nifty, and that is the charge for con-
nection for water and also for cleo.
trio light.
The Chairman thought of ask
ing that question. 1t would seem
that the provision ought to be the
same.
Mr.. McClellan-wlth reference to
the question OF paying one-half the
expenses. that provision Is copied
verbatim from the provision In the
franchise which Congress passed some
five years ago for Honolulu. The
Honolulu franchise is. of course. a
valuable franchise and It was very
carefully considered. / think, both in
the House and Senate. 1t was shown
there that that privilege had always
been exercised. and the committees
both In the House and Senate became
satisfied that II was a reasonable pro-
vision. This provision as carried by
the legislature was copied verbatim
from the Honolulu franchise.
The Chairman was going to
suggest, In addition. that II the La
haina Company does not ask for that
we need not force II upon them. II
they had asked for It. rs they did at
/ Waikiki, I would let II pass: but II
they are satisfied 1t need not 20 in.
Is there any further comment you
want to make. Mr.. Mcclellan?

suggested an amendment, to make tn,
clause read:
And after public notice published
for a period Of not less than thirt,
days in a newspaper or newspaper,
of general circulation In the Terri
tory"
The Chairman-I think that ought
to be in.

section, on page 6, line 3, where 4
reads 1.-The commissioner. with tn,
approval of the governor. shall pre-
scribe" insert the words, las pre-
scribed above in the case of home

the words for cause"
| The Chairman-"For cause affect
Ing him In the discharge OF hi
duty" or some such phrase as that

State has such n statute. We have
that kind of phrase In our statute

passed on by our Supreme Court IN
one or two instances.
