Before the senate adjourned late
yesterday afternoon, two important
bills were sent through third reading
and will now go to the house. Both OF
these relate to Honolulu: one pro-
vides for the transfer to the city OF
the water and sewer systems, and the
other would give Honolulu means to
widen and otherwise improve the
streets. Little objection to the. sub
stance of these bills has been, made,
though they, are both amended in a
number of places The latter was IN
troduced by Senator Judd and has
been termed BY DR.. Pratt the most
important piece of legislation before
the senate"
