ferred to the Committee on Educa-
ton.
Rep. Richards presented the follow
ing petition from residents of Hilo,
Puma and Hamakua:
I'VE are opposed to passage by Leg
islature of House Bill So, the same
being An Act granting a franchise to
construct, maintain and operate an
electric or steam railway on the Isl
and of Hawaii for the reason that said
bill seeks to turn over to the company
asking for said franchise, the use of all
streets in the town of Hilo as well as
the use of all public roads in the ad-
joining districts. This we submit, by
reason of the fact of the narrowness of
said streets and roads, would be de-
trimental to the public good and a
menace to public safety.
I'VE do not oppose the granting OF a
franchise that will not interfere with
the present streets and public roads
We therefore respectfully petition
your honorable body not TO pass said
bill in its present form"
