Resolved: that on and after Friday,
March 6, 1903, the following bills shall
| be the Order of the Day until they are
finished. unless otherwise ordered by
the House of Representatives.
list. County Bill.
I'd. Loan Bill.
Sd. Appropriation Bill.
4th. General Municipal Bill.
keliinoi at once moved that the order
| be changed making the second order
| municipal bill, not general municipal
bill.
Harris refused to accept the amend
| ment saying he did not think there
was any reason why Honolulu should
! have precedence over other towns of
| the Territory. His reason for urging
| loans and appropriations before munic-
| ipal legislation. was that the last legis-
lature in a rush appropriated seven mil
| lions with less than five millions reve-
| nue. and time was needed for discus
sion.
KUMALAE FOR EXTRA SESSION
Kumalae said that what he wanted
was county bill first, municipal bill sec
ond, loan bill and the appropriation bill
last. Under Section "a Of the Organic
Act the Governor is ordered to call an
extra session II no appropriation bill is
passed, SO that should be last, and II
it does not pass there will be another
session. He talked at length trying tc
move the previous question after talk
ing Is minutes but he was voted out OF
, order
Knudsen said he was pledged to mu-
nicipal government too, but not to mu-
nicipal government alone for Honolulu
The Long bill does not fill the idea OF
the pledge and a general bill soon will
be ready. Under that act any town
can establish a municipality. He said
he did not want an extra session sim.
ply to pass an appropriation bill
Andrade said the general municipal
act would be ready in four days an6
that Kumalae knew 1t was being press
ed Keliinoi said municipal Legislation
was as necessary as county and he
| wanted action on both. He indicated
that he was averse to allowing the vo'
! ters to decide as to cities, saying th'
legislature was the power to act.
/ Kaniho said the resolution would bury
many bills ordered printed and he wa:
opposed to any decision as to working
under such cut and dried plan. Fer
