passed, the amendments to which the
House had refused to concur in. MIR.

jected, but MIR. Paee was more mild
and moved to refer back.
The chair stated that the report could
not be entertained since it was not GER
titled to by the clerk and chairman of
the committee. Mr.. Harris replied that

Mr.. Kupihea reported for the Pub
lie Lands Committee on House Bill 80.
relating to the storage of lumber with
IN the fire limits. The Recommended
ion of the committee was to the effect
that the matter be left to the House in
a committee of the whole. All the
members of the committee signed the
report. After very short discussion,
it was adopted.
The next report OF the same commit
, tee caused a slight breeze in the House.
, 1t related to the oil tanks at Iwilei. The
, report was as follows:
Your committee is of the opinion
that the said oil tanks are menace to
the safety of persons and property in
that vicinity and also of the city of Ho-
nolulu; that they are a danger TO the
shipping and wharves in its narbor. n
I disbursement to tourist traffic, and
, foreign ships from touching at this
harbor.
, Your committee, therefore, recon-
/ mends that a bill be introduced regu-
Q lating the storage Of fuel oil within the
n city of Honolulu. and furthermore
recommends that the said resolution
o with the subject matter therein be first
referred to a committee of the whole
y for general discussion.

: An lwilei Discussion.
y Mr.. Greenwell moved for the rejec-
: saying that he had had conversations
Q with various people who presumed to
know something about the oil tanks.
: and they had all expressed the opinion
v that these were not a menace In any
!. way. shape or manner. II would be an
, absolute waste of time TO adopt the re-
q port of the majority Of the committee.
Q Mr.. Wright, who had signed the ma
d jority report, made the statement that
: the rents in the Iwilei district since the
r. installation OF the oil tanks there, had
i been reduced over seventy-five per cent
n and the natives who owned the major
/ ity OF the land were suffering as a re-
: suit of such installation.

J. with George r. Carter ON the matter
+ of the tanks at Iwilei and had been
v informed by him that the insurance on
the fertilizer works out there, in which
he was interested, had been cut off on
account OF these very tanks.
Speaker Beckley asked II the COM
mittee had called on the tax assessor
: to ascertain whether or no the rate OF
i taxation had been reduced. Mr.. Ku-
n pihea replied that the committee had
e been ordered to place its report before
II the House in such a hurry that the
It members had really not had the time to
call on the assessor.
