had been opposing the grabs getting
discouraged evidently. as they did not
even vote against the raises. Hughes

speech about the hardships of the Ko-
hala magistrates, brought out a ques-
ton from Sheldon as to the where

well at the beginning of the bill.

sible for having the Kawaihae ma
gistrate raised to $50 and the magis-
trate of Hanalei was boosted to

something and suggested IS a month.
Finally after the members had argued
over the relative Importance of Lanai

having been informed that there was
no police force on Niihau. He also
asked that the remarks made be
stricken from the records, Rawlins in
the meanwhile having suggested the
appointment of justice for Laysan.
