Met as usual pursuant to adjourn
ment, and after disposing of the
preliminaries, Wilcox, from Health,
reported on item for compensation
OF $3.50 due the Hawaiian Rife
Association for building destroyed

mittee finds no such building used

there was during the plague epid-
emic, yet no claim has ever been
made. Recommends rejection. Ad-
opted.
The veto message Of the Governor

item by item, and the Governor was
sust aimed in every instance.

THE HOUSE FORTY SEVENTH DAY.
As soon as the reading of the
minutes had been finished, Paele
moved to expungs the ruling Of the
| Chair on his motion to reconsider
the Amsra FIRE claims item, and
after a little discussion, the motion
was put and lost, and then the min

Kupihea offered resolution, sub.
hitting certain questions to the At,
torney General for an opinion,
viz:
docs the Organic Act require that
all bills passed by either of the two
| Hous Of Legislature should be
certified by Speaker" in the
House OF Representatives,, aud by
President" in the Pouse of Senate,
with their respective clerks? What
section or sections in the Organic
Act sustain that requirement.
Does not the Organic Act give
the official name OF the presiding
officer msntio ed in Section AZ, to
bs q "chairinsu AZ" as given in Sec
ton "a, aud not Speaker" or
PRESIDENT"
3 Can any of the two Houses OF
the Legislature determine or pass any
rule of procedure which is con.
trary or inconsistent with the Or
gapic Acts
Kupihea said that there were
doubts in his mind on this matter
and we should bnve an expression OF
opinion from the Attorney General.

is the title of the Organic Act; I2l
Is it constitutional, and [3] what is
the cost to test the same in the

his motion.
Paele supported the resolution,
saying that only yesterday one OF
the main props of our proposed
County government was knocked
out and several boards OF that
building broken, The resolution
was finally disposed of by being
tabled, on motion of Grsenwell.
Senate Bill 8 was then taken up
and on suspension OF the rule', or
motion Of Keliinoi, tbs same was
, considered item by item. Paele in
sisted on the bill being read through
before being considered item by
, item, but he was prevailed upon
that such a consideration would
gain the same result.
