SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
The Special Committee appointed To consider
the claim of MIR. Keaweamahi Tor 1926, recon-
mend that the subject be indefinitely postponed.
The recommendation is based on the report of the
Secretary of Board of Education, which shows
that the Board never intended that the sum
should be paid.
RESOLUTIONS.
That the bill presented by the Hon. O.. Glendon,
- Vrn 10 IUn UAOn
and l42l, be repealed, and which was yesterday
indefinitely postponed, be now reconsidered.
Carried, and placed in the order Of the day.
A resolution was read on the subject of the
claim of 1925 against the R~eformatory School.
His Fix. Minister Of Foreign Relations pointed
out that this question had been previously put
and indefinitely postponed, and now 1t was re-
produced il a slightly modified form, therefore
he moved that 1t be rejected.
The President said, the resolution differed
from the former one. The amount claimed was
the same, and the claimant was the same per-
son, but now It was presented in a different way,
and he thought the House had n perfect right to
place the amount in the Appropriation Bill.
His Elk. the Minister OF Foreign Relations said
that the Committee To whom the claim was refer
red, had reported 1t an unjust one, and it had
already been rejected, therefore I've thought 1t ought
not to be allowed to be brought before the House
again.

Education, he could throw some light on this
subject for the benefit of the House. After last
session, Mr. Keaweamahi brought a claim for
S226 which had been considered and dlsallowed,
and he was sure the amount was not on the APP
preparation Bill. Not only that. the Board
could not find from the evidence produced that
he really had any claim at all. and it was only
because some member OF the Legislature led him
to believe that he had a claim. that it vas again
before the House. When the appeal was before the
Board, there was only one disseutient. There
being no show FOR the claim they could not pay
it, and as it was public money they had charge
of. every dollar disbursed had to be accounted
for.
On motion to lay the resolution on the table,
it was carried.
Applications for money to make roads were or
dered to be taken up with the apprO priation bill.
A resolution TO amend Sec. 3S8 of the Civil
Code, WAS referred to Committee on Revision.
