three supervisors elected from each OF
the fourth and fifth districts and one at
large.
Castro called the attention OF the
House to the fact that the bill divided
the county into six districts for cleo
toral purposes.
The Speaker accordingly ruled Ma
hoes motion out Of order as iuconsis-
tent with the bill and Correa's motion
carried.
Kaniho rose TO say that the Oahu
Board of Supervisors would meet that
evening to retrench. as the county was
out of funds. In view of that fact,
the poverty Of the county, he thought
the bill might not be good for this
county. AS a legislator he was in
terested in the measure, not as a resi-
dent. If the act went through the
expenses to be incurred under it would
be in excess of the county revenue.
A motion was made and carried to
reconsider Correa's amendment.
Correa rose to defend his ideas.

bers will be from Honolulu. My
amendment makes it the same as it is
