mr.. Speaker: I make the point Of
order that the house can not legally

under consideration at the present
time, for the following reasons:
ON Saturday March IL, 1899, when
the speaker placed this bill before the
house as local bill. the reading clerk
proceeded to read the bill. and did
read in regular order the first six
teen pages Of said bill, when. of his
own free Will, or at the suggestion Of
another, or under instructions given
by some one unknown to myself, said
clerk skipped or omitted to read some
sixty or more pages of said bill This
omission or neglect on the part of said
clerk to read all of said bill was called
to the attention of the speaker at the
time, and the speaker declined to in
struct or direct the clerk to read all
of said bill or that part OF the same
omitted in the reading Of the same
Section 80, article 3 of the Consti-
tuition of Texas provides that No bill

body of the bill) four-f fths of the
house in which the bill may be pend

and nays being taken on the question
of suspension and entered upon the
journal.
This bill has never been read in It's
entirety and the rule laid down in the
Constitution requiring bills 10 be read
has never been suspended by four
f1fths vote of this house and the yeas
and nays entered upon the journal;
therefore the engrossment OF this bill
at this time would he fragrant viola

Multi SUGAR COMPANY
SENATOR WATERHOUSE MAKES
NEW ARRANGEMENT.
Reduced from S2,O0O.OOO
to $1,000, 000-Four-fifths of the
Stock will Now be Issued.

Senator Henry Waterhouse has Civ
en- out the following statement con
corning the reorganization of the Niu-
Iii Sugar Company:
1.-THE original proposition was to
make the capitalization of Multi
Sugar Company. 100000 Under the
new arrangement the capitalization
has been reduced to 81 100000, and of
this amount but four-tifths of the
stock will be issued the remaining
one-tifth, being carried in the treas
ury of the company.
THE option price for the purchase
of Multi was originally made at
81, 000,000. The owners of Multi were
not disposed to sell the property but
were induced finally to grant an OPP
ton at Sl,000,000. An effort by the
promoters had been made to secure
lands in fee simple which. it was
thought at the time the option was
made, would make the proposition a
good one, even if as high figure as
$1,000,000 was paid for the Multi prop
erty Instead of securing a fee sim
pie title to all the properties we had
in view we have succeeded in securing
lease for term of thirty years of
the most valuable of these properties,
Halawa, at very favorable rental.
Hence only small amount of capital
is required to place it in the posses
sion of the company.
"Since we secured this valuable
leasehold, a thorough and complete
analysis of the values of Multi and
Halawa has been made, resulting in
a purchase of Multi from Judge Hart
by us for S750,00O. Halawa is subject to
n lease of 1872 900 a year. which in
cludes all the sugar and coffee lands,
mill, machinery, implements. tools.
animals. chattels, plantation equip
ment, and everything appertaining to
the property, including 600 tons of
sugar. Every expense connected with
Halawa has been paid for up to April
3Oth.
THE total charge for promotion
fees, including all expenses, is $4,000.
making the total amount paid for all
the property as above named, SS00.000.
at is estimated by competent
Authority that an expenditure of $780,
600 on the Multi mill, to improve it to
such an extent that it will be able to
take off a crop of seven or eight thou
sand tons of sugar, would he sutfici-
ent. At the present time this mill
loses large percentage of the sugar.
at is therefore proposed to capital
ize at $1.OOO,OOO. Of this amount,
100000 fully paid up stock win be is
sued to cover the cost of the proper
ties above described, leaving balance
of 100000 of unissued stock in the
treasury of the company. to be used
for the improvements of the mill and
other property, subject to the direc-
tor Of the company.
Multi contains 1920 acres in fee
simple and RS acres under leasehold
Halawa contains an area of 2,400
acres, under lease.
There is at present under sugar
cane cultivation 800 acres on Multi
and LOO acres on Haawa, making "A
total of 1900 acres under cultivation
THE crop of sugar for the current
year. 1899, is estimated to be, from
Multi, 2,40O tons, and balance from
Halawa, 600 tons, making in all 5000
tons. Next years crops are estimated
to be for the combined estates. 1900
tons"
