aries and pay of employees of the Ter
ritory during the period commencing
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 o'clock to enable the commit
tee to report. Mr.. Isenberg presided
while the bill was under consideration.

the reading by objecting to the official
titles. Assistant Assessor, Oahu" and
First Deputy, Honolulu for the first
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 The motion was Withdrawn.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 |
nan was now filing both offices.
1t was when Mr.. Achi raised a dis |
eussion on PAY Roll Roads and |
Bridges, Honolulu that the Senate
discovered its lack of information. The !
objector did not see why there should |
De a pay roll for Honolulu and not for
other districts Mr.. Dickey could not /
ell and others presumed the Superin-

lie wanted Mr.. Woods prevented blind
action by moving to refer the bill to
