THE MUNICIPAL BILL.
The municipal bill was called in its
regular order and Senator Dowsett NOV
ed to defer on account of press of
other work. Senator Coelho was will
ing to adopt the report of the COM
mittee, and all of the pages of amend
ments, holus- bolus, but Senator Smith
said the bill was too important for
any such action. Senator Chillingworth,
seconded by Senator Dowsett, moved
that the Senate go into night sessions
during the week but before a vote
was taken Senator Smith asked that ac-
tion be deferred on the motion until
Monday when the Senators would know
just what amount of work would be
left for action.
Senate Bill No. rs passed third read

Al, which will give the outside papers
a chance at the publication of the legis-

passed third reading but when No. 81
was called a motion was made to defer
until Tuesday, so the bill went over.
The zone man one job bill was
up and Senator Smith moved that it |
be amended SO that one person should |
draw but one salary from the Govern |

and the bill passed thirteen to one. |

third reading and Senate Bill No. 10,
relating to pounds, passed second read |

report published on Saturday.
Senate Bill 10, relating to married
women being employed as teachers in
the public schools, was called and Sen

ator Knudsen, an amendment that would
have wiped out the kernel to the meas
sure and the teachers would have not
been interfered with. The Senator re-
marked that such law might work
a hardship but as it happens that the
husbands of the married teachers in
the Honolulu schools are all doing well
the statement had no effect upon the
champion of the single girl s rights.
He said it was the duty of married |
women to stay at home and look after
the household cares and bring up their
children properly instead of negleeting
them by leaving them to the care of
Oriental servants or allowing them to |
run wild, The fact that these ladies
are willing to teach causes discrimina
