Representative Hughes urged that
! the House make haste slowly in dealing
with the two leprosy bills now before
them. The matter was a grave one,
affecting not only the unfortunate pa
TENTS on Molokai but every person in
the Territory. He suggested that the
Health Committee confer with the
members of the Board of Health and
thought that the Kalihi receiving sta
ton was the proper place for the con-
ference. not the floor Of the House. In
the first place the members should de-
| fer all action on the bills until after
the return of the committee from Molo-
kai.
1 VACCINATION MATTERS.
Routine matters then occupied the
| House until the report of the Com
mittee on Health and Police dealing
with proposed amendment of the vac
cination law was read. The committee
proposed to table the amendment, be-
| ing sustained in this by vote of 20 to
| 0, tu. not until after an hour had been
spent in oratory.
| Hughes spoke warmly against any
meddling with the law respecting COM
pulsory vaccination. being opposed with
| equal warmth by Kaniho and Mahoe.
Kaleiopu also took a hand in the de-
bate he and Kaniho carrying on a
long and objectless discussion, in which
Kaniho said that as long as his amend
ment did not prohibit vaccination he
could not see where any kick came in.
During the afternoon session Kalei-
opu introduced another amendment to
the vaccination law, his idea being to
abolish the penalty feature of the pres
ent act, while the amendment he ar
gued against in the morning was to cut
out the compulsory feature, distinc-
tion without any difference apparently.
BILLS INTRODUCED.
Kaleiopu offered bill to set aside
the amounts realized by the govern
ment on improvements on surrendered
public lands, the money to form fund
to repay the purchaser in the event of
another surrender of the property to
the government.
Sheldon gave notice of bill per-
hitting the use of typewriters in the
making of public records.

the assessment act to allow deputy |

a wharf at Kaiuaha, Waimea, and |

to the proper committees.

me for the county to deal with. but
,ne for $4,000 for widening and ex-
ending School street and No. 8 lane
