IN HOUSE
Representatives Have
Another Busy
Day.

Friday did not seem to disturb the |
solons of that important body with SUI
perstitous forebodings. There was no /
| apparent fear that the coincidence of |
the fatal number thirteen being merg- |
ed into a day of the week which is
| generally stunned when important |
| matters are to be considered, would |
upset prearranged plans for the intro
duction or consideration of measures. |
A large number of bills were on the I
order of the day for considerations and ,
most of the members Wore primed with p
arguments pro and cou. y fun half
| hour was used in listening to the pray Z
| er given by the chaplain, and tne I
reading of the minuJes, in English anu /
Hawaiian. At 1880 the minutes of the ,
preceding day were adopted withou! |
objection, aud the House then rolled /
up it's sleeves and plunged into its
work.

lie lands, made recommendations ON ,

! G{lfIIan said the Nalxavao road
board had asked for SCI, 900, for two
years According TO what he had heard,
the amount asked for was more than
sufficient to put them in better coudi-

House should be just to all the dis

the Superintendent of Public Works,

iliberally dealt with
