Second Reading-Final Action on
County Bill Today.

The Municipal and County bill held
the undivided attention of the Senate
throughout the greater portion Of yes
terday. The measure was taken Up
at an early hour of the morning ses-
sion and it was read through section
by section. The amendments and
changes suggested and afterward
adopted by the House OF Representa-
tives were in most cases accepted oy
the members of the upper house. When
the time for adjournment drew near
at the close of the afternoon, about
one-third of the bill remained to be
considered. A vote taken resulted In
an evening session being held.
One thing which greatly aided IN
expediting the bill in the Senate was
the dispensing with Interpretation in
to Hawaiian. The sections were pass
ed through with considerable raptdity
when the obstructionistic element
found that the tactics Of Wednesday
would not be countenanced.
When House bill NO. 4s (the Coun-

upon each and every section of the
measure. His fellow members in the
minority soon followed suit, and for a
