The bills had all been paid and the
claim was sent in to be refunded by
the agent. He had been informed
that Mr.. Cartwright, the trustee
under the will, did not want the
money. He moved the item be in
definitely postponed.
Motion to postpone carried
Rep. Keau moved that the pay of
messenger of Interior Department
be changed to read 81, 900.
Rep. Kalua thought this was
matter for the Munster of the In
terror. There was a messenger who,
if any member went out to see,
would find him trying to keep him
self from going to sleep. This
messenger was perfectly satisfactory,
and he was stationary.
Minister Gibson said an extra
messenger might be needed, but he
had been wondering where he should
place him. Since the introduction
of telephones the services of messen-
gers were not so much needed.
During the day he had delivered
nine messages-eight by telephone
and one by the messenger. 1t may
be that the clerks were in need of
an extra messenger. 1t may be that
an extra one was wanted, but he
had been studying where to bring
him in.
Rep. Kaunamano said the Minis
ter had not been in the department
long enough to know what messen-
gers were required.
Rep. Aholo said there had always
been two messengers in the depart
mcnt. The item ought to be in
serted.
Minister Gibson said, after hear
ing the remarks, his attention had
been called more particularly to the
matter. He had only one messenger,
and that one could not attend to all
the bureaus in the Interior Depart
ment. Looking into the matter he
thought the department should re-
tain the two messengers.
Rep. Kalua said the present mes
senger had told him he could do all
the work, but his salary was too
small.
Noble Bishop said the item could
not be changed on this reading. 1t
had better be put in, "Pay of
second messenger, 81 ,000."
The item passed.
The following items passed:
Translating Books. etc, by

partment,
Motion carried.
At 3: 80 the committee rose, re-
ported progress, and report was

Rep. Aholo moved that the Appro-
priation Bill be engrossed as far as
