resolution because the former resolu-
ton had not required an answer.
Knudsen moved to refer the matter to
the Health committee. This motion was
lost and Makekau's motion to adopt
the resolution was then passed.
Afternoon Session.
There was not much to do during the
afternoon. Besides the license bill for
the theaters there was the report from
the House providing that all employees
of the government shall be citizens. 1t
contains amendments which Senator
Smith could not stand for and he said
so. His objections were sustained and
the bill will go into the hands of a
conference committee. The bill rela-
tive to appropriation for the payment
OF unpaid bills having been amended,
and the amendments not concurred In,
will go to the same committee.
THE MAUI LOAN.
Senator Smith from the special coun-
ty committee reported on the resolu-
ton sent in by the Maui Supervisors
as follows:
1.-The resolution appears to conform
with the provisions and requirements
of Act 60 of the Session Laws of 1907,
approved April 16, 1907, and provides
for a loan of $4,000, and sets forth the
rate of interest, proposed term and a
detailed statement of the uses to which
it is proposed to devote the proceeds
of such bonds, and is duly certified.
while we believe that the several
counties should be slow to incur in
debtedness and issue bonds, and should
only do so when there is urgent need
for the same, the items and purposes
for which the loan is proposed appear
to be for much needed public improve
ments and which will not only add
greatly to the convenience and COM
fort of the residents but will tend to
develop the resources of the county
and, under the circumstances, we APP
prove of the proposed loan and rec
ommend that the resolution of the Su-
pervisors of the county of Maui be con-
firmed by the Legislature"
Senator Chillingworth presented q
report from the Miscellaneous COM
mittee relative to soda water bottles.
amending the bill slightly. The report
was adopted and the bill will go down
to the lower house.

The consideration of the message
vetoing the House bill relative to in
comes was postponed until April "a in
order than an amendment might be
presented. This amendment will sup
ply deficiency in the bill which, II
allowed to exist, will make the in

presented the amendment.
At 1905 the Senate took recess until |
1880 p. m.
NIGHT SESSION.
When the Senate took a recess in the |
afternoon it was with the idea of CIV
ing the House an opportunity to catch |
up with its work and send a number
of bills, which were understood to be
almost ready, to the Senate for consid-
Grafton. 1t is said that soon after the
Senate took it's recess the House ad-
journed to meet Saturday morning.
Whether Speaker Holstein announced
to the members that he had not been
notified of the recess is not
known but while occupying a seat in
the Senate in the evening he told some
of the members that such was the
case and for that reason he had de-
clared adjournment instead of a re-
cess.
The result of that action was the
practical baking OF the Senate In the
work cut out for the night session.
Instead of the numerous bills promised
here were two.
There had been disappointment ex-
pressed during the day that no COM ,
had been read from the
Health committee relative to the bac-
eriologist, such communication hav- i
ng been sent by the Board Of Health ,
o the chairmen of the Senate and .
House committees. The disappoint-
nent continued during the night ses-
ion.
