No Confirmation Needed
Senator Mccarthy thought that
the Senate should go a little further,
and strike out that section of the
bill which provides that the Board
of Supervisors shall confirm the APP
pointment of the deputy sheriffs. The
amendment was adopted by unani-
nous consent. A vote on the amend
ed bill resulted as follows:
Ayes-Chillingworth Fairchild,
Harvey, Kalama, Knudsen, Makekau,
Mccarthy. Moore, Quinn, Robinson,
Woods and the President. Noes -
Baker, Brown, and Coelho.
Action on House Bill No. 50, fix
ing the minimum pay for all labor
ers employed by the Territory and
Counties at 81 so day, was deferred
until Friday next.
Fairchild Opposed Bill
This bill caused a goodly amount
of discussion, strong effort being
made by Harvey to force IL through.
F'airchild. who was absent when the
bill came up yesterday, asked that
the measure be referred to the Ways
and Means Committee, that he might
have chance to consider 1t care
fully.
Harvey jumped up and objected,
saying that IL would be poor policy
to postpone action on a measure Just
because some Senator happened to
stay away from session.
No Politics
Fairchild responded that he did
not know much about politics. and
cared less about them, but he did
know that the measure, as presented,
was mighty poor business, and was
curtailing the prerogatives of the
Counties to an extent that would be
unwise. Finally a delay until Fri
day was granted.
