Whereas, during this session many
wagons have been at the doors of the
Senate building from which quantities

Whereas, visitors to the Senate,
some of its members and its officers.
have found it necessary to retire to the
club from time to time.
BE it resolved by the Senate and
House Of Representatives:
"That such use of Government prop
erty is not becoming to it's dignity.
That therefore, the Governor and sup
erintendent of public works be instruct
ed to have the military club removed.
In defense of his resolution Mr.. Car
ter said that while the club had per-
feet right to have liquors it had no
right to use the same on government
property. Mr.. Carter went on to say
that while at work in committee at
night he had frequently heard singing
and CarOusing in the Officers club. He
had seen PeacOck's and Their wagons
draw up in front of the Senate cham
Der with supplies" for the club. He

paper reporters were frequent visitors
to the place. Mr. Carter amended
this by adding that "some" newspaper
men, and not all, were meant.
The resolution was lost only Mr.. Ka-
nuha and Mr.. Carter voting for it.
House 49, relating to wires of Oahu
Ice & Electric Co., passed third read
ing.
House SO, granting a gas franchise to
W. w. Dimond & Company, passed its
final reading.
At this point the matter of appoint
ments came up. On motion of Cecil
Brown the Senate went into executive
| session.
The Board of Health bill passed by
the House last night went to the Print
| ing committee on the representation of
Dr. Russell that the bill was different
from that passed by the House.
The House resolution for committee
to call in Citizens Guard arms and
prescribing pay of military was tabled
on motion of Cecil Brown, who called
the attention to the fact that military
equipment belongs to the United States.
Mr. Crabbe asked to resign from the
accounts committee. Although a men,
Der only twelve hours bills for 1888 had
| been presented to him and bills aggre-
eating 81, 327.5 So had been left as a lega-
cy by the old committee. If the old
committee could not straighten out
these bills, the new committee certain
| ly could not. A motion requiring the
committee to itemize and refer the bills
to the Senate on Monday passed. Mr..
Crabbe's resignation will be considered
after that.
The pilot fees bill passed second
| reading. but is of course a dead piece
of paper as the House cannot possibly
have but one day to work on it, and
under the Organic Act a bill cannot
pass three readings in one.
