/ that he understood there was per
/ son anxious to carry the mails daily
/ around the island at the rate of 800
a month, This plan he thought
would add 70 the efficiency OF the
service
Minister Damon said he had not
heard anything officially regarding
the offer. but that notice would be
taken Of it as soon as it was pre-
sented
On motion the report OF the post
master-general was accepted, to
gether with the report of the finance
committee.
Mr. Hatch, from the Judiciary com
mittee, reported a substitute bill re-
lating to peddling, which places a
penalty OF not less than 800 nor |
more than $500 for peddlIng goods of |
foreign manufacture IN these islands. |
Holders of licenses for this purpose !
are exempt from the effect of the |
law provided until the expiration of |
existing licenses.
The bill was placed on the order
of the day for next regular meeting.
The second reading of the bill re-
latiDg to the powers and duties of
the advisory council was taken up.
Mr.. Brown moved the bill be laid
upon the table He thought the bill
was entirely unnecessary, as the gov
eminent has inherent power TO act
needed. The Provisional govern
ment takes the place Of the former
legislature, the priyy council and
everything No special acts were
needed.
President Dole said it was an i'm
portaut matter and should be care
fully considered, as passing the bill
might limit the powers Of the govern
meut, which are free now.
Attorney General Smith said he
did not understand how the act could
limit the powers OF the government
or advisory council. While he adj
mi.ted he did not thiak there was
any great necessity for it, he saw no
harm in the bill
On q show of hands the bill was
laid On the table.
The military bill was taken up at
section 81. and the report Of the c0m-
nittee thereon was adopted.
Mr.. Emmeluth did not think the
,eport altered the matter materially.
Mr.. Wilder said the object was to
meet an emergency. The commander
4 chief should have the power 10
'emov8 an officer absolutely When ,
n emergency arrived there was no
ime to call cabinet meeting, and
wen If there was it might result in a
lie vote and delay necessary action to
he danger OF the state.
Mr. Hatch pointed out that the
ection applied to the time of active
ervice, otherwise it could not be ex-
rcised. No Limitation should be
,laced upon the commander-in-c chief.
fe moved an amendment clearing up
he section and adding thereto.
