The same committee reported on
Bill So relating to the establishment
of a university for the Hawaiian
kingdom. The committee deemed the
bill to be good one, but the present
state of the treasury will not permit
it, and they also thought that this is
not the proper time for erecting such
an institution. The committee recon-
mend to lay the bill on the table.
Tabled for consideration with the
bill.

under twenty years of age from walk
ing on the streets after dark. The

Noble Thurston, from the Public
Lands Committee, reported Petition
100, praying for $1,000 to build water
head in Waimea, Kauai, for the bene-
fit of certain residents there. If the
Legislature should adopt the policy
of making water-heads for private
parties they would open up field for
expenditure which would practically
have no limit. The committee were
unable to see why the Treasury should
pay for building a water-head for
these petitioners any more than for
the owners of the several hundred
other water bitches scattered through
out the country, and they therefore
recommended that the petition be laid
on the table. (Signed by all the COM
noittee).
