One bill applies as an amendment to
the County Act and another to the
Municipal Act.
Substitute Income Exemption.
Alfonso 5 Income Tax Bill. which had
been raised from the table to take the
place of the Cohen BILL vetoed, was
passed on second reading on report of
the Finance Committee. The commit
tee had retained the number of the
bill but changed about everything else
in it.
Third Readings.
The bill to prohibit the sale of Ger.
tain fish after the same had been kept
on ice, House Bill 13S. was up on third
reading. The bill had been amended
very much in committee and made n
measure proper to enact. The bill pass
ed without debate.
Rice Sees Bait.
House Bill l43, Shingle, to provide
for the establishment and maintenance
of the Library of Hawaii, the measure
through which it is hoped to get a
hundred thousand or so from the Laird
of Skibo, was up on third reading. An
amendment by Rice to strike out the
section appropriating $4,000 a year for
the library, was also read with the
bin
Single moved the tabling of the
amendment, Rice asking for the unau-
imous consent of the House to allow
him to speak upon his amendment.
Shingle refused his consent, "to save
the time of the House" The amend
ment was tabled and Single presented
another, yielding the floor to Rice to
speak upon the amendment, which was
to the effect that the Legislature
"may" appropriate for the expense.
''This is just little bait" said
Rice; "iust little bait to coax the
bill through. He opposed the amend
ment and explained that the library
board could make its arrangements
with the city of Honolulu for the f.
nancial upkeep of the library, the city
being the place to benefit from the
library. He thought the amendment
better than the section it was to re-
place, however, and moved to adopt
it, after stating that it was shame
to think of spending $4,000 year
on library when more important
things had to go under for lack of
! funds. Rice closed by moving the de.
ferring of the bill The motion car.
ried by a vote of the rest of the Ter
ritory against Honolulu.
Street-car Bill Debate.
The air-bral1e street-car bill, House
, Bill 107, which had been pruned at
until all but cars of an unloaded
weight of fourteen tons or over had
been put without the limits of the
measure, was up for final reading Or
questions asked, it was brought out
that none of the cars now in use
weighed over thirteen and a half tons
Nawahine said the intent of the in
: PRODUCER of the bill was to protect
passengers, and he saw no reason why
passengers in a small car were not as
much entitled to protection as thos,
in large car. Coney said the idea
of the Legislature was not to inflict
hardships on any person or corporation
and to make it obligatory to equip al
street cars now with air brakes woulC
mean the throwing out of use of abou
. twenty-five small cars and an expens,
: of $500 apiece for all other cars. HI
believed the present brake as effective
,, and safer than an air brake. Any
brake could only lock the wheels. Nc
brake could prevent a car sliding.
Kaniho asked some questions. II,
wanted to know why it was not posi-
BILE to put air brakes on the small cars
, He was told that there was no room
Kaniho wanting to know how many
passengers these would crowd off.

deferred until TODAY in order that th,
