mended that his pet measure, II. b.
| l2o, TO divide the present county Of

been carefully nursing all session, be
tabled. The committee stated In its
report that there have been many OBJ.
jections to the passage of the bill from
various business interests and others
on the island of Hawaii; for the req.
sons that were the present county di.
vided into two, II would greatly com.
plicate county matters and would en-.
tail great expense. The committee was
OF the opinion that the matter Is a
serious one which should be left to the
entire people of the island for decl.
sion. For the Legislature to undertake
to make the division at this session
would be to assume grave responsible.
lty without being In position to act
intelllgently in the promises.
kawewehi was frantic and jumped
to his feet to move the tabling of the
committees report. He spoke long
and loudly in support OF his bill. his
chief argument being that as the Coun.
ty of Hawaii has the money to afford
such n luxury, they might as well
spend 1t to run two. counties instead
of one. He concluded by moving that
the report of the committee be tabled
ana the bill referred to special com.
mittee from the island OF Hawaii.

his experience he had never heard of
such a thing as tabling the unanimous
report Of committee on bill and
referring the bill TO another commit.

and being seconded, must be put.
But, the Speaker added. the special
committee to which Kawewehl want.

to do.
kalelopu opposed the bill on the
ground that the expenditure of so
much money for extra salaries would
leave less for the road laborers.
Kawewehi talked again in support
OF his bill, dwelling on the fact that
It would not take more than s25, 900
to pay the salaries Of the officers OF
the new county, leaving as much MS
S2S'OCO to be expended on road work
etc.
Kaniho likewise expressed the opin.
ion that 1t would be a shame not to
create new county and INV n few
