that the rich were not paying sewer
rates as things now stood. The only
large block that paid was the Judd

Mr.. McCandless. If the bill was GO
ing to pass, wanted his $40 limit in
serted. Mr.. Paris asked him II he
would have one-story cottage charg-
ed the same as a four-story hotel, and
he answered that not more than $40
annual charge was his meaning.
President Crabbe queried: THE
Young Hotel only $40 and small cot
tage just the same?"
Mr.. Achi said that was a foolish
amendment. 1t would enable the owner
of several houses on n single tract TO
pay only the same as the owner of a
single cottage.
Mr.. McCandless replied to all his
critics that their remarks only gave
reason for referring the bill to the
Judiciary committee. 1t had come In
unexpectedly and his amendment was

The amendment was lost and Mr..
Isenberg, abandoning his own amend

from the House. Mr. kalauokalanl
moved It be indefinitely postponed
which was lost 3 to on show of hands,
and the vote being questioned, ris-
ing vote gave against killing the Dill.
1t then passed second reading, Z to 3,
and was ordered read third time to-
day.
EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS.
The Governors message was taken
up for consideration. Mr.. Isenberg
moved that the Senate go into execu-
tive session, but the Senate was over
whelmingly in favor of public con-
sideration of the executive appoint
ments.
At first the names were voted on
separately but this was changed TO
reading the list through, members to
state objections they might have TO

Mr.. Kalauokalani objected to j. II.
Fisher, Auditor, but only rallied Messrs.
| Kaiue and Kaohi with him against
confirmation.
: Mr.. Paris offered the only other OBJ
; lection, this being to Robert Is. Nalpo
as inspector of elections for the first
: precinct of the second Representative
district. He explained that there was
nothing personal in the objection, but
Kau was not represented on the board
The appointment was not confirmed. 1t

With the foregoing exception, the

the reading.
