BILLS COMMITTED.
Bills relating to the powers respect

ties and of the Board of Supervisors
of the City and County of Honolulu
were referred to the judiciary commit
tee. SO was House bill relating to the
assignment of counsel for persons ac-
cused of felony.
Senate bill relating to maintenance
extension and improvement of Homo

ferred to the ways and means commit

Senate bill relating to exemption OF
personal and property taxes was err

alton.
AN ILLEGAL CLAIM.
House bill for the relief of the Vol
cano Stables and Transportation Co.,
Ltd on on second reading brought on
one of the warmest and most signifi-
cant talkfests of the session. 1t ap-
rropriates $3.50 in settlement of claim
of the company named for building
a quarantine station at Hilo, Hawaii,
in November 1908 under the orders
of the Board or Commissioners OF
Agriculture and Forestry.
Knudsen and Chillingworth as ma
jority of the judiciary committee re-
ported against the bill and Makekau
as minority in favor of its passage.
Mccarthy explained that the station
was needed in a hurry on account OF
an epidemic of CHAMBERS among horses
and mules, and Veterinarian Elliot
was ordered to have it built and gave
out the contract without calling for
bids according to law. When the bill
was rendered the Auditor held it up
as not complying with the require
ments, first, that bids must be invited
for any expenditure over $500, and,
second, that no expenditure be incurr-
ed without it's being ascertained if
there is money available therefor in
the treasury.
| Knudsen said the transaction was
simply illegal. 1t was up to the Leg
islature to pass the bill, but. the claim
had no legal standing.
President Smith descended from the
restrum, placing Vice President Kala-
ma in charge, to speak in behalf or
payment. Yesterday, he reminded the
members, they had taken similar ac-
/ ton on Judgment for over $4,000
against certain Territorial officers who
had committed a tort. He referred to
various emergencies of quarantine in
the past, when money was expended
without authority of law.
Knudsen said that in 1903 the Leg
islature ran up against a claim OF
100000 for building a wharf that was
supposed to have been necessary. 1t
was not thought to be the right thing
to do, but the Legislature, paid the
bill. Ignorance of the law was no
excuse but he agreed with Mr.. Smith
that in some cases honest mistakes
ought to be rectified. Unpaid bills In
1903 were frightful but those Of 1905
were less, those of 1907 still less anu
of the present session the least in
amount yet. This continued dwindling
of illegal expenditures was due to the
stringent provisions enacted at former
sessions. This claim should have
come in as an unpaid bill
Woods agreed with Knudsen on the
judicial aspect of the matter, but they
were striking at the wrong man. c. C.

done some damage, for they sent an
emissary up instructed to pay not less
than i've dollars nor more than fifteen
dollars That can be proven and there
are witnesses to tile offer. In the first
place, the poles should have been put on
the opposite side of the road from where
they were put. Again, as they stand, they
are on private property, and by law the
