THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC.
The Hawaiian Electric franchise was
then taken up on second reading. Sem
ator Achi wanted the section stricken
out by the House saying that the COM
pany shall not be compelled to place
the wires under ground to be reinsert-
ed but it failed to carry.
Senator Dickey moved the insertion
of a section providing that nothing in
the act shall prevent the legislature
from passing law to compel the COM
pany to place the wires underground
and to remove poles from the streets.
Senator Brown said that the law at
present was sufficient, and that If the
bill was not passed as it came from the
House, the company would be without
franchise. The amendment was with
drawn and the bill passed second read
ing. To be read a third time today.
SALARY BILL PASSED.
Senator Achi moved to defer the six
months salary bill until Monday He
said there was no use wasting time.
Dickey didn't think there was time to
pass the eighteen months bill, so the
six months bill wouldn't be of any use.
Baldwin said that the appropriation
bills had passed first reading in the
House. President Crabbe said there
wasn't any use in fooling with appro-
priation bills, that the House bil's
should be passed. Brown said that the
Senate should keep it's skirts clear, ard
pass the two salary bills; not to do
it was simply playing into the hands
of the House.
Achi stated that he hHd information
from the majority of tn. House that
the appropriation bills would rrt be
pass q, and there was no use wasting
! time on them. He said he had bills just
as .nlnurtant Dickey novel 70 pass
the salary bill on third reading by title
and said Congress did the same Thing.
, There was no second and the bill was
read in full.
Many futile attempts We're made TO
change salaries but We're ruled out OF
order. The clause relating to the
salary of the President of Board
of Health was made to read so
! that he is not required to give his
whole time to the work. The item II
81 900 for Board of Health agents was
again changed back to $1,000 for gov
ernment physicians, after hard fight,
The bill passed third reading with fif-
teen ayes.
