I EAVING undone much that
L. might have been accom-
plished and having undertaken
moppurtuuely many Things that
could mean only waste Of time
and money, the special session Of
the Legislature, which has been
in progress fifteen working days
since Tuesday, May fourteen,
ends today with some little REQ
ord Of achievement realized at
an outlay of $4,000 ,r,t q
The Island of Hawaii's needs,
to supply which the special ses-
sion originally was called, have
been provided for and legislation
enacted soon will provide a fund
of 100000 with which the Big
Island can repair the damage
done to roads and bridges by the
storm that swept the island
about a month ago. The food
commission and It's affairs have
been whipped into shape as part
of a general plan to place great
powers into, the hands, OF the in,
coming. Governor. A measure
that will enable Honolulu to pro-
coed with the great work of re-
clamatiofl in' the Waikiki district
has been enacted and Honolulul
has been given a free public mar,
ket. This sums up fairly what
the Legislature has done at it's
special session.
DISPOSITION OF BILLS
When the two houses convene
this morning of the sixty-four'
bills introduced in the senate and
house, fourteen bills viii have
been signed by the Governor
fourteen will be in HIS hands for
action after having passed both
houses, one measure will remain
to be acted upon and will then be
sent to him, and thirty-fve bills
will have been killed.
The one bin held up for con-
sideration after it has gone to a
conference committee, Il is un-
derstood, will be disposed Of
speedily. This has to do with
the Governors contingent fund
AS introduced in the senate it
was sought to fix this fund at
$4,000. The house cut the fig
ures to $4,000. Governor Nc
Carthy himself expressed the be
lief that $4,000 would be sufti-
cient and as this figure was
agreed to by the conference COM
mittec, the bill will be sent to
the Governor this morning with
this sum fixed.
POCKET VETO PROBABLE
or the fourteen bills IN the
Governors hands for action,
only two may be called Of first
importance and doubtless all Of
them will be signed, with prob
ably one exception. The excep-
ton is the measure 10 license
chropractors which passed both
houses after petition for it signed
by three Thousand names, had
been sent to the legislature To
put the measure out of business
effectively it is reported that the
Governor will not act on this bill
until after the close Of the SEES
sion, for it is said the house is
ready to pass it over his veto.
The two more important
measures, which the Governor is
to sign with the others are the
senate measure placing a fund Of
100000 in the hands Of the Governor
TO provide an adequate food supply for
the Territory aud the bill 10 establish
a free public market in Honolulu, Both
of these measures, it ia understood,
have the Governors approval. The
enabling act, so,called, which provides
the means by which Hawaii can raise
the 100000 voted for its relief, also
is one of the measures still in the
Governor s hands and he still has the
senate bill designed to place a check
on disloyal speech, and acts, The, OH.
ers are lesser measures including. The
oct to create q commission to ipyesti-
gate feeble mindedness; the bill to
establish an agricultural experimental
station at Waimea, South KOhala, Is.
