ate yesterday afternoon.
Senator Isenberg made an indignant
protest against the showing forward
of amendments in the final stage of the
bill. The bill was all thrashed out the
previous day, yet now amendments
were being moved at the instigation OF
outsiders. People came right In among
the Senators and forthwith all sorts OF
amendments were being proposed. Let
interested parties do their lobbying
outside and appear before committees
but he had never experienced such
doings in the Legislature before. Were
they to be treated like parcel of
school children. He was not going to
stand 1t any longer. There was a mig
ger in the fence.
| A motion was made by Senator Achi
to refer the bill again to committee.
Senator Cecil Brown did not wish
to be made one of parcel of school
children without reason. He proceeded
to give a history OF the procedure on
the bill thus far, as Senator Isenberg
had been absent from the previous dis
|
est in the railway and saw nothing
wrong in what was being done. Peo-
pie of Hilo had petitioned against CIV
ing this franchise II II was going to
interfere with the Kohala and Hilo
Railway, therefore amendments were
made the previous day to prevent the
carrying Of heavy freight on the cleo
trio railway.
Senator McCandless followed in sim
liar strain, opposing the reference
again to a committee.
Senator Isenberg stated that the rea-
son for his previous remarks was that
when he had proposed an amendment,
Senator J. 7. Brown Of Hilo had tried
to shut him out. He was so easily sat
upon and would not submit to It.
II Senator Paris, in the chair, assured
the last speaker that he had not been
sat upon.
Senator Achi favored recommitting
the bill
The question was about to be put,
when Senator Isenberg asked what
about his amendment, and Senator
Baldwin asked to have the Hilo petit
ton read. This was done.
Chairman Paris interrupted calls for
names Of signers by ruling the petition
out of order. The only question was
between the passage of the bill on
third reading and its recommittal. He
put the question to commit and decid'
ed it lost by his casting vote.

should have the right to construct III
road to Hakalau.
Senator Dickey pointed out repeti
lions in the section and moved to max,
the time limit two years from July
