section III OF the Revised Laws pro
vldcs that no person shall be employed
as mechanic or laborer upon any
public work carried on by this Terri
tory, or by any political subdivision
thereof, whether the work Is done By
contract or Otherwise. unless such per.
SON Is citizen of the United States
or eligible to become a citizen. Under
these provisions 1t has been difficult
at times to obtain laborers to do nee.
essary public work, and to extend IL as
contemplated by the bill under consd-
GRAFTON would be illadvised. With the
mixed population of the Territory II
not unfrequently becomes desirable to
employ interpreters and occasionally
policemen who are not citizens; and In
carrying on scientific and other kinds
of professional work it is also desirable
at times to employ persons who are
not citizens.
The report was laid on the table to
be considered with the bill.
Senator Smith, from the Judiciary,
reported, also. on Senate Bill No. -.
The report says:
The bill relates to elections and
methods of voting. Sections / and 2
provide that the ballot boxes and bal
lots shall be furnished by the Secre-
tary of the Territory instead OF the
Clerk of the County, and Section 3
provides that the Secretary of the Ter
ritory shall tabulate the election re-
turns, which provisions we approve.
But the provisions of Sections frem
to 10 inclusive do not meet with our
approval. The main object of these
sections is to provide a new system of
ballots and voting and while the plan
proposed has features which are COM
mendable we believe that they will be
found to be more complicated than the
present system. And we therefore rec
ommend that the bill be amended by
striking out of the bill Sections 4. 5,
s, z, s, and 10, and amend the title
so as to read IAN Act to Amend Sec
tons 81, 3S and SO of Act 80 of the
Laws of the Session of 1905.
With these amendments we recon-
mend the passage of the bill.
Senator Makekau asked that the
Special Committee on Counties return
to the Senate his Bill No. 60, as a 4
similar measure was in the House and
would pass first reading today. The
bill was returned
Senator Hayselden reported on House
Joint Resolution No. = as follows:
Your Committee on Public Lands to
which was referred House Joint Reso-
luton No. 2, relating to a Commission |
consisting of two members of the Sem
ate and three members of the House |
to examine the ownership, etc., of all |
wharves and landings, ETC., beg leave
to report that they have had the mat
ter under consideration and find that
the object of the resolution is to ex-
anime the ownership, condition and
of the wharves and land
ings, and as they are revenue produc-
ing property of considerable value, we
deem it wise that the object of this
resolution be approved.
Your committee therefore recon-
mend the adoption of the resolution.
Senator Kalama moved that the re-
port be laid on the table, saying he did !
not believe the Government would be
able to secure members of the Senate
to travel around the islands for the
purpose of ascertaining what the reso-
luton asked, without compensation. The
motion prevailed.
Senator Hayselden, from the Public
Lands, reported on Senate Bill So as
follows:
This bill has for its object the grant,
ing of the power to the Board of Agri-
culture and Forestry to make rules
and regulations, subject to the approx
II of the Governor, concerning the i'm
portation Of bees and their preserva-
lion, protection and improvement.
The bee industry in this Territory
IS practically new one and Is of con-
siderable importance and we believe
that the object OF this bill in the pro-
lection that 1t grants to this industry !
n preventing the transmission of in
sect diseases of bees is one that should
De afforded to the industry. n
We therefore recommend that the ;
Dill be passed with the following
6
Amend the title of the bill by strik-
ng out the figures and letter 1890 H" {
Ind inserting in lieu thereof the |
lgures and letter 1889 A."
In Section /, strike out the figures |
md letter 1880 H" and inserting in ,
leu thereof the figures and letter 1889 I
\ Wherever the same appear.
