The Sanitary Bill.
The bill defining the sanitary district
of Honolulu and establishing rules and
regulations for the plumbing and drain
age of buildings and THE construction
of house sewers in said district.
senator Isenberg moved an amend
ment TO have the opening of sewers
subject to a permit from the Superin.
tendent Of Public Works or his auth.
nrized representative, instead of the
Inspector OF Plumbing.
Senator Achi objected on grounds
connected with the County Bill.
Senator McCandless argued against
the change. holding il was better 10
have the work under supervision OF
the officer having immediate charge OF
sewer connections.
Senator Isenberg stated that the
sewerage system was under the care OF
The Superintendent Of Public Works.
The authorities had discovered this
mistake in the bill and he was request
ed to have the amendments made ac-
cordingly throughout the bill.
An a5ortive motion to recommi. the
biii was made. after which the amend.
ment carried. Similar changes in the
text were made wherever needed as the
reading progressed.
Senator McCandless moved to strike
out an amendment that Senator Achi
had obtained on second reading with
regard to plans for house plumbing, to
the effect that only when the cost Is
more than $500 shall approved plans
be required. The present mover stated
That for small houses the plumbing did
not cost more than $3.50, and the
plumber should provide plan free.
Senator Achi held that the change
would be unwise. They could not make
law to compel any man to do work
Tor which he should charge nothing.
IL would be unconstitutional. Plans
Tor ordinary house plumbing were
unnecessary, especially in the outlying
suburbs. Look at the trouble to the
poor man out in Kalihi, and look at
the expense.
The amendment was lost, and an
other by Senator Achi, reducing the
limit to 5000, carried.
The section to remove caps and cowls
from all yentilating pipes OF old work,
struck out on second reading, was re-
stored on motion of Senator DIckey,
who had been to school with the
plumbers In the meantime.
