acted by the Legislature by publishing
the same in newspapers published In
the English and Hawaiian languages.
The amendment proposed by the bill is
to require that such laws be published

titled AN Act relating to Reserved
Questions, Amending Sections 1859 and
1863 of the Revised Laws" and we rec

while the bill does not recite at
length the two sections as amended, the
nature and purpose of the amendments

mend that the bill be amended SO as
to set forth the whole sections"

THE MATTER OF POUNDS.
Senator Hayselden from the Commit
tee on Public Lands reported on the
bill relating to pounds as follows:
''Your Committee on PubliS Lands
report having had under consideration
Senate Bill No. 10. relative to pounds,
which was referred to this committee
for recommendation. The bill as in
troduced in the Senate provided solely
the change from territorial to county
control, making no change in the law
as 1t exists and which has been the
law in force since 1898. The bill was
referred to this committee and the pas
sage of same recommended in the first
report as dealing solely with the ques-
tion of transferring jurisdiction to the
counties.
Upon the second reading of the bill
mary amendments were offered, ma
teriany changing the Act, an effect
which the bill as introduced and as
first reported upon by your committee
did not contemplate, thereupon the bill
was referred back to your COMMITTEES
to take up the material alterations
made by the suggested amendments.
your committee called public meet
ings for discussion and finds that in
terest centers on Section 10 (as amend
ed) Of the bill relating to unfenced
cultivated lands. This section in the
oiibiidl Dili pTONlueS IIldl tue OWHeT
of unfenced cultivated land shall not
be entitled to claim any damages by
trespassing other than the sum of
twenty-five cents (s.25) for each ami
NAL together with fifty cents $50
per head for catching and conveying
to the pound, provided for in Section
16 as amended.
THE Wahiawa small farmers appear
ed in force before your committee and
presented their views strongly and
there seems to be some merit to their
complaint. The locality presents pc
culiar conditions, which perhaps do
not prevail to such an extent within
such a small radius in any other part
of the Territory. Small adjoining sec
lions OF land have here been taken up
for small farming cultivation and no
community of interest spirit has yet
enabled them to get together in shar-
ing the expenses of fencing.
''Those on the outside where damages
occur from trespassing stock feel safe
from annoyance and refuse to share in
the burden, which then falls on the
Adjoining these cultivated unfenc-
ed lands are large pastoral tracts and
this has caused considerable friction
In this locality. The small farmers
