Mr.. Kaulukou said there were
only two printing offices at that
time, the Gazette and the =. G.. |
.ldUertiSer.
Mr.. Kalua, thought it was not fair
for one Office TO have printing to the
amount of $4,000 while the other
only received to the amount of
$1100. He knew the u. G.. Id
0ertiSer office was owned by the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, but he
did not wish TO intimate anything,
still lac thought the work ought to
have been more equally divided.
The amount for engrossing was also
commented upon.
Mr.. Aholo, said the Committee
had done their work, as the resolu-
ton had called for, he had no doubt
many members were surprised at
the large expense, after some further
discussion the report was adopted.
Mr.. Kalua, from the special COM
mittee to draft reply to His Ma
iesty's speech, reported the same.
He read it in Hawaiian, but as it had
not been properly translated into
English, il was referred to the Re-
vising Committee.
Mr.. Richardson introduced q reso-
luton that committee of three be
appointed to take charge of the en-
crossing of all bills and joint resolu-
tions that shall have passed the
House.
Mr.. w. o. Smith supported the
resolution; he wanted the work to
be done with care and diligence.
The resolution was carried and the
following committee appointed :
Messrs. Richardson, Rowell and
Frank Brown.
Mr.. Dowsett gave notice of bill
to incorporate the proprietors of q
certain Banking Company, to be
called Bishop & Company, and for
other purposes connected Herewith.
Mr.. Kalua, introduced an Act to
amend Section 43 Chapter A of the
Session Laws of 1882 relating to the
sale Of Intoxicating liquors to native
Hawaiians.
Mr.. Keau, read an Act to increase
the powers of Commissioners of
Water Rights.
Mr.. Hitchcock, offered resolu-
ton that the Minister of Finance
show the discrepancy between the
expenses of 1882 and bis report.
There was difference of about $92.
Carried.
Mr.. Nawahi, offered a resolution
that the Sergeant-at-Arms be in
structed to furnish the House, with
the following weekly papers, Satatr-
day Press, Gazette, Commercial
Advertiser, KWohoa, Pea Ain0 and
Ele1e Poa&o1u. Also the DAILY
BULLETIN and Daily p. Z. Adoer-
tser.
Mr.. Kaulukou SAID that as papers
had been laid on the members table
every morning there was no need Of
the resolution. The press had begun
the session with liberal ideas, and he
had no doubt it was partly from the
fact that their reporters had the best
seats in the House that they wished
to show their liberality by furnishing
papers. He moved the motion bt
indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. Richardson said he had in
struction from his constituents tc
keep down expenses. If we vote fol
the papers a large amount will bC
paid for nothing but rubbish.
Mr.. Nawahi said he was the fathe
of the resolution. He wants to know
what is going on, and he can only
obtain such information through tn,
papers. If we cannot afford papers
we had better not have writin,
paper, books or ink stands.
Mr.. Smith favored the resolutio!
as the House does not keep any
Legislative record.
After further discussion the homo
rable member from Hilo Withdrew
his resolution.
