Protection of Deer.
Senate Bill 81, to put a closed sea-
son on deer-shooting on Molokai from
March | to September / of each wear,
! also passed and goes to the Governor
for consideration
Kaniho wanted the bill indefinitely
postponed. He saw in the bill the OPP
portunity given deer to trespass on
private property. For the benefit of
the Molokai small farmers he desired
to see the bill killed and the deer
likewise.
Waiwaiole agreed with Kaniho. and
stated that the. damage done by the
deer to the forest overbalanced any
good that might result from the pres
enee of sportsmen on Molokai
Nakaleka, representing Molokai. ask
ed that the bill be indefinitely post
poned. He drew a touching picture of
his island overrun with savage deer
and driving away the inhabitants. He
detailed the things for the other is
lands that the Maui delegation had
helped in and asked now for their help
in return 10 kill the bill.
kapeiopu came out as a defender of
the deer and put all blame for dam
age upon the goats. He iptimated
that it was to allow them to slaughter
off the deer for immediate profit that
the Molokaians wanted the bill defeat
ed. He said, he knew that G. M. Cooke
and Others wanted to have the bill
killed for that purpose.
Cohen said none of the deers he had
ever known had been dangerous, and
he could not understand the reports
of the ravaging deer of Molokai, which
tore up gardens, destroyed crops and
terrorized the country. He thought
the opposition to the bill so ridiculous
that it ought to be treated as joke.
The bill passed, after long debate,
by 10 to IL, with the Speaker voting
in the minority.
House Bill 1913, making the lines of
the electoral, taxation, educational. iu-
dieial and city and county divisions
coincide, passed third reading without
debate
County Amendments Deferred.
House Bill Us, Coney, which trans
fers to the counties the power to make
and enforce ordinances covering all
local police matters and all matters of
sanitation, inspection of buildings,
plumbing, sewers, diaries, milk, ceme-
teries, burying grounds, interment of
the dead and morgue, was up on third
reading. This is the bill drafted TO
turn all matters of health over to the
counties, amended III Difference to the
storm of protest which followed
prompt on the heels of the announced
policy.
House Bill 176 is the same measure
as applying to the City and County of
Honolulu.
Shingle raised question on this bill
regarding the power of the county to
appoint and pay government physi
clans, now that it had been decided to
retain this power in the Territory.
Rice said the idea was to have it so
that the counties could legally also
pay the physicians. The Territorial
pay of $25 month was not enough.
kaleiopu said that he, failed to see
how one man could draw Territorial
and county money too, forgetting pos
sibly that he, while, member of the
Legislature, has been drawing county
money for two years past.
Castro moved to make it possible for
the city and county to employ and pay
''city and county, physicians instead
of government physicians
Single wanted the House to be sen.
sibie and to defer until Monday, by
which time the House could be proper
" informed on the matter. SO far
the vetoes of the Governor had been,
according to President Smith of the
Senate, all ON House bills through
faulty construction.
President Smith may have said
that said Rice, Hbut. as a matter
of fact, most of the vetoes have come
as a result of the amendments made
to House bills in the Senate. If they
would leave our bills alone there would
be fewer vetoes.
And I would like to add said
Sheldon, referring to President Smith,
s'that many of those veto-inviting
amendments came from that honorable
gentleman himself -
Both bills were deferred until Mon
day,
