one referred to Bill IA, prohibiting the
Board of Health from condemning prop
erty without compensation. The report
was to the effect that only persons own
Inns property who shall have fulfilled the
sanitary regulations shall be construed
as the owners under the Act. The COM
mittee asked to have its report referred
to the Judiciary Committee. The report
was adopted.
A second report was from the Commit
tee on Public Education to which was re-
ferred Petition No. for a school build
ing at Waialua Molokai. 1t reported
that the necessity of the prayer Is urg-
ent and recommended that the sum of
49, 600 be inserted in the appropriation bill
for a school building as asked.
In response to the request of the Ha-
waiian Relief Society for funds the Com
mittee on Public Health stated that the
financial resources of the Territory were
too limited to grant the request, and it
would naturally open the House to the
receipt of similar requests, and they rec
commended the prayer of the petition for
the worthy object and the carrying on of
the good work of the society be de-
MED.
At this juncture large delegation of
Hawaiian ''waterfronters" filed into the
House and almost drowned out the
lleather-lunged interpreter, John Wise.
Mahoe moved that each report be con-
sidered separately. Beckley took excep-
ton to the suggestion, saying that the
House would be delayed in its work if
this was done. He favored accepting
them all together. as the minority re-
ports were yet to be heard. The Chair
advised tabling them to be considered
later when the bills came up.
Robertson said a minority member, Mr..
H,,t hn fDly I,l
Houses business should be delayed on
that account.
Ewaliko moved to accept the reports
The Chair said the only motion he would
entertain was the one to table.
Mahoe of Waialua thought there was
no good reason why the first report hav-
ing reference to the Waiaua school
house should not be adopted Upon mo-
ton the report was adopted. and Mahoe
looked pleased. The second report was
, read over again and adopted.
