The speaker called for the order of
the consideration of House bill IA. This
was An Act to prohibit the board or

ton of any property without compen-

was to amend section Sl4, chapter SO,
of the Civil Laws relating 10 dog tax,
or I'M
HaaheO, who moved it be referred to
the committee on judiciary. The speak
er made the order.
House Bill 20, AN Act to amend sec
lions S72 and S73 of the Penal Laws of
1884," relating to the interment of the
dead, and cemeteries and burying
grounds. Makekau moved it be refer
red to the committee on public health.
The speaker said there was a motion
to pass the bill by title for the second
time, which prevailed. Dlckey moved
1t be referred to the committee on Ju-
dietary, as the bill was NOT construct
ed according to legal phraseologJ.
Makekau began to get steam up, and
he soon involved Dickey in a wordy
combat AS the interpreter had had
no opportunity to do so, Beckley called
for a point of order, and asked that
the Interpreter translate Makekaus re-
marks Upon being asked to say it all
over again, Makekal said he had for
gotten what he said. Makekau, how
ever, was equal to the task, and talk
ed. Makekau plunged into a perusal
of the rules, and quoted several which
he considered were apropos.
Mahoe thought that the motion of the
member of the Fifth District was not
in order. The motion to REFER 1t to
committee was in order.
Speaker Akina suggested suspending
the rules to bring the bill before the
House again. A bill should be read for
the second time, and was subject to
two motions, either to commit or print.
Emmeluth did not know how the
rules read. as he had no copy on his
desk, but he knew good deal of time
was wasted in the simple transferring
of bills from one stage to another. He
thought the chair should be permitted
to use his discretion in submitting bills
without vote, If no objection is made
to the proper committees or procedure.
Time was money to the House, and
this would become more and more APP
parent as the session neared its close.
Makekau said time was valuable, but
the House should not do useless work.
The bill had passed a second time, and
he did not believe II could be reconsid-
cred.
The chair thought the motion was
properly put. Beckley interrupted by
requesting a suspension of the rules.
The chair thought If there was no
kick" from the House, the bill should
be referred to the judicial committee.
Upon motion the bill was RECONSTRUCTED.
Another member then moved IT be re-
ferred to committee on pubic heath
which was done, and the tangled mass
of motions and suggestions became
clear again
House Bin q was read FOR the sec
ond time by title, and so passed. This
provided for the employment OF Am
eTican citizens on public works, intro

The latter moved II be referred To the
committee on agriculture etc.
Mahoe suggested referring it to the
committee on public improvements, ana
then suggested it be referred to com

should have the widest latitude OF
