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:
81 return herewith, without my ap-
prOval, 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.'
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. 5.
Senate Bill 10, providing for tax ex-
emptlon ON all property used in the cul'
tivation of tobacco, was referred to the
Public Lands Committee. Coelho moved
to insert provision for the exemption
of property used in connection with rub
ber culture but was told that an exemp
tion already existed. Coelho replied
that the exemption now in force would
expire before the three-yeN period pro
! vided in the bill under consideration.
Senate Bill l03, defining the powers
of the representatives of the estate OF
deceased persons, was taken up on see
ond reading and referred to the Judi
ciary Committee. Senate Bin lO4 pro
; viding payment of unpaid claims
against the County of Maui, was refer
red to the Ways and Means Committed
as was also similar measure providing
for claims against the County of Ha
waii.
