| Makekau introduced a prize resolution
in the shape of a protest against exist
ing rules and regulations of the Board
of Health, as follows:
Whereas, the Board of Health have
seen fit to perform the duties of the leg
islators, and are now and have been en-
acting laws in the form of rules and reg
ulations, and also resolutions; and,
whereas, said rules and regulations
and resolutions are arbitrary and con-
trary TO the interests of the poor people;
therefore be il
Resolved, by the House of Representa-
tives, the Senate concurring, That the
said rules and regulations and resou-
tons in force after the date of the first
alleged bubonic plague case made its APP
pearance in the City of Honolulu up to
the present date, be and the same are
hereby rescinded."
Paele moved that the resolution pass
AS read. Dickey, however, made vigor-
Gus protest He said the rules were
made and enforced by the Board under
power granted by a former Legislature,
and he did not think joint resolution
could rescinG law. 1t would have to
be in the shape of an Act duly signed by
the Governor, and he thought the House
was exceeding its authority.
Robertson said that Dickey's point was
well taken from "A legal standpoint, and
he argued against the acceptance of the
resolution, which, he said, was q ridicu-
lous measure, The concurrent resolution
would be so much waste paper and a
frittering away of the time of the Sen
ate and House, and he recommended the
discussion OF the resolution be Indefinite

sidered with BIZ 20 The latter motion
prevailed.

the House for about ten minutes, without

several thousand acres of homestead
land ready, but cannot be reached on ac-
count of the poor condition of the roads.
The district could supply the whole ISL
