GOVERNOR V[TOES ENABLING BILL
GIVING SOME REASONS WHEREOF
The House Will Sustain the
Veto and Put in Another
Bill to Pay Actual Workers
for Work.


Yesterday, the Governor sent his |
first veto message to the House and |
the veto was, as predicted by the Ad- |
vertiser, of the Enabling Bill. After
the session a meeting of the Speakers !
Cabinet was held at which it was de,
eided to sustain the veto when the
vote is taken on Monday and to in.
troduee another bill which will meet
the Governor g objections. This new
| bill win provide for payment for the
| public road workers who actually did
work and will omit all reference to
those who served as appointees of Mayor
Fern but who failed to find that to
which to lay their hands.
This was the first veto message of
the session.
Three appeals were made to the
House yesterday morning to vote down
the Moore Whisky Bill if it should
pass in the upper chamber. The Maui
Board of Supervisors presented form
al disapproval of the Moore bill; seven
ty odd petitioners from Maui asked
that the Legislature frown down any
and all attempts to change the present
i liquor laws in any way, and seven
hundred and more residents of Homo
lulu petitioned for the same thing,
| pointing out that the law was work
ing well now and that the people had
. EXPRESSED no desire for any change.

Resented by Cohen and its first read
