Veto No. Two.
!, The second veto message of the Gov
ernor during the day ON House Bill
No. 81, was received and read, as fol-
lows:
To the Legislature:
9. return herewith, without my APP
prevail, House Bill No. 81, entitled An
Act to Amend Chapter IA of the Re
vised Laws of Hawaii Relating to Tax
alton, Educational and Judicial Dis
tricts.
"A bill of this general character is
very desirable for several reasons, such
as to make taxation, educational and
judicial districts conform to county and
election districts; to change the boun-
daries of certain districts so as to meet
changed conditions; and to remedy
omissions and defects in the present
laws relating to districts.
1.-THE bill in question, however, not
only fails in large measure to accom-
plish these objects, but in some respects
adds to the existing confusion. 1t re,
lates only to taxation, educational and
judicial districts, and it does not make
these the same as the city, county and
election districts. incidentally, it does
not include certain parts of the Terri
tory in any district and contains some
inaccuracies of description.
While it is an improvement in some
respects upon existing laws, | believe
that under the circumstances the desired
objects may be best obtained by the
passage of a new and more complete
BILL,
A motion to defer reconsideration OF
the bill to Monday was carried, the
same day set for the consideration OF
the veto on House Bill No. ).
