was hoidtnR up tho House Bills. 1--WE
are not holding up their bills but they
have forty-hve Of our bills up there
and only four days left TO override
any veto of the Governor.
Rawlins thought Il would be proper
for the speaker TO see the President
Of the Senate and see IL there was not
some way to stir the Senate into some
activity and get the House bills back
in time TO do something with them.
The Speaker suggested that COM
munication be sent to the Senate on
the matter and u possible answer might
be back the same day.
THE ADVERTISERS HINT.
Sheldon said that he thought the edi-
torial reference to the matter in the
mornings edition of the Advertiser
should be pretty good hint to the
Senate and should make them take a
tumble.
Kaleiopu suggested that. as there
were only six or seven Senate bills
in the House, they should be rushed
out so that the Senate could have not
the slightest excuse for holding up any
House bills.
The clerk was finally instructed to
communicate with the clerk of the SEN
ate and ask for conference with the
President on behalf of the Speaker.

Senate Bill 20 was amended by Rice,
Who wished to insert an item, "com-
letion of Makiki reservoir, $5OOO."
