HOUSE HAS YET
TO PASS UPON.
WEIGHTY BILLS
Several important House and
Senate Measures Awaiting
Definite Action

The house of representatives passed
its 81 tn day OF the session today with
only six important bills and one resO-
luton yet to pass through final read
ing Some routine matter remains I'm
acted upon, but the rush OF the clos
ing days should clear up all OF this,
says house leaders. Whether rush
of bills from the senate at the close
of the session will force a continued
session is a matter OF conjecture in
the lower body. The important meas
ures before the house which have not
yet reached the senate are:
Williamson'S House Bill 229 Great
ing a domestic relations court.
Vieira's n. B. 900, transferring the
powers of milk inspection from the
city of Honolulu to the territory.
Conveys II. B. 321, a traffic ordi
n@nce.
Aus II. B. 325 and 1926, making spe.
cial appropriation to meet the extra
expenses of the first circuit court.
Huddy's H. B. 1l2 providing for un'
foreground electric wiring in HilO.
Watkins H. b. 2S7, providing $780,
600 for Waikiki reclamation project.
WilliamSon5 bill to prohibit super
visors from being associated with firms
accepting county business.
This latter bill was introduced Feb
ruary 26, few days after the start Of
the session and has remained unre,
ported upon by the county affairs com.
mittee to whom it was referred.
The agriculture committee of the
house has not reported upon the Hol.
stein house resolution petitioning Con.
gress to investigate contractural rela
tons between small cane planters and
the sugar mills, although the resolu
ton was introduced in the early half
of the session.
In addition to the house measures,

SENATE ARGUES
QUESTIONS
on MAGISTRATES

should district magistrates be pro-
hibited from engaging In private legal
PRACTISE and should they be pension
Cd when they become inflrm and de-
crepit2 The two questions were ar:
Eued a length by the senate yesterday
the solons finally deciding TO answer
he first IN the negative, deferring the
second until today. Metzger explain
ed on the subject of prohibiting mag
istrates from private practise that
many such justices are in thinly pop
ulated districts, where they receive
only $50 or $50 q month and handle
only two or three cases month. They
csnnpt live on such incomes and at
the same time their services are
scarcely worth more than that amount
to the public. They should be per-
mitted to engage In private practise
to augment the income. His colleagues
agreed.
Senator Rice attempted to insert an
amendment in the bill prohibiting dis
lfiet magistrates from private legal
practise. to include county attorneys
and their deputies. The amendment
was killed, on the argument that the
county would lose the service OF the
best lawyers, who generally are able
to make more in private practise than
the salary the counties can afford to
pay them. Good attorneys, If prohibit
ed from seeking private legal work
while in the county employ would not
seek the Office, said the solons.
AS to the pensioning of district mag.
istrates, Writ raised the point that
IN most instances these officials are

position Is sought more for the honor

ported to be in the vicinity Of the
Queens hospital ,FumigatoFs are

have been taken to, prevent a pos.
sible spread. The boafd reports there
is no epidemic Of the disease.
Asked regarding a possible cause
of the four cases, Sanitary Engineer
s. w. Tay said this morning that the
disease Is due largely 10 the manner
of living by the patients and not from
a poor water supply due to low resef-
yoirs. The engineer says the depart

on the water situation. and that the
water in Nuuanu was being given q
