The Hawaiian gazette., 1884-08-06

On reassembling the Committee continued
the consideration Of items connected with the
AppruprilEiuu Bill as fellows.
The Minister Of Interior asked permission to
introduce two Items for Insertion in the Bill.
enc being the encouragement Of Immigration
and the other the extension Of the water sup
ply for Honolulu.
Representative Hitchcock stated thar ne was
! member Of the COMMITTEES having the item
fur Lmmig grafton under consideration lnd the
COMMITTEES had recommended the insertion Of
SJ00,0Q0, but 10 be used solely for japanese
Immigration. Que vessel with Portuguese WIS
low about due from the Azores, and he UNDER
stood that there was safieisnt money on hand
70 pay the expenses. From japan the ship
ments we're expected To include $500 male,
ami $500 female adults; and about 5,GQSchil-
dren. The children would be brought free,
but the adults would cost about S55 per head.
Eight vessels i year were expected, and the
return from the planters was expected to be
about SIt0, 600, making the real cost to the
Government about SI60, 900, including the
SjQ, 600 already voted. He thought that the
Portuguese ImmigT1iiGn had better be Bus-
pended Tor the present. Il might however be
advisable to insert provision IN connection
With the item, that IN case the Japanese In
migration gets blocked then privileges be given
to use the appropriation fur Portuguese
Representative R1well considered that while
"a a rule 1t seems necessary to limit explicitly
the Uses for which appropriations ara made,
yet IN tins instance Il seemed advisable 30 give
the Ministers some latitude, he moved that the
item be passed ls follows. Encouragement
OF Japanese Immi. grafton, unless such be found
impraeiieable, $500 600
Representative Smith said that the Minister
OF Interior viii also require an apprupriatiou
far accuunt Of incoming Portuguese The Min
lister had not money enough nov, unless he
used the money he would receive from tie
planters That money however, should be
turned into the treasury, and II was therefore
necessary to have IN apprupriation to pay the
sIi0,G due.
Representative RswelI lsksd the Minister Of
IELsrior If when the appropriation was made,
cd that contemplate the return Of money, re-
ceIVed from the planters, into the Treasury?
The Minister Of IntErlGr said that the sun
Of s250, 900 was asked for Gu a reduced basis
If immigration aud with the intention of re-
suruiugiall moneys collected, into the Treasury.
l. should be borne IN mind that with anv Iess
sum than the $40 900 asked for, the schena
cannot be carried cut to the extent originally
intended, and there will be less number 0f
peoFls introduced. He considered 1t hardly
wise 70 let u Of cue rope Until we had grip

Hon A $ Cleghorn favored the item
