shall be expended except upon a reso-
luton of the Board of Supervisors and
this the board refuses to pass when it
| comes to paying witnesses in criminal
cases, so Senator Makekau has given
! notice of his intention to introduce a
| bill repeating Act SO of the present
session. The bill passed first reading
| by title.
Bill No. 81 as follows:
Your Miscellaneous committee to
which House Bill No. "a was referred,
| respectfully report as follows:
| The object of the bill is to take the
| fines and cost which are imposed and
| collected in the District Court, for the
benefit Of counties. The practice at
| tn s time is that all the expenses of the
police, etc, are paid by the counties,
with the exceptions of the pay of
magistrates and few clerks. Some
of the counties, especially the County
of Oahu, are short of funds to carry
the affairs of the county in proper man.
nor. 1t is our belief that tn s is a good
and fair slaw, and ought TO be passed.
We therefore recommend that the law
may be passed with the following
amendments:
L. Insert the words ION those cases
| in which no appeals are TAKEN" after
the word costs" in line two, Section 1.
2. Insert the words thereby made
before the word oscillations" in line
three, Section 1.
The bill which provides that en-
ployes who have not paid their taxes
shall not be employed by the Govern
ment was tabled on the report of the
Miscellaneous committee. The COM
| mittee report on House Bill No. 139
was adopted.
Senate Bills Nos. 81 and 95, reported
above, passed second reading on adop-
ton of the reports.
Senate Bill No. 81 was made special
| order of the day for Monday.
Senate Bill No. 80, relating to the
treatment of leprosy. asthma. consump-
ton and tuberculosis, by any person
having a remedy provided he get a
permit from the President of the Board
of Health, was considered. There was
good deal of opposition to the bill
and Senator Chillingworth rose to the
occasion and declared it highly dam
gerous, adding that thousand million
takers would find their way here and
NHSSuIe the illOHey lTOlll TIE HAWAI-
ians. He moved that the word "shall'
be changed to read may
Senator Bishop expressed fear that
the bill was legislating against all
previous statutes but he had the as
surance from Senator Lane that it was
not.
Senator Chillingworth moved an
amendment so that it would not be
mandatory upon the president of the
board and Senator Smith moved to
put the buck up to the board rather
than leave it to the president to say
whether the man with a liniment made
of Worcester Sauce and French Nou-
gat should be allowed to practise. The
bill then passed as amended
A reply of Superintendent Holloway
to the inquiry of Senator Chillingworth
relative to the oil storage tanks in
Honolulu and elsewhere, was as fol-
lows:
oils are stored by the Government
in Honolulu and Hilo. A warehouse
al Kakaako is used for the purpose.
1t is on land owned by the Bishop es-
tate. The Government was formerly
a lessee but is now a tenant at will.
The tanks at Iwilei were erected by
the Union Oil Co. and the Pacific
Transportation Co. under permission
from James H. Boyd and We're made
Government warehouses by him in
1902. The Government receives a fee
for testing oils in the tanks"
