report would be handed in as soon as
a mutual understanding with the Sen
ate had been arrived at.
Chairs having been placed in antici-
patton of the joint session, the house
adjourned until the arrival of the Sen
ators.
The afternoon session came to order
at 2:20 the House promptly settling
down to business. Senate Bill 80 was
called. but Makekau broke up the reg
ular order of things TO bring in some
Board of Health letters, which We're
referred to the committee having the
Board of Health resolution in charge.
Prendergast, the prolific, wanted the
rules suspended while he introduced
yet another measure, this time To eX-
tend Pauahi street from Fort to Union
street.
Robertson had a strenuous objection
against any more bills being brought
in at this late hour He added that
he understood that only $4,000 was left
out OF the $4,000 appropriation Tor the
Legislature, and moved the rejection
of the bin.
Prendergast moved that the bill pass
its first reading, and had his own way.
Ahulii gave notice of a bill to amend
sections g17, 920 and 922-925 Of the
Penal Laws of 1891 relating to vaccin-
ations and to prohibit the Board of
Health from making any rules or reg
ulations whereby children may be vac
cinated. Several resolutions were in
troduced relative to street amend
ments. which were tabled, to be consid-
cred later with the appropriation bill
Kumulae asked for the raising or the
committee report on bill from the
table Preadergast said something that
apparently was not worth translating.
Makekau remarked that the bill was
not the order of the day. Kumulae OBJ
jected that it was an important meas
ure, nevertheless, and made a motion
for its second reading, the motion car
rying.
House Bill a. prohibiting the con-
demnation without compensation of
property by the Board of Health was
reported upon. The committee found
the bill illogical, badly drawn up, and
trespassing on ground already covered
by bin SIS, and therefore were against
it's passage.
Kumulae, the introducer didn't like
this at all. and moved to reject the
report Of the committee, as it was not
in accord with the spirit of the COM
munity. Hawaiians having now the
right to prevent the Board of Health
from burning up property without
compensation, he thought it was only
right to pass the measure, no direct
provision having been made in bill Sc
for similar measure.
Paele,5 member of the committee
echoed the sentiments of the report.
Kumulae, lingering bill 66, excitedly
wanted to ask Paele what part of bin
SIS prohibited the board from burning
up, and would not give Paeie cnance
to say six consecutive words without
an interruption. Beckley also tried to
talk but was hardly given a chance.
Dickey stopped the flow of kumu-
