TEN, when the residents of the city
OF Honolulu would be the only ones to
reap the benefits
Aylett spoke in favor of the bill as it
Would equalize the payment of rates.
humalae tried to speak, but cut short
ms remarks, and moved the previous
question
The bill passed by vote of ISL.
The Governors answer to the Beck
ley resolution, asking for a thirty-day
extension, was read and ordered spread
upon the journal of the House.
Inc message read as follows:
Hon. j. A. Akina, Speaker of the House
OF Representatives:
Slr-The resolution of the House
requesting an extension of the present
legislative session for .>an additional
period of thirty days, on the grounds
OF unfinished legislation, has been re-
celVed from your special committee.
The conduct of the present session by
the Legislature offers no appearance
SO FAR, that such an extension would
tend to promote interests of the Ter
ritory but raises in my mind strong
doubts to the contrary.
nave recently refused "a request OF
the Senate for an extension of the SEES
sion, such request being based upon
similar grounds to those expressed in
the House resolution, I find no reason
now for coming to a different concIu-
sion. Very respectfully yours,
SANFORD B. DOLE.
Kauimakaole, seeing that in all prob
ability no more money was rorthcom-
ing to him as a Representative, intro
duced resolution that the members
appropriate to their own use the law
books used by the House, and what
ever stationery, etc, that might be left
over at the end of the session.
kaniho, who contemplates the setting
up of law offices in the near future,
frightened visibly as the resolution
was read, only to have his hopes dash
ed to the ground by a sarcastic sug-
gestion from Hoogs that the resolution
be amended to include the tables and
chairs
Dickey suggested that the floor be
taken up and divided as souvenirs.
Monsarrats resolution that the
House work an extra session without
pay (printed in full in Saturdays Adj
vertiser), was then read before action
could be taken on Kauimakaole's sug-
gestion.
Kumulae offered TO support the reso-
luton if Monsarrat would go TO Con-
gress and change the provision in the
Organic Act relating to the pay OF
legislators.
Monsarrat replied that no member
was legally compelled to take any re-
enumeration for his services, and moved
Makainai was willing to give his SER
vices for a few days without pay.
Kumulae then moved the adoption OF
the stationery resolution.
Makekau-.I do not see why the
members of the House seem to think
the proceedings are so laughaole. es-
pecially after the sad news from the
Governor refusing an extension has
lust been read. I do not think this
'joshing' should be INDUCED in.
Mahoe then moved to table the reso-
luton, the motion being carried.
The afternoon session, as is usual
with the Houses Saturday afternoon
gatherings. was shy on members. Only
eleven were present on this occasion,
all of them in a high state of virtuous
indignation at the action Of the Senate
in adjourning for the day.
Monsarrat moved the adjournment of
the House, there not being a quorum
present, but Robertson and Emmeluth
demurred strongly, as there were many
important bills on the calendar yet to
be considered.
The question was put and carried
with Emmeluth, Robertson and Hoogs
dissenting.
Post-ad journment conversation among
the members points to a stormy session
this morning, and a possible adjourn
ment sine die of the first House of Rep
resentatives of the Territory Of Ha-
vail
Emmeluth. Robertson, Monsarrat
Beckley Makekau, Mossman, Hogs
and probably other members, may be
| looked to as telling a few home
truths" to the members today. 1t Is
quite on the cards, however; that they
will speak to a majority of empty
seats.
