looking into. do not question the wis
dom OF the bill, but its importance de-
mands that it first be placed in the
hands of committee. move it be re-
ferred to the Committee on Public Lands
and Internal Improvements.

are limited to thirty-two feet in height
all over the universe. That portion o
the bill is nothing new at all. l move
1t pass to engrossment.
Noble Widemann-I favor reference t.

Rep. Bush thought the bill was a goo'
r one. The present law worked injustice
to property owners.

and to protect the public from travellin
agents who make verbal promises b
which the companies are not bound
The various American States have ha
to protect themselves against the sam

ance agents, and that favors the bill.
Noble Muller moved the bill be indie

, ! unconstitutional for one thing.
Noble Mccarthy believe in thi
bill. A short time ago an agent cam
here. travelled around praising his CON
pany at the expense of other companie
. with the result that good many peopl
threw up their policies with the MOTTO
that they were worthless. A law lik
this will put restrictions on these people
and it will be for the general benefit.
!, Noble Marsden-I don't think Nobl
u Muller is a judge as to whether the bi
is unconstitutional or not. 1t is draw
