THE HOUSE FORTY NINTH DAY.
Regular routine business being
disposed OF as usual, communica-
tion from the Senate was read, re-
turning House Bill 6 with amend
ments.
Harris moved to concur in Senate
amendments to the first Supple
mentary Unpaid Bills and was con-
Cured in by vote Of % ayes to
no Lswisl.
Harris again moved to concur in
Senate amendments to the second
Loan Bill aud Fernandez not to
concur. Paele moved to consider
each amendment item by item, as
some of the amendments the House
could concur in aud some not.
Fernandez said il ia for the House
to concur or not in the amendments
made
Kumalae said he believed In not
concurring. He questioned why
the Senate struck out all reference
to County aud Harris answered him
that County Government was not
yet in existence aud the amend ment
is made to conform to our present
situation. for when we seek to raise
the money on this proposed loan,
there will be nothing in the way TO
prevent our raising it. A question
might be raised by money lenders
in New York, for instance, and else
where. Kumalae further said that
the Senate was not sincere as to
County Government and they are
doing this purposely in order TO
defeat the wishes of tina people.
Why did they amend the proposed
, County building for Waikiki to
Government building? What differ
ence will there be, as we are soon
to have County Government. This
seems to be a trick of the Senate.
An opinion should be asked of the
!, Attorney General on this matter
and he therefore moved to defer
consideration.
Harris said that we are splitting
/, hairs on this matter. County Gov
eminent is not yet established auc
there's no need of endangsring the
measure, as the Territory will hav'
!, to psy the interest, and not the
!, Counties. Paele supported Kuma
0 lae's motion and said that they
t came here to work for County Gov
eminent.
Fernandez asked Harris where
, will the Territory get It's money
, from, and Harris answered-fron
, all the people in the Territory, tt
which Fern audez retorted-from
the people of the Counties, and fur
ther said that when constitutions
Government was first established
he,e, they had no such buildings al
y we have now, but used grass huts
We of East Hawaii have building
, in Hilo good enough. and we cal
Il wait till we have County Govern
% ment.
n Aylett saw that the day was com
q ing when the lie will be thrown VI
10 the Republicans. Pc was tole
that Republicans were not sincer'
o and he aid that they will work Il
y gain it. But now he secs that Their
. is a doubt and would support thu
. motion to ask the Attorney Gen
Q eral.
Harris asked to withdraw his mo
IS ton and Fernandez did the same
Q But Harris said that il Fernando;
L withdrew his motion, he would no
a withdraw his, thereupon Fernan
q DEE consented to let his motion
stand.
Pulaa said that il no County, n,
= Loan Act. 1t is not right that tn
: Senate should defeat the wishes O
> this House for County Government
unless it be that Dickey bird ka'
whispered to them to strike out a.
reference IN the bill to Countis
10 and then we'll get the loan, aud 70
