A resolution calling for the number
of judges on the Supreme Court bench
TO be increased 10 five instead of three
and calling upon the President Of the
United States TO so appoint was intro
duced by Rawlins. He explained that
this was the desire of the Hawaii bar
and tending TO produce results better
than under the present system. The
resolution carried.
The Speaker suggested that the mat
ter should be a concurrent resolution
not a joint resolution. as being more in
order and only requiring one reading
The change was made accordingly.
A resolution from KeouIi asked for
$500 TO be appropriated to pay Kauwe
for lands at Hilea taken by the gov
eminent without pay. The resolution
was given TO the Public Lands COM

To extend Desha lane to School street
at cost of $4,000 was what Kalana
asked for and AIawa wanted $500 to
repair the landing at Kailua and erect
a derrick there.
