He had been informed that the Secre-
tary had ordered white paper. Car
ried.
Paris moved to have the election on
November Is, 1905, and the act go into
effect on January /, 1905.
Achi said they would have money on
July l, but none on January /.
Bishop stated that whatever date the
act was put in force the Territory
would be up against financial propo-
sition.
McCandless said he was working for
county government, but they had just
taken the life out OF it. Mr.. Dickey
had struck the right note but few
moments before the same member vot-
ed against an attempt to reduce the
pay of supervisors. There was bill
pending to provide for the collection
of one-half the taxes on the LIST of
July each year. Probably not more
than half the counties on the mainland
paid their supervisors. He moved that
the election be held on June go.
Paris wanted more time. The Leg
islature would scarcely be through I'M
h. ,,.xN, ntA
Achi was declared out of order In
moving to make the first election
Especial instead of general"
which would give 20 days less between
proclamation and election.
Other motions were to make cleo
tion day June 26, to have the act take
effect 30 days after the first election
and to pass the provision in the bill
election day June Is and act taking
effect July /. All being voted down,
McCandless renewed his motion to have
the election on June 90 and the act
take effect on July ]. Carried.
THE BILL PASSES.
Dickey moved to insert new Sec
tion, providing that all county officers
serve without pay the first year.
Dowsett suggested that the mover
wanted to kill the bill, 1t might as
well be laid on the table as have such
a provision inserted.
McCandless seconded the motion to
put it before the Senate, and that was
all the support ii received.
AT 2:45 the bill passed second read
ing, to be read third time on Friday.
THIRD READINGS.
House Bill 80, to amend Section 1924
of the Revised Laws of Hawaii, relat-
ing to lights, passed third reading. 1t
provides fine of not to exceed $40 for
failure of the rider or user of every
automobile, bicycle, tricycle. or vehicle
of similar nature, after dark while
such vehicle is in use.
House Bill 1876, to amend Section lit
of the Revised Laws, relating to the
appointment Of n Registrar # Public
Accounts, passed third reading 1t au-
thorizes the Governor, with the con-
sent of the Senate (amended from the
Treasurer by himself), to appoint an
assistant treasurer, who shall be remov-
able as provided by law (amended from
being removable NJ the pleasure of
the Treasurer as the House passed
the billy.
McCandless argued that the Organic
Act provided for IN Auditor and dep
uty auditor, but IN the ease Of the
Treasurer department neither the
Legislature nor the Territrr' had any
authority to interfere with the Treas
urer in his appointments of sabordi-
mates.
Brown could not under stanl why tho
Treasurer should want to dismiss his
deputy. There was nothing wrong with
that officer.
Paris explained that the purpose of
the bill was to enable the iaputy, cor
responding to the present Registrar of
Public Accounts, to act for the Treas
urer in case Of the latter ) absence or
illness.
Dickey, to satisfy the obinctor. nov
ed the bill be referred to a committee
of three, with Brown as chairman.
Dowsett said the Ways and Means
Committee had already investigated
the bill and found it all right. There
was nothing wrong with the bill.
Kalama said the bill was all right,
but it gave the deputy treasurer too
much power.
