30th Day--Alternoon Session.
The House yesterday afternoon by
unanimous vote OVERRIDE the veto Of
the Governor on two bills and sus-
tained II on one The overriding of
one veto creates. Il rather curious sit
uation. The bil was Senate bill,
pnd the Senate had already voted to
sustain the Governors veto ON the
measure Consequently the action o'
the House In overriding the veto can
have no effect other than that of put
ling the House on record in the matter.
The bill on which the House voted
to sustain the vcfo was that providing
in appropriation 'of $4,000 for the re-
opening of the kal road which was
partially blocked by the recent lava
flow. This was Kanihos pet measure,
although a Senate bill, and he spoke
pathetically In support of II and urgeC
mis- fellow members to override the
veto. But the measure had never been
a popular one In the House and was
only passed originally by dint OF
strenuous work on the part of Kaniho.
The House tailed To fall in line and
the bill is dead.
Pinkham's reclamation scheme came
before the House in the shape OF a
resolution by Hughes providing
for the appointment of a COM
mittee TO investigate its practicability.
Rawlins In support of the measure,

that had ever been introduced into the
Legislature OF Hawaii. With the open

canal, the danger of the introduction

creased. he said, and once II gets into
the country, 1t will be time for the peo-
pie TO begin to think about moving
out.
The House took up the third reading
of Senate Bill GO. defining the status OF
public and private schools.
Kaleiopu wanted to know whether
The schools which shall be established
hereafter would be covered by tins
law, and received affirmative reply
from Long, the father Of the bill.
