Rep. Brown spoke of the necessity
of a steamer to run to the leper
settlements, and to carry paiai to
them.
Minister Gibson agreed with the
hon. member for Koolauloa and the
hon. mover of the item. There
were two considerations, assistance
to the leper settlements and the
avoidance Of the great dangers 10
boating. If the item should be
voted, he should at once, as Minis
ter of Interior, publish an advertise
ment calling for tenders, and the
party giving the best assurance OF
doing the work properly should have
the contract. He would that the
item be inserted in the Interior
Department.
Rep. Kaulukou said even if it was
inserted in the Interior Department
the Minister had no authority to
make q contract, without a special
law.
Rep. Brown dissented from the
last speaker, holding that if the
house granted the money in the In
terror appropriations, the Minister
could make a contract whenever and
however he pleased.
Rep. Aholo coincided with the
hon. member for Koolauloa. The
Minister had signified his readiness
to make contract, and it would be
a great advantage to the settlements
to have q steamer. With proper
facilities of communication between
the settlements and the Board o,
Health, there would be less com
plant heard from that quarter. HI
had experienced in his own business
the benefit of the steamer that uset
to run alternately to Maalaea Ba.
and Molokai.
Rep. Paehaole said he would with
draw his motion to insert the itcn
in the Finance Department ant
renew it again under the head o
the Interior Department. He hat
moved it the other day in the In
terror, but the member for Hill
objected that it must 60 in tn
Finance Department, and now whel
he moved it in the latter he was tolC
it should go in the Interior.
+ Minister Kanoa said he was
Minister who understood very littl
English and therefore could hardl
tell what his colleagues said to him
and they could know but little O
what he said to them. He therefor
moved to insert
Paw of an Interpreter. 2.40
