AT EVENING SESSION.
House bill 1873. to protect life and
property from damage from steam boil
ers, providing for the licensing of en-
gineers. was taken section by section.

In closing his remarks Mr.. Chilling

letter from Moses Papu, a Hawaiian
engineer, to Senator McCandless, in
which he said the purpose of the bill

aminations.
Kumalae said he would favor the bill
as he believed it would protect the
Hawaiians.
The bill was read through, and then,
