General on the police. If paid service were IN
augurated, there would be eonstables in each
district, paid = monthly salary of Sl2. which
would make up the large amount stated in the
report.
Mr.. Hitchcock moved that the item for police
on Oahu, $50, 900, pass as in the bill. COnsdera-
BILE discussion ensued on this motion, the Repre-
sentatiyes feeling that new system sbonld be
inaugurated, and it was thought that provision
had been made for too many eonstables in the
country districts.
Mr. Phillips (Attorney GeneraD said that con-
siderable discretion must be repOsed III whoever
has charge of the administration, and in making
a report it would be impossible to Ioresee ali the
requirements for two years. The present steamer
arrivals, for instance, brought large crowds, and
in the shipping season, extra force was required.
And in the dull times, in reducing the force they
retained the best; so 1t Is impossible 10 say just
how many constables are required. he did not
see how the House could fix the pay OF the con-
stables in all parts of the islands. II 50, then
there was no particular need Of department for
their management.
Mr.. Pilipo proposed to rate the pay of police
for Honolulu from the Deputy Marshal down
thought that $l25.00 per month for this Office
TOO much if reduced to $4,000, another would
take il, If he didn't wish it.
Chairman called the member to order, as his
remarks were aside from the question before the
House.
Mr. Pilipo moved to bring up the pay of police
separately before the House, for discussion by
item.
Chairman ruled that no different motion was in
order till the previous disposed of. If he
wished to insert different sum to make such Il
motion, he at liberty to do so. but not to dis
cuss on individual salaries.
Mr.. Pilipo then moved to amend the item to
S37 ,96O, and pending discussion, the House took
a recess.
House met again at I24 o'clock. Mr.. Pilipo
again took the floor, specifying the items that
made up the amount proposed, and thought the
separate pay Of police should be inserted in the
Appropriation Bill. '
MIR. Hitchcock said he did not see as this House
had any right in thus fixing and regulating the
pay of the police.
Mr. LunaliIo moved to amend to $50, 900 and
that the amount Of $4,000 for the military be
transferred to this as beneftting all parts of the
islands.
Mr.. Lyons thought that the other side was in
error in saying We had no right in regulating the
pay of police for we had right by bringing in
a bill to regulate the pay of the same; but would
move To amend the item to 900.
Mr.. W. p. Kamakau thought we must not
limit or restrict the Attorney General in his de-
partment, lest it not only hinder justice, but cast
discredit upon him and the Government.
Mr.. PiIipO moved to fix the pay of police for
Honolulu at $500 per month, and to append the
same to his motion for the police of Oahu and
deputy constables S37 $50. Notion put and lost.
