/ House Bill 10 was called up for the
third reading. This was the Act to
amend section 30 of chepter LVII of the
Session Laws Of 1892, and was for the
appointment of three Circuit Court
Judges for the First Judicial Circuit. Ke-
kaula said he understood in the county
charter there is still another Judge to be
appointed, making four in all. If the
county bill was not to be brought in al
once he was in favor of adopting the
bill
Robertson said Kekaula's reasons were
not consistent. The Third Judge did not
have to be appointed unless it was neces-
sary. He said the House had not seen
the county bill and there was no need OF
delaying passage under consideration by
awaiting its introduction. If the munich
pal bill was passed it would make a
change in the Circuit Courts and much
OF the work done by the Circuit Judges
now would be removed to other Judges
appointed under the provisions of the
municipal bill. The appointment of a
Judge by the Federal Government would
save the Territory so much expense. The
members should take the advice OF
Judges and lawyers who are much more
qualified to know whether or not anotH-
er Judge is necessary.

to why the bill should not pass. 1t was

would take the same stand until the bit.

Kaniho again tore the welkin wisl

of Health could have the parents fine,

put in a position where they would hav
to continue to pay the fine. That va

whether he was in favor of compulsor,

the matter more thoroughly discusse,
: He offered treatise on the subject clip

against compulsory vaccination, an,
claimed it was an infringement upon per

death rate by vaccination, directly an,
, indirectly, was appalling, and law
