The Honolulu republican. [volume] (Honolulu, T.H.) 1900-1902, 1901-03-02


subject OF the granting OF building
permits in the burnt district" and in
spite Of 8 personal appeal TO the mem
bers Of the House not TO set hastily
in considering the measure. the
House by q vote OF q to ruled that
the resolution be side-tracked BY or
dering il to be laid upon the table
One curious feature OF the defeat of
the resolution was the fact that those
Eho voted with ErnmeIuth compose
the section of the House which has
opposed the measures introduced by
the Independent party. The vote
was by ayes and nays and resulted
thus:
ike. Haaheo. Hihio. Kaauwai. Kaui-
makaole. Kaniho, Keiki. kekaula, Ke-
liikoa. Kumalae. Mahoe. Makainai-
Makekau. Mossman. Nailima, Paele.
Prendsrgast Puul<i
Nays-Dickey, Emmeluth. Gilfllan.
Hogs. Monsarrat Robertson and
Wilcox. Not voting-Mr. Speaker.
The debate OF this question was the
/ hveliest part of the session and &C
cupied half an hour of the time
which was to be devoted to preparing
for the Molokai trip.
House-bill No. / was called up in
its regular order and passed its sec
ond reading The bill provides An
appropriation of $4,000 for the ex-
penSes of the session.
There were five new acts passed to
be printed. they were:
Dickey. (Rep.)-An act to abolish
personal taxes
Robertson. (Rep.)-An act to re-
peal certain obsolete laws
Kaniho, tDem-)-An act TO repeal
sections of the Civil Code, relating TO
vaccination
Haaheo. (Ind)-An act providing
for taxes on female dogs
Kumalae. (Rep)-An act to pre-.
vent Board of Health from destroying
property without compensation
Through some hitch in the printing
of the bills introduced on the proceed
ing day. none of the bills were return
ed TO the House for action until late
in the afternoon and then only House
bill No. 8, by Robertson which deals
with the repeal of the sections of the
code which cover the sale of real es-
tate by foreign guardians. There was
quite a discussion over this matter
and instead of passing the bill
through the second reading the
House referred 1t to the committee en-
Judiciary. There were numerous no
tees of bills given by the members
and the opening sessions of next
week will see some important legisla-
ton if the bills materialize
Dickey made his usual discovery
but the mare had just risen from her
nest as he found the still warm rest
ing place, so he soon saw what it |
was he had found and did not take
the House into his confidence. He
was ruled out of order before he had
more than opened his mouth. When
the Speaker told him that he was out
of order he recognized the symptoms
of his penchant for the discovery of
curious condolences in the rules and
their operation and sat down with
the reservation that he guessed that
he was out of order.
Dickey stirred things up about the
close of the morning session by NOV
ing that, in view of the fact that there
had been so much trouble and delay
with the printing of the bills which
had already come up for considera-
ton by the body, the House should
advertise for bids to have the work
done
Emmeluth did not look with favor
on the motion and said that if the Re-
publicans had been in control of the
House Dickey would not have called
the matter up. He closed by saying:
1.-The trouble with the Home Rule
party is that they are trying to give
all to their friends. | think the mo-
ton is one which should be voted
down." which was accordingly done
Then Makekau made motion for a
recess and the members went to
lunch.
Afternoon House Session.
