ExPESDIrURE.
RUNNING EXPENSES, srEAnen rELE.

RUNNING ExPESsEs STEAMER PILE.
The appropriation was amply sufficient for the
requirements Of the boat and it is believed that
ike amount will suffice for the coming two
years but as it IS something like seven years
since she was thoroughly repaired. and her hull
and machinery require repairs, the extent OF
which it viii he impossible to determine before a
thorough examiostiOn, ii has been decided TO
ask for The sum of $4,000 for that purpose.
SUBSIDY TO VESSEL. or VESSELS TO Run BETWEEN
NOLoKAI AND MAUI
ony little over a half Of this appropriation
has been expended. as no suitable vessel has been
found to keep up the service and although If
properly carried out it would prove great con-
venience TO the residents of the Island of Maui
| and Molokai yet as no one seems ready to under
take The requirements Of the service, the discon-
iinuanee Of the appropriation is advised.
ANCHORS AND sUoYs.
The moorings generally have been over hauled
aud repaired, aud nearly the whole Of the appro-
/ priation is used for that purpose. The same ap-
/ preparation for the coming period is thought 10
/ he sufficient.
DREDGING HONOLULU HARB0R-
None of the appropriation has been used for
/ that purpose, except what is absolutely neces-
sary to keep the machinery on hand IN order
/ But as the sea-wall in the har5or is at any tin
/ liable TO fall in. which would entail q greater or
lesser expense chargeable TO this appropriation.
it woald be advisable to have an appropriation Of
Of the same amount to meet such contingencies.
REPAIRS OF wHARvEs.
More than the appropriation has been expend-
ed for this purpose, aud the Uharves kept 10 good
repair as circumstances would permit A con-
siderable amount Of work will be required during
the coming biennial period. in the way of repIac-
ing piles. planking, carlues, &c. &c ; aDd a.
there Is quite amount of lumber on hand
which has been charged TO previous apprOpria-
lions, it is believed that the sum of $4,000 will
not be more than sufficient to meet the require
ments of the coming biennial period.
LIGHTHOUSE HONOLULU.
This appropriation has been found. as autici-
pated. insufficient for the purpose. This is the
most important lighthouse maintained by the
Government, and is necessarily much more ex-
pensive than all the rest put together az ap-
preparation of not less than Sl.500 for current
expenses will be required. The lighthouse Is
build on wooden piles, which have began to de-
cay more or less, and 1t is thought advisable to
replace them with stone foundation, which is
estimated will cost $500.
REPAIRS OF GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.
The stores occupied by Messrs. Brewer & Co..
aud Pierce & Co., the Custom House, Barracks,
Post-ofice. Telegraph Stations, have all been re-
paired to greater or less degree. The Kerosene
Storehouse in Kalia, southeast of Honolulu, was
found in sufficient to accommodate all the oil Of
fered for storage when the law relating to the
storage of inaammsble oil in Honolulu was put
in force, consequently, large addition was built
on the west end Of the old house.
The Lookup 10 Hilo. Hawaii has been raised
enlarged, and enclosed with o good substantial
fence
A new aud convenient Courthouse has been
built 10 Wsimea Kauai.
During the coming tEo years, the following
work should be done, in order to keep the Gov
eminent buildings in good repairs.
The Custom House in HonoIula. requires q
new roof, and its west wing o new roof
The Royal Mausoleum should have new cop
per cutters at the intersections OF the floor
The old Store-house mauka OF the old Custom
House on Qneen Street, donolulu, should be
thoroughly oyerhauled and given new roof and
hoor. The repairs on the Store-house will prob
ably be better investment than any other ex-
pendituTe chaFgeable to this appropriation, as the
sums received for storage will amount to much
more than the interest 90 the cost Of the requir-
ed repairing.
p Courtbouses and Lock-ups throughout the
country require greater or lesser repairs.
The Increasing Of the population of the dis
trict Of Waikiki, Maui, makes it necessary to |
enlarge the Courthouse Of that district, which |
will cost considerable sam.
Foil reports have been received fns.n the pro- |
per officers with regard TO all the above require
ments and 10 view Of the information possessed |
By this Department 10 regard to this subject an /
appropriation Of $500 is recommended for the /
coming biennial period.
SToREs ayn vraRF4ousrs
Two commodioGs and substantial fre-proof i
warehouses have been erected on the Espanade, |
Honolulu, between the Custom House aud the /
Steamboat Wharf. at 4 cost of SIS ,9l5.3s. They |
have been connected and enclosed on either side /
with the Steamboat Wbsrfby fence, authorised
By the last Legislature, under an appropriation
Of $1,000 Convenient tracks are laid through each
building, leading TO the edge Of the Wharf, so
