| Rep. Brown said claims were filed
with the Minister of the Interior. Ii he
and the land owner did not agree, COM
mission was appointed. This man had
slept on his rights. He had no legal
claim certainly. Ignorance of the law is
no excuse. The claimant is only lessee
with six years to run. The owner OF the
fee only received 5000. move that the
item be 800 only.
Rep. Kahookano said that the
committee found that the com
mission had been awarding damages te
tenants simply. The man next door
with 200 square feet less taken off his lot
was awarded $500. think the amount
awarded by the committee is not too
much.
Noble Widemann-In this case Mr.
Grieye lets land to Kealekai at $3.50 {
wear. Now that part OF the land is takeI
from him, Kealekai can recover hlmsel
from Grieve. There is no reason VI
should pay it.
Rep. Brown said the Chinaman VIII
got $500 lost some OF his store room, hi
: store had to be cut down and repaired
/ That is the reason he got such lar.
damages. Kealekai only lost SO mucl
land.
Rep. Rosa-This is just one of thos
, cases which the Legislature should loo

I inability to employ an attorney failed

amount is proper. If the House reject

forced into a law suit. He will be con
