why the automobile men should be
treated any differently"
Hustace advised against any hasty
action. This matter is going to be
laid at my door, as usual" he said, al
though | am taking little part in this
and am letting you do all the talking
have heard already that | was to
bring in an automobile ordinance to-
night that would kill automobiling."
Harvey said what was wanted was
an ordinance that would be enforced
well, the present ordinance is not
being enforced" said Hustace. 1--WE
don't want to waste our time passing
another that will not be enforced.
have spoken to the Sheriff about viola
lions of the ordinance a number OF
times, but II does no good"
SAW LAW BROKEN.
Hustace then told of number of
violations of the law that had come
under his observation, including the
driving of machines by children and
others having no license, fast and
reckless driving, etc. He said he had
talked to the Automobile Inspector and
The latter had said there was no uce
IN complaining to the Sheriff, as moth
ing would be done.
Dwight got tired of the discussion
and reminded the chairman that the
matter before the Board was the
boundary question. THAT has al
ready been settled" said Hustace, ana
although no one seemed to be able TO
understand how II had been settled,
they let it go at that.
In regard to the speed limit Hustace
thought eight miles an hour within
boundaries would be about right.
Dwight suggested ten, but Hustace
objected IF we make It ten, they'll
go twenty" he said. I'VE will made
1t eight and perhaps ten will satisfy
them" This logic appeared good to
;he Board, but Archer was afraid that
they would so hundred to make up
for 1t when they got into the outside
districts.
There was a lot more talk, but the
ordinance finally passed first reading
in the following form, on suggestion
of Hustace that 1t could he amended II
necessary on second and third reading
Section l. Section XIV of Order
No. 5, of the Ordinances of the County
Of Oahu, entitled An Ordinance Re-
lating to the Registration, ldentifica-
ton, Use and Operation of Motor Cars,
IS hereby amended so as to read as
follows:

cupation which actually is at the time
or which might reasonably be expect
ed to be on the highway, or 50 as to
endanger the life or limb of any per-
son, or the safety of any property"
At the request of Hustace, the mat,
ter of the speed limit outside the
boundaries was left unsettled. Hus.
tace thought the matter should first be
talked over with the Automobile Club
and he appointed a committee of three
for this purpose.
A communication from Jack Lucas
was read by the clerk, in which he ad.
vised the Board to go slow in the
matter of passing an automobile ordi.
nance and to appoint a committee &c
investigate and to interview the Auto.
mobile Club and let the members oil
the latter drive them about so they
could see for themselves what was
needed. The committee named con.
slsts of Harvey, Archer and Fern.
