/ COMMITTEE WAS DOUBTFUL.
Representative Paele reported verbal
| " for the health committee a visit to
Kalihi camp. He said that the COM
nnittee had been taken out in a car
riage by the President of the Board
| of Health and had inspected the per-
sons confined there. They had found
one case in particular which the legis-
lators deemed suspicious, and didn't
think the patient had the disease, but
as the doctors had declared he was
afflicted, the committee decided not to
question the decision. Another case
examined, that of Rev. Mr.. Hanuna.
the committee also was in much doubt
about. He seemed quite we'll and the
committee did not believe he was sick.
This was the case which Speaker
Beckley had asked the committee to
examine, limiting that the suspect was
confined for political reasons The
committee made no recommendations
and the report was adopted.
Vida moved that the Governor and
Senate be notified of the Houses readi-
ness to adjourn. A recess was taken
to prepare the notifications.
VETO SUSTAINED.
Upon reeonvening Secretary Atkin-
son appeared with the message from
the Governor, vetoing the County Com
mission resolution KumaIae moved
that the veto be sustained, which was
done without a dissenting vote
Harris then introduced the admins
tration resolution providing for a COM
mission, two to be named by the House
and two by the Senate, the members
not to be paid, and the expenses of the
commission to be approved by the Gov
ernor. Harris moved its adoption.
Fernandez moved that it be laid on the
table. He said that the Legislature
could draft better bills than any COM
mission, pointing to the experience with
the old commission. I'VE mad exper-i
ence with one commission said Fer
nandez, "and that one left a Ioophole
in the law big enough for a cart to
drive through, although it was compos-
ed of learned attorneys, including the
Federal attorney. The result has been
seen with one commission. If We leave
it to the Legislature we win have a
good law
KUMALAE TALKS.
KumaIae also said that the Organic
Act prohibited the adoption of the
resolution as introduced. He said that
Section gave the Governor the right
to nominate all commissions, and here
9n attempt was made to give the power
to the House and Senate. He moved
to amend to strike out the portion Civ
ing the House and Senate power to
nominate. He thought the law should
be amended.
Why not amend the Organic Act?'
suggested Andrade.
Cant do that replied Kumalae
seriously.
Kumalae then moved to strike out the
Ionending portions, leaving the power in
the Governor to appoint the entire COM
| mission Of five. The amendment car
ried and the resolution was then adopt

were Greenwich, Kaniho. Kou, Kupi-
