day.
Third reading of Bill 22S, relating
to fees of executors, administrators
and guardians. The bill passed.
Third reading of Bill 245, providing
further appropriation of $4,000 for
roads and bridges of Honolulu.
Rep. Kamauoha moved $4,000 in
place of $4,000.
Rep. Smith said that the districts
of Hilo and Koloa were also suffering
from bad roads. The materials for
the $4,000 steel bridge at Wailua
stream, Kauai, were rusting from
lack of funds. Taxes for roads for this
district would amount to about $780,
600 for this period.
Rep. Waipuilani said that his dis
trict needed money for their roads
and road building should not be linn
tied to Honolulu alone. He spoke in
high terms of the Honolulu Road
Board and especially the Road Super
visor, but the present financial cir
cumstances would not permit fur
ther increase.
The motion to amend to $35, 900 was
carried.
The bill then passed as amended.
Second reading of Bill pa, an Act
to license the distilling of spirits.
Rep. Smith moved to Indefinitely
postpone the bill. He said that Homo
lulu did not want a distillery estab-
lished here. The bill was of such
Importance that it could not we'll be
considered at this late date. 1t was
in the Interest of the country that this
bill should not pass.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox favored passing
the bill, as it had been carefully pre-
pared by the Temperance Committee.
He said that distilleries were estab-
lished in Belgium, Germany, France,
England, America and other coun-
tries, and Hawaii could not claim her
self holier than those powerful ma
tions. 1t would enrich the treasury
to have distillery established here
instead of importing spirits from
abroad. Catholic monks have been
distilling ram for generations, and
the Pope prevented them from sell
ling their rights to an English SYM
dictate. If the Church of Rome, the
oldest church in the world, favored it,
it was useless for petty religious sects
which owe their origin to the Church
of Rome to oppose it.
Rep. Pua spoke of distilleries in Ma
deira, and how the revenues were in
creased thereby.
Rep. White said that Hawaii's eX-
ample for favoring the blu was
America. America has distiileries fol
making beer, gin, whiskey, and all
kinds of alcoholic spirits. The p. c.
