ate amendments were only the little
twists they had given to the dress OF
the measure to show their approval
and were concurred in.
House Bill 81, relating to costs of
court and the filings of bonds, was
verbally amended by the Senate and
returned. The amendment was cheer
| fully accepted, Kaniho alone dissent
/ ing.
House Bill 104, amending Section 2161
of the Revised Laws relating to the
! advertising of enforced sales following
/ the foreclosure of mortgage, was
amended lengthily but, as Rawlins ex-
planned, immaterially. In the tone OF
one suggesting a gift for a spoiled
| baby, Rawlins moved that the House
let the Senate have its own way about
it. This was done.
ANOTHER LAW
The signing of Senate Bill IS, Act
AZ, by the Governor, was announced
In a communication from the Secre-
tary.
Afternoon Session.
A communication from the Senate
apprised the members of the passage
of another House Bill, number lO9, re-
lating to costs and fees. 1t provides
that a salaried official shall not be paid
otherwise than by his regular salary.
An amendment was included, which
Rawins resignedly asked the House to
concur in.
Senate Bill GA was presented and car
ried through it's first reading
PUNISHMENT FOR ARSON.
An act relating to arson was intro
duced by Rawlins. The measure pro-
vides penalties, after dividing the act
into two divisions, first and second de-
gree; the first including the burning
in the night of any building, vessel or
structure or the contents thereof, and
the second the burning of such by day.
The penalty for conviction of the
first degree is life imprisonment or any
number of years, and for the second
degree not more than ten years.
AVA LICENSES.
A bill respecting the sale of licenses
for the sale of ava was presented by
the same member. This measure |
authorizes the Treasurer TO sell licen- |
ses for each taxation district at the |
Hilo. 500; Waikiki, 500: Lahaina, $1C0: |
and each other taxation district, $50.
NO QUALIFICATION NECESSARY. |
Kalana secured the honor yesterday |
of having evolved the most extraor-
binary bill that has been presented |
during the session, being nothing less |
than bill making it mandatory on the |
part of the Board of Health to allow
anybody to treat lepers who may so
desire. The permits which the Board |
shall issue are to be under such con-
ditions and regulation as it shall pro-
vide, but once issued the permit is to /
be good for two years without recall. |
The wording of the act follows:
BE it enacted by the Legislature
of the Territory of Hawaii:
Section /. Section 1927 of the Re-
vised Laws of Hawaii is hereby amend
ed so as to read as follows:
Section 1921 Permits to treat lep-
ers.
THE Board of Health shall permit
any person to engage in treatment OF
lepers or of persons afflicted with lep-
rosy Such permits shall be under such
conditions and regulations as the
Board of Health shall prescribe. and
revocable at the pleasure of the Board
of Health after two years from the
date of such permits issued
WALLACE WOULD BE IN IT.
1t is not improbable that this bill is
presented in anticipation of the Legis-
lature seeing it's way to allowing Wal
ZACH to turn himself loose on the I'M
fortunates of Molokai. In such an
event he could, under such o permit,
practice in defiance of any medical act
for two years.
THE KNOUT TO FOLLOW.
If the act introduced by Kaleiopu,
IAN act to regulate the furnishing OF
information regarding the possession
and ownership of firearms and ammu-
milton within the Territory of Hawaii"
becomes law, it will be a misdemeanor
