The other bill was substitute from
the Judiciary committee for Mr.. Dick
eys bill previously mentioned. Its
amending section reads thus:
Section 10. The Judge and Regis
trar of the Court of Land Registration
shall receive such salaries as shall be
appropriated by the Legislature In
| the absence of such provision all sal
! aries of officers or employees or fees
of examiners of title shall be paid out
of the expenses of the Court, according
to a schedule fixed by the Governor
All fees or costs received by any as
sstant registrars with an application
shall be transmitted with such applica-
ton to the Registrar.
THE SALARY BILL.
House bill No. /, appropriating SAL
aries and pay of employees of the Ter
ritory during the period commencing
F! with the first day of July, 1904, and
ending with the thirtieth day of June,
| 1905, came up for second reading. This
| process did not go far until several
items were questioned without any in
formation to sustain objections. Sena-
tor Woods thought it a waste of time
to discuss the bill in the dark and
moved to refer it to the Finance com-
mittee.
The motion carried and, after some
conversation, the Senate took recess
until 3 o'clock to enable the commit
tee to report. Mr. Isenberg presided
while the bill was under consideration.
AMENDMENTS.
Mr.. Achi first broke the monotony of
the reading by Directing to the official
titles, Assistant Assessor, Oahu" and
First Deputy, Honolulu" for the first
taxation district. The Senate declined
to adopt his amendment to make the
titles Deputy Assessor, Oahu" and
Second Deputy Assessor, Oahu
Mr.. Achi's proposal to strike out the
salary of Registrar of Conveyances and
give it to the Deputy, because there
was bill before the Senate making
the Treasurer ex-officio Registrar, was
lost after Mr.. McCandless had caution
ed the Senate to wait and see what
was to be done.
Mr.. Dickey had no second in moving
to strike out the stenographer to the
Assistant Superintendent of Public
Works. He said the stenography bust
ness had become very much overdone
in public offices. When Mr.. McCand-
less then moved to strike out the clerk
to the Assistant Superintendent, Mr..
Dickey seconded the motion. Mr.. Achi
told the mover he did not know what
he was talking about as there was
not another clerk in Government en-
ploy who was so hard worked as this
one. The motion was withdrawn.
Mr.. Achi had superintendent of
Garbage" added to the title of Road
Supervisor, Honolulu" saying that one
man was now filing both offices.
1t was when Mr. Achi raised dis
cussion on PAY Roll Roads and
Bridges, Honolulu" that the Senate
discovered its lack of information. The
objector did not see why there should
be a pay roll for Honolulu and not for
other districts. Mr.. Dckey could not
tell and others presumed the Supern-
tendent of Public Works knew what
he wanted. Mr.. Woods prevented bind
action by moving to refer the bill to
committee.
OTHER BUSINESS.
With amendments recommended by
the Judiciary committee, Mr.. Dickeys
bill relating to costs of court passed
second reading, to be read a third time
today. 1t abolshes jury fees in Grim
inal cases.
The following joint resolution pre-
scented by the Finance committee was
adopted:

Territory of Hawaii has been convened |
