House bill No. 124, providing for the
election of road supervisors, was again
taken up. The majority of the Judi
ciary Committee reported recommend
ing the tabling of the bill, but a min
rity report was aSso submitted by
Sheldon and Waiwaiole, recommending
the passage of the bill with certain
amendments relative to the time and
manner OF electing the supervisors,
but not effecting the general intent
of the bill. The principal effect of the
amendments was to make the election
come at the time of a general election
instead of a special election
In arguing against the bill Sheldon
cited section as of the Organic Act
by which it is specified that each law
passed by the Legislature shall embrace
but one subject to be specified in the
title, he held that bill No. 124 authoriz-
ing the election of road supervisors
also undertakes to govern the manner
in which road taxes shall be paid into
the county treasury, and how such
funds should be paid out by draft |
through the Auditor. He declared that |
the 5th section of the bill sought to |
override or supplant Act SO relative |
to road taxes and that it would not |
stand a test of the courts if it passed )
Kaleiopu then moved to amend by !
striking out section s., thus getting |
around the objection to the bill raised |
by Rawlins; and he also moved to
strike out Section of the bill which |
gives the superintendent of Public
Works authority to carry out construc-
ton work provided for by appropria-
tons outside of road taxes without re-
ference to the road supervisor or Board |
of Supervisors.
Kaniho wanted to know if the bill |
only contemplated elegibles being those
who could speak English.
Sheldon replied that such a clause
could re amended.
Rawlins then found fault with Sec
ton requiring road supervisors to
send each week to the Board of Super |
Visors detailed statement of work done |
and receipts and expenditures on
ground that it would not stand test
of law.
The amendment to the clause requir- |
ing road supervisors to speak, read and |
write English and permitting the use of |
Hawaiian, was passed.
