Rep. Kahaulelio reported for the
Committee on Joint Rules to whom
were referred the Presidents message
on the resolution adopted by the House
of Representatives on the 7th day of
March, 1898, relative to a practice fol-
lowed by officers of the Department
of the Attorney-General, as follows:
1--WE find no provision in the rules
of the Legislature providing for Con-
current Resolutions, and that the res
olUtion adopted on the 1th inst, above
referred should properly have been a
Concurrent Resolution. We therefore
recommend that a new rule be added
TO the Joint Rules of Procedure of the
Senate and House of Representative
TO be inserted after Rule % and to be
called Rule 22A as follows:
CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS.
Concurrent resolutions also require
the action of both Houses of Legisla-
ture, and they shall be treated in all
respects as joint resolutions except
that they do not require the approval
of the President"
Made the order of the day.
Rep. Loebenstein reported for the
Committee on Public Lands to whom
was referred Senate Bill 81, being an
act making special appropriations for
the immediate use of the Government,
the sums thereby appropriated amount
10 $27 600 for roads and bridges on
Oahu and Kauai.
The report is as follows: "The ex-
cessiye damage done to the roads and
bridges in the several districts of Oahu
and Kauai, by the late storms, makes
it necessary that repairs to the same
should be undertaken without delay.
Having further examined the esti-
mates furnished by the Superintendent
of Public Works for the cost of each
particular work in question, and find
ing the total to tally with the amounts
asked for in the bill, we recommend
that the bill pass with the following
additional items:
Repairs to roads and bridges over
Moolea gulch, Hama, $1,000.
Repairs to roads and culyerts, Ha
makua. Hawaii, $1,000
Repairs to roads and culerts, South
Hilo, S2100.
Advices received from the aforesaid
districts are to the effect that con-
siderable damage was also done the
roads and bridges in those localities;
to repair which provision was neces-
sary. The distance from Honolulu,
coupled with the fact that only in one
instance has an emergency appropri-
alton called for prompt action, appear
to have been the underlying causes of
neglect in prompt official notification"
Laid on the table to be considered
with the BILL
Rep. Achi gave notice of his inten-
