In going around with the laundry COM
mirtee he had noted the great interest
that sheldon took in the steam laun-
dry plant and ne detected the same
great interest IN the bill presented.
Kaleiopu also opposed the bill as
one aiming TO create a laundry mo
nopoly.
Sheldon closed the debate. He said
the Law applied, il was true, principally
TO the Honolulu laundries, but the Ter
ritory was paying part Of the Homo
nolulu laundry bills by bonusing the
Chinese laundrymen. He opposed the
idea that the bill was a monopoly and
again described the condition Of the
wash houses at Iwilei.

accused Sheldon Of holding a commit

wanted TO know why Sheldon 5 bin did
not eonfne itself 70 abolishing the
wash houses at Iwilei. The orator took

time left.
Rawlins then put in his amendment,
which cuts out the more obvious refer

amendments carried and Hughes added
couple more, one to cut the license
TO so a wear and the other TO cut
the maximum penalty 10 SO.
This last amendment was jumped on
by Rawlins. who thought the bill might
as well otherwise be cut out. The low
fine proposed, he thought, was an invita-
ton to break the law.
In spite of Rawlins objection 10 the
amendments they carried, but the bill
itself was showed under, the vote
