cussion it is well to await the de-
cision of Mr.. Carter, who at pres

Governor Carter desires a second
term of office, nor should he be
called upon to assume such re-
sponsibility against his inclina-
ton. 1t was at great personal
and pecuniary sacrifice that he
assumed the office. believing that

shrk
Senator Dowsett arose to the occasion
and replied that he had not intended,
and did not intend, to shirk any duty
but this was a matter applying direct
~ to the counties and as that commit
tee had made a careful study of their
needs he thought best to have the bill
so referred. After which the Senator
from Nuuanu remarked that the apol-
ogy was accepted.
The railroad bill then passed third
reading and the bill for the relief of
Hawaii county in the matter of re
building the road in Kau, destroyed
by lava, was taken up for reconsidera-
ton and on the hard work Of Senator
Hewitt passed over the veto of the
Governor.
THE MARRIED WOMEN.
The bill relating to the married
women teachers met with more serious
objection than anyone would expect.
Senator Knudsen asked why it was d.
rected to them and the introducer said
it was for the relief of young girls who
had fitted themselves for positions In
the schools and were crowded out by
married women whose husbands are
doing we'll in business. There was
considera BILE debate before the consid-
GRAFTON of the bill was deferred.
Senator Hewitt from the Committee
on Education had reported favorably

A communication from Clerk Wise of
the House was to the effect that the
House had agreed upon the Senate
amendments to H. B. No. 12S.

had passed third reading in the House.
Under a suspension of the rules Sen
ator Makekau gave notice of his inten.
ton to introduce a bill relating to
amendments to Section S97 of the Re
vised Laws.
The reading of the amendments to
the municipal bill continued until p.

said that when a petition or other mat
ter was referred to a committee, It
was likely to be lost not only to sight
but to memory dear.
Hustace challenged Harvey to recall
a single instance where a matter had
been lost sight of through reference to

chized the various committees present
on mass of more or less sepe and
yellow questions which had been pass
ed up to them in the past.

A DISMAL SWAMP.

A petition was read from citizens
and taxpayers, residents of Kapahu-
lu and Kapiolani Park Addition, call
ing the attention of the board to the
depIorable condition of the roads in
the said districts.
The petition read in part:
Some time ago the Public Works
Department compelled us to number
our houses, under penalty, and named
the streets. We have no streets, how
ever, only trails, and these in such
bad condition that children cannot go
to school and men going to their
place of business have to wade to
their knees in mud. Delivery wagons
and other conveyances cannot get be-
yond the Park. In consideration of
these facts we hereby petition to have
Campbell Avenue and adjoining roads
leading off from Kapiolani Park,
graded and put in such condition that
same may be used in all kinds of
weather.
John Hodson spoke in support of the
petition.

d place possible to live in. The Pa
loloites had just come through an aw-
full experience by reason of the pro-
tracted winter and if the roads were
not fixed before next winter, Kaeck
didn't know however the homestead
ers were going to get along. He had
seen the Governor without getting any
satisfaction and now, on behalf of the
valley folk, appealed to the board as
a last resort.
The chair advised Mr.. Kaeck and his
neighbors to try hard to interest the
Legislature on their behalf. The coun-
ty could not afford at present to spend
more money on the valley then was
being spent at present. The matter
was finally passed up to the Road
committee.

positions because there were no Vacan-
| cies on Maui.
Action on the bill was deferred until
| Thursday at the request of Senator
Knudsen who is rather opposed to 1t
| but who is apparently open to conVlc-
ton. The measure has strong support
in the House and viii no doubt pass
there.
The railroad bill introduced by SEN
ator Makekau passed second reading
Yesterday without any opposition. 1t
is rumored that it will meet snag
when it reaches the House for some
of the members fear that it is scheme
to unite the plantation roads on Ha-
wall into a belt line and thus claim
exemption. This is not the fact as is
shown by the amendments tackled to
the bill by Senators Woods and Dow
sett.
The passage of a bill over the veto
of the Governor was an incident of
the session and a pleasing one to
the Hawaii delegation for it assures
repairs to the road on Kau destroyed
by the lava flow.
The Senate, or at least portion of
it, had in mind the matter of recon
sidering and passing over the veto the
bill fixing the pay of laborers at $50
a day but in the rush of business al
lowed it to pass over the time allowed
by law for reconsideration of bills.
