the land is in deleterious condition
when found by the Board of Health i!
conclusive and not renewable in The
courts, and that the nature OF the i'm
prOvem5nt to be made shall be reviewa
bic only by the Minister .; the interior
and Executive Council.
NO provision is made for giving tho
landowner hearing.
TO take % persons property in that
manner would certainly be unjust anC
probably unconstitutional.
I'VE therefore recommend that Sec
ton be stricken out.
Section provides for the fOTecIOs,
uTe OF liens by suit in equity or by pub
lie sale. We think that the latter poT-
ton of the section should be stricken
out.
I'VE recommend that everything in
said Section, after the word equity in
line 2, be stricken out; that Sections Z
and s be consolidated and numbered
Section g. Said Section would then
read as follows:
Section 6. Said lien may be fore
closed at any time after six months
and within three years from the time
of the notice last named by suit in
equity. All such liens shall be pre-
sumed to have been satisfied at the ex'
piration of three years from the date oA
record.
I'VE also recommend that the num-
bers of the Sections be changed to con-
form with this report.
And with these amendments we rec
Onmend that the bill pass"
Stop Sunday Shooting.
Rep. Bond reported for the select
committee to whom had been referred
a petition from certain residents of HO
nolulu asking that a law be enacted TO
prevent target-shOoting on Sunday.
The committee found that petition GOV
cred the same ground as House Bill No
IS, and recommended that the same be
laid on the table, to be considered with
the bill. Report adopted.
Rep. Robertson reported for the Sc
Iect committee to whom was referred
House Bill No. 9, as follows:
Hon D. l.. Naone-Your select com.
mittee on House Bill No. 9, an Act to |
increase the width of certain streets in |
the district of Honolulu, beg leave to
report thereon as follows:
I'VE favor the passage of the bill with |
an amendment providing for the wild |
eningi of Union street, which in our |
opinion is very important, the present |
condition of that street being absolute |
ly dangerous.
I'VE recommend that line of Sec
ton I he amended by inserting after
the word 'Beretania' the word Union
I'VE also recommend that the SEIZED |
uIe De amended on page 6 by inserting
after line 16 the following words:
Union street, $50 feet in width.
North side, beginning at a point on
80
north 40 degrees % minutes, west true
96.5 feet from the present south corner
of Beretania street and Alakea street.
and running by the true meridian south
SO degrees IS minutes 80 seconds, west
1888 feet, more or less, to the begin
ming of a curve; thence by a curve to
the left 1870 feet, the direct bearing
and length of chord being south "a de-
grees .09 minutes, west 92.0 feet, to the
end of the curve at the extreme east
corner of the Rock premises Queen
Emma estate), on the present north
line of Union street.
Union street, south side, beginning
at point on the new maka1 line OF

House ELL No brought up in Sec
Ond reading, section by section. The
recommendations of the committee
were adopted.
Minister Cooper moved that Section
5 be made in the form of schedule,
and that it appear as such in the bill;
also that the schedule be considered as
read. Carried and bill then passed its
second reading.
Rep. Robertson moved that the
House take up House Bill No. II. Car
ried
Rep. Hanuna moved that the bill be
considered section by section.
When Section of the bill was read
Rep. Robertson objected strenuously to
its passage.
Il consider it manifestly unfair to
give such arbitrary rights to a body. 1
The committee had recommended that ]
the section be changed. If this is done
the owner of any property condemned {
as being deleterious to health will have
a right to appeal. The idea that any de-
partment of the Government can DEF {
clare q place unhealthy and the decis- l
ion be not renewable is certainly uni {
The law might provide i
for the appointment of commission s
but 1 think the simplest way is to
strike out Section and amend Section s
z. This would obviate the matter and 7
make it equitable"
Rep. Hanuna-Suppose a man had {
piece of taro land that was deleterious f
to public health. Would it not be we'll i
