SPECIAL COMMITTEES.
Rep. Pahia presented the report
of the committee of l3 appointed on
the Police of the Kingdom, with
special reference to the matter of
refunding Capt. VIM. Tell a bal
ance of $3.50 alleged 10 be due him.
Committee recommended that the
sum of $3.50 be inserted in the
Appropriation Bill to be paid the
said Captain Tell.
Rep. Kalua said the report was
signed by only seven members of
the committee, and moved it be laid
on the table till the minority report
is presented.
Rep. Dole said he was member
of the committee of 13, and he had
not seen the report. 1t was, in his
mind, a question whether the report
of majority which had not been
submitted to all the members of the
committee was report at all. He
thought it would be in order for the
President, without any motion, to
return such report to the commit
tee. He moved an amendment that
the report be returned to be acted
on by the whole committee.
Rep. Brown said he had not been
informed that the report was ready
He had been asked if he approved
inserting the $3.50, and answered
no, that he thought it was in the
discretion of the head of the depart
ment to pay less than the amount
appropriated if he found it advisa
BILE to do so, but when an officer
accepted a certain sum, he had nc
right to come to the house for addi
tional pay. The hon. member sai(

of the house fixing the pay of police
men. 1t ought to be left in the dis
cretion of the, marshal, deputy mar
shal and sheriffs.

them. 1t appeared from the state
ment of the chairman that no regula
meeting of the committee has beel
held. If the report of seven mem
bers is sufficient, what is the use o
a committee of 1872
Rep. Dickey said he was mem
Der of the committee of 13. Onl,
one meeting had been held. Som
evidence was taken, but no decision
was arrived at, and the business wa
postponed. He therefore supported
the amendment of the hon. membe
for Lihue. The discussion was car
ried on by Reps. Abolo, Dickey
Kekoa and Keau.
Rep. Kalua moved the previous
question. Carried. The Presiden
proceeded to put the question.
Rep. Castle rose to a point o
