NCO0unueQ from rage H.
quests that $685. be refunded to him
for the time his license was not used,
as during that time the business was
carried on at the Waikiki Inn under
she license of L. II. Dee.
The law does not allow the Treas.
urer TO take the surrender Of any Ii.
Cense issued to sell liquor, or for any
other purpose, and refund the holder
gor the uneXpired term Of the license.
Money received and turned into the
Treasury for licenses is turned in as
q Government realization and Canot
Ne paid out again. except by apprOpria-
ton Of the Legislature. Nor does the
law authorize the Treasurer to trans
Ter license issued in the name Of any
party to another party for an uneXpir.
I'd term OF the same, and II has not
been the practice to do this.
As stated in the petition, a license
&C. sell liquor was granted in 1902 to
&. n. Brown, and shortly after trans.
ferrd to I'D. Holt. 1t appears that c.
u. Brown and J. ID. Holt We're partners
cannot be issued in the name of a part.
uership, il was issued in the name Of
e.. n. Brown. The partners quarrelpd
and Brown. wishing to withdraw from
the business. the Treasurer allowed
him to surrender the license. and an.
other was issued in the name OF J. d.
Holt.
It is seldom. however, that the Gov
eminent has transferred licenses. but
they have often permitted the licensee
o. change the place at which he Is per.
ntted TO sell liquor under the license.
and would undoubtedly have granted
This privilege to II. w. Almy, had he
made the request.
II Is the opinion OF your committee
that II Is not wise for the Government
u transfer licenses that have been Is.
sued, or for the Legislature to cstab.
lish the precedent of refunding a IL
censee for the uneXpired term of his
License, which for reasons OF his own
ne may throw up. We do not recon-.
rlend the granting Of the petition.
Respectfully submitted.

The report was adopted.
The Jury System.
Senator Cecil Brown presented the
following report from the judiciary
Committee, which was laid on the
table to be considered with the bill:
The Judiciary Committee, to whom
was referred House Bill No. !. report
that they have had same under consid-
Grafton. The Act was introduced for
the purpose of providing for the draw
ing summoning and empaneling Of
grand and trial jurors. and to repeal
existing law, in order that law be on
our statute book that would conform to
the Organic Act and follow the chang
ed conditions caused by annexation
and made necessary by that event
This law has had the scrutiny and
examination OF the Chief Justice a Cir
cult Judge and a committee Of the Bar
Association of the Territory and has
their recommendation as being neCes-
sary and proper legislation. We there.
lore recommend the passage OF the
ACT.
= IN Exemption Bill.
Senator Cecil Brown, as chairman Of
the Judiciary Committee, presented the
following minority report:
The judiciary Committee, to whom
was referred House Bill 90, report that
the Act in question amends section
of Act 20 of the Session Laws of 1901,
by raising the exemption allowed ev'
cry person in making returns for in
come tax from one thousand to two
thousand dollars. As the County Bill
which has been in conference places
the exemption at $500, we recon-
mend that the Act II taken up for con-
sideration be amended by striking out
the words two thousand dollars" and
inserting in their place the words
eighteen hundred dollars" to make
this law agree with the County Bill.
But, as the County Bill has already
amended the law in this particular, 1t
is hardly necessary to pass the Bill
now under consideration; II will do
no harm however to pass IT,
