was the temporary disposition made OF
the matter.
Pass Third Beading.
House Bill No. 80, relating to the
bonds of public officers, passed third
| reading on the motion of Fairchild, re
| ceiving unanimous vote.
Then House Bill No. SO came up on
| the order of the day, and Coelho moved
that it be considered section by sec
| ton. The first section was read by
Clerk Savidge, and Senator Mccarthy
moved to amend it to conform to the
| provisions of the Makekau amendment
| .sThe City and County Act gives the
| Mayor the right of approval, de-
| clared Mccarthy :" We should decide
| this question aside from any consider
alton of politics and there should be no
favoritism. The Mayors appointees
should receive the same consideration
as any others. The amendment has
been carefully drawn with that object
in VIEW
Senator Chillingworth then asked
that consideration of the bill and the
amendment submitted by Makekau be
deferred until two clock, and that
the clerk be instructed to furnish each
member of the Senate a typewriter
copy of the amendment. Chillingworth
declared that he wanted to know the
ground before deciding the merits of
the case. Mccarthy then withdrew his
motion and seconded that of Chilling
worth, and the postponement until two
O'Clock was Endorsed on unanimous
vote.
Senator Fairchild asked for informa.
ton. He said that the Senate should
know the exact amount of money due
how much to Republicans and how
much to Democrats.
Senator Mccarthy said that was a
matter for the consideration of the Su-
pervisors-all that the Legislature was
called upon to do was to pass the en-
abling act and leave the rest to the
judicial consideration of the City
Fathers.
Fairchild was apparently satisfied
with the explanation. The Senate then
passed House Bill No. 20 on second
reading and adjourned to 2 clock.
Mayor in Senate.
There was a gathering of the clans
in the Senate chamber before the af-
ternOon session convened. Mayor Fern
and E. NJ Watson, the Democratic
leader, appeared and discussed the
merits and dement's of the all impor-
tant measure bearing the official title
of House Bill No. 90. When the House
was called to order President of the
Senate Smith escorted Mayor Fern to
a chair beside that of the presiding
officer where the Mayor was an inter.
ested spectator of the proceedings in
connection with House Bill No. 90.
When the Senate was called to order
Senators Fairchild and Chillingworth
were absent and the Supervisors en-
abling act was laid aside for few
minutes. A communication from the
House was received, stating that the
Senate amendment to House Bill No.
20 had not been concurred in and nam
ing Representatives Sheldon, Douthitt
and Furtado as members of a confer
ence committee. Senators Knudsen,
and Makekau will be the
members of the upper house on the
committee.
Notification was received from the
House that the Senate amendments to
House Bill No. 81 had been con-
Cured in.
House Bill No. 81, relating to edu-
cation. was received in the Senate and
passed first reading by title. House
Bill No. 90 was disposed of in similar
fashion.
Senator Knudsen, chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, stated that there
was apparently an error in the House
Concurrent Resolution No IA and that
the judiciary Committees perusal
showed that it concerned the House
solely. He suggested that it be re-
turned to the clerk of the House, which
was done.
Adopt Amendments.
Senator Fairchild was in his seat but
Senator Chillingworth had not yet ar
rived when President Smith called on
Clerk Savidge to read the first section
of House Bill No. 90.
Mccarthy promptly moved to adopt
the first section of Makekau's minor
ity report Coelho offered an amend
ment to Section No. l of Makekau s
amendment, the Coelho addition being
as follows:
''And all warrants heretofore issued
by the Auditor to persons who had
been actually employed by said board
are hereby confirmed, validated, legal.
lied and approved as if said warrants
were issued after the taking effect of
this act.
The Coelho amendment was second
ed by Mccarthy who then moved that
Section No. | of Makekau s amend
ment pass. Section passed on Chill
lingworth s motion. Section 3 on
Goelho IS motion, and the preamble on
the motion of Mccarthy.
Coeiho then moved that the bill pass.
its second reading and it went through.
The Senate then adjourned apparently
we'll pleased with its work.
