ing the island of Hawaii, has a pop
ulation of $685., of whom 3s,464 are in
the first representative district (East
Hawaii) and 1928 in the second rep
resentative district West HawaiD.

on which the number of senators and
representatives is based, is 34,919, of
whom 1901 are in East Hawaii and
1928 in West Hawaii.

which is the same as the third represen-
tative district has population of 3d.

The third senatorial district Oahu
has a population of 81 1898, of whom
81 ,349 are in the fourth representative
district and 47,367 in the fifth repre-
sentative district.

ai), which is the same as the sixth

Senatorial Changes.
Based on these figures, the reappor-
tionment of senators prescribed by the
Organic Act would be: Hawaii, 4;
Maui, 2; Oahu, q; and Kauai, 2. In
other words, the only change would be
transfer of one senator from Maui to
Oahu.
! Representatives.
The reapportionment of representa-
tives would be: East Hawaii, 5; West
Hawaii, 3; Maui, 8; East Oahu, z;
West Oahu, z; Kauai, 3. In other
West to East Hawaii; one from Maui
to East Oahu, and one from Kauai to
West Oahu East and West Oahu
would remain relatively the same each
gaining one.
