THE HOUSE.
"The honor falls upon me-" wrote
Secretary A. l.. G. Atkinson this morn
ing to the House Of Representatives,
ito notify your Honorable body that
the Governor has this day signed House
Bill 81 and House Bill 1856"
The first mentioned is the bill relat-
| ing to judgments, executions and new
| trials and the latter to Circuit Court
terms.
| The honor apparently did not fail
on the amiable secretary with sufficient
force to crowd him, for a little later it
fell on him again when he notified the
| House that the Governor had signed
| Senate Bill &c. amending Sections l.
| 1923 of the Revised laws.
President Pinkham of the Board of
| Health, replying to the Houses enquiry
regarding the Kalaupapa store, sug-
gested either that the appropriation
should be increased or else that the
store should be passed over to private
hands. He pointed out that under the
existing appropriation the store could
not supply the wants of the people. The
appropriation would not cost the Ter
ritory anything as the money all come
back.
