PETITIONS.
The Pacific Sugar Mill Co., through
| its agents, F. A. Schaefer & CO., MADE
| a claim for one hundred dollars for a
delay in a deal in land, the expense
to the company having amounted to
more than that sum. 1t was referred
/ to the Public Expenditures committee.
L. C. Lyman, Superintendent OF the
Hilo Boys Boarding School, is in with
a petition for relief from the iron heel
of the subland agent in Hilo. It seems
that Mr. Lyman, some years ago, took
up a piece of land in the Kaumana
settlements but has failed to maintain
residence on the land, going there as
it suited him. The land has been, it
is said, under lease and has been cul-
| tivated pretty generally. Lyman had
spent several thousand dollars on the
place but according to the ideas of
Land Agent Williams he has broken
one or two of the commandments and
viii have to skiddoo. Lyman, in this
instance, is not bit different from
many other homesteaders, though he
may have another piece up on the Vol
cano road which other homesteaders
have not. At all events he maintains
a residence in the comfortable board
| ing school instead of the rocky soil
in Kaumana.
Senator Makekau presented a petition
for funds with which to build an addi-
ton to school house. Senator Coelho
made a statement that there is an APP
preparation for the purpose included in
the last loan fund of $4,000, bunch
of which money has not been used. The
Education committee Will wrestle with
this petition.
| House Bill No. lis is the one relat-
ing to the use of writing machines
in making official records. Ordinarily
one would suppose that this could be
acted upon without question as to
| than a permanent ribbon in the ma
chine. The question was brought up
by Senator Dowsett, and promptly re-
piled to by Senator Smith, who said
there are copying ribbons and record
ribbons just as there is copying ink
and record ink. When a paper is to
be copied the typist has sense enough
to use a copying ribbon and when il
is for permanency a record ribbon is
used. Senator Dowsett agreed and the
report, which is as follows, was
adopted:
