of lighting. AT the present cost of
$40 per lamp per annum, sixty
needed lamps would require about
$4,000 A total appropriation of
S1G,00 would, he calculated, cover
the necessary increase in Honolulu
and the lights needed in other towns.
He therefore moved to make the
item $4,000.
Mr.. Hitchcock withdrew his
amendment.
Mr.. Pilipo considered it was better
TO walk in darkness u little longer
than to go into debt for light. The
Government had to pay $50, 200 in
September on account of debt. Min
listers and representatives were
equally responsible for the increase
in appropriations which he had OPP
posed.
The item passed at $4,000.
The Select Committee recon-
mended the dsbandment Of the
armed force and the sale of horses
and equipments, and the appropria-
ton of So, 900 to meet liabilities.
Mr.. w. o. Smith asked the At
torney General why the horses and
equipments were not sold. Last
night he had been summoned from
his residence to quell serious dis
turbance, in which mounted police
man while drunk threatened his
family and neighborhood with his
carbine.
Minister Neumann said lie had no
right to sell the property until this
House so instructed him.
Mr.. Kauluiou moved that five
horses be retained and transferred
to the regular police service.
Mr.. Dole opposed the amend
ment, as no appropriation had been
made for mounted police.
Mr.. Kaulukou said that difficulty
was easily met, and advocated the
furnishing of the police with a
"Black Maria wagon rs well as
horses.
Mr.. Nawahi moved that five
horses be placed at the disposal of
district magistrates.
The Chairman ruled that only the
appropriation of the money asked by
the Committee was before the House.
The item of $4,000 to cover
mounted police liabilities passed.
Mr., Dole moved that the Com
mittee, when it rises, recommend the
House TO order the sale of mounted
police property.
Mr.. Cleghorn spoke in favor of
retaining some of the horses for the
use of the regular police. He had
had occasion to send for police as
sistance, which could not be afforded
in time unless an express were en-
ployed.
Mr. W. o. Smith suggested that
it would he better to sell those
horses, that were unsuitable for
regular police service, and buy fresh
ones adapted to the work required.
He Furthermore thought it would be
more advantageous to have police
men billeted in suburban districts
than to have them sent there when
wanted.
Mr.. Doie's motion carried.
At ~ the Committee rose and
reported progress, and its report
was adopted by the House.
Mr. Richardson rendered a verbal
report of the minority of the COM
mittee on $4,000 for palace stables,
recommending that $500 be ap-
propriated for repairs.
Upon Mr.. Rowell moving to adopt
the minority report.
Mr.. Kaulukou rose to the point of
order that verbal report was
inadmissible.
The chair ruled that it would re-
quire q two-thirds vote to accept a
verbal report.
The question was put to accept
and negatived, and the minority was
directed to submit its report in
writing.

and settlement of homesteads was
finally passed.
