the right to any existing company to
place lines on any street or road In
the Territory, and gave railroad COM
panies n right to operate street rail-
ways. He thought 1t was not proper
legislation to give such blanket rights
to corporations. 1t looked very sim
pie, but 1t was very loosely drawn.

for "a hours. Makekau moved to
make It April II.

Lave steam railroads the right to Use

were carefully safeguarded.
