Plan OF
BOTANY GARDENS

Recommendation to table House
Bill So, setting aside certain lands in
South Hilo district for botanical gar
dens, was made by the senate lands
committee this afternoon in its report
to the other memoers.
The bill came to the senate only
after a close vote in the house, taken
after considerable debate on the mat
ter
According to the report filed this
afternoon there are too many original
lessees on the proposed district TO
make such a change feasible The
city of Hilo has also recently erected
a $4,000 rock crusher on the land, it is
said. 1t was felt that adequate ground
for the high school there is already
provided.
House Bill 8. providing for disposi-
tion of house lots in Waiau Iii of PHI
honua, South Hilo, by lottery was de-
clared favorable to the committee.
The report recommended the tabl-
ing of House Concurrent Resolution 3,
which measure authorized the land
commissioner to issue patents to all
applicants under Section 73 of the
Organic Act, stating that the commits
sipner is now carrying out his work
with expediency and no such resolu-
ton is necessary.
Committee Approves Two Bills
House Bills 1873 and 81, the only
two handed down by the senate judi.
ciary committee today, were given
favorable mention in the report of
that body.
So many bills have been tabled so
far by this committee that one senator
remarked under his breath as the re.
port was read this afternoon, Some
body must nave had a superstition
against tabling bills on Friday"
Be that as it may, however, these
two which relate respectively to at.
tachment and to a time limit when
executions shall be retnrnable found
favor in the eyes of the committee
Rumor has it that not less than half
a dozen bills are slated for the AK
next Monday.
Would Protect Sheriff
On the former bill the report points
out that under the present law bond
is required but this bond makes no
provision for case where defendant
is declared bankrupt It frequently
happens that attachment is taken out
and the defendant goes promptly into
bankruptcy with the result that the
sheriff is without his proper costs and
charges. The committee finds it rea-
sonable to allow the sheriff protection
through the plaintiffs bond.

BILL WOULD PROTECT
EQUITIES IN REALTY

Senator M. C. Paeheco proposes to
introduce next week a bill ito estab-
lis equity for the protection OF pur-
chasers of real estate"
Pachecos plan Is to provide that
purchasers of property who have made
a certain portion Of their payments to
real estate companies shall have some
sort OF possession to the land.
At the present time, he says. pur-
chaser may have got land on the in
stalment plan and made nearly all OF
his payments thereon and yet be ousted
from it if, toward the close, he may
be unable to make payments. Pacheco
feels that some law to protect the
home buyer to certain extent al
least should be made and the bill
which he plans to introduce next week
will look toward this.
