RESOLUTIONS.
BY the Hon. Mr.. Rice, that the printing of bills to
come before the House be divided between the two
printing offices i'll Honolulu.
The Minister of Finance stated that as he had just
laid upon his desk an offer from Messrs. Black &
Aud TO do the printing at a fixed price, and that as
his colleague was not present, and the Committee had
had no opportunity of consulting in regard to the
offer, he would move that the consideration Of the
resolution be DOStpOned until tomorrow.
Hon. A. F. Judd supported the resolution of the
Hon. Mr.. Rice, and called attention to the fact that
the work from the Gazette Office was poor enough
as it was, citing inaccuracies and mistakes in the
issue of the Gazette for this morning, and argued
that the printing establishment that issued that
paper had, and would have too much work to attend
to to do justice to all the printing required by the
House. Therefore he was in favor of dividing the
work.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs. who had just
entered the House, said the proposition to divide the
work between the Government printing office and q
rival establishment, was like asking a man who
already owned horses to hire those of another man
because the other man was in the business.
Hon Mr.. Kaukaha said that if a man wished to
take n long ride and found that his horses could not
do the work, he would probably hire others.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs thanked the Hon.
Mr.. Judd for pointing out the typographical, and
other errors in the Government Organ, and hoped
that he would always do so whenever he found occa-
sion. As for himself, he had taken much care and
in the past, in seeing that the Gazette was
free from errors, but that he did not intend to do so
in the future. He promised that he would enquire,
and if the Gazette office could not keep up with the
work, he would send part to the other office Immediate
". He would be very glad to avail himself of the re-
marks of the Hon. Member from Honolulu. and
accent them as a recommendation to the Committee
on Printing, that if they find the printing of the
House is not expedltIously performed, that they may
call in extra help.
Hon. Mr.. Carter rose to say that the resolution of
the Hon. Member from Lihue (Mr. Rice) was clear
and explicit in its terms, that the printing work OF
House be divided between the two printing Offices
this CITY and that he disliked the evasion by his
Ex the Minister of Foreign Affairs, of its express
terms, and his acceptance of the resolution as a rec
TO the Committee TO employ extra help
if they need 1t.
His Excellency C. c.. Harris rose to say that
the Minister Tor Foreign Affairs never "evaded"
anything when he attempted to argue a question
and that though he could hardly expect the same
courtesy from the Hon. member from Honolulu
that he would extend to him, yet the House might;
and that as the Hon. Mr.. Carter was surprised that
the Committee on printing was composed entirely
of two Government Ofhcers,-His TX. the Minister
Finance and limself-be would gladly resign
his position as one of the Committee, a
in whose duties there was neither honor or profit. a
Committee that could not even give advice, one
duty was simply to obey the orders of the
House. and ask that the Hon. Mr.. Carter be ap-
pointed in his place.
Upon motion the subject was postponed until to-
morrow.
