I not live by bread alone, something was needed
/ for the spiritual existence. He understood that
report was prepared and 1t was probably now in
the printer hands. Had been assured that there
| is report aud that would be one reason why he
should ieprecate hasty action. He was further
! informed that a gentleman of scientific attain
ments. acquainted with the country and the Ian
I guage would take hold of the work and would
\ prosecute il in a more scientific manner.
Representative Castle (interTuptingl desired the
4 Minister to give the name of the gentleman.
The Minister of the Interior (continning) did
not consider It proper to mention the name At
present, thought it would be very indiscreet so
/ to do. He hoped that there would be no hasty
action in the matter, and thought that it would be
better to defer discussion until the Report of the
| Board was before the House.
After lengthy debate the motion to refer the
resolution to the committee on Education was lost
| by the following vote:

AFTERNOON SESSION.
and Immediately thereafter Rep. Aholo from the
Finance Committee presented the following re-
port. signed by all the members, viz:
Your committee, in accordance with the in
sturctions of the Assembly, have examined care
fully into the matter of the item CT road tax un-
expended We find that the amounts reappropri-
ated under this head by the Legislature of 1882
and 1884, and the amount now proposed by the
Appropriation Bill, are all incorrect
Your committee therefore, ascertained first the
correct amount unexpended in each district on
March 81, lSS2, by careful examination of the
0ookS or the Finance and Interior Departments.
10 these amounts are added the receipts in each
district during the four years ending March 81,
1886. From the amounts thus obtained we de-
Quoted the amount expended in each district dur
ing said four years, and the balances thus ob
tanned are the amounts which should be now re-
appropriated.
"Your committee present herewith a statement
showing the above calculations in detail. and re-
commend that the balances of road tax unex-
penned IN each district shown therein be ap-
propriated separately in order that confusion
may arise hereafter on this subject. If the
amount is appropriated in lump sum, the Min
lister of Finance has no means OF knowing when
any district overdraws as he has only an account
with the whole appropriation; but if it is appro
prIated by districts he see at glance if any
attempt to overdraw Is made.
The total amount of road tax unexpended in the
districts where collected as per said statement is
$15,116."
The above report supports the statement made
originally by Rep. Dickey. On motion the report
was approved.
The Attorney-General gave aotice of intention
to introduce bill relating to the punishment Of
the counterfeting OF revenue or postage stamps Of
the Kingdom.
On motion the "Order of the Day. was carried,
bring up the Appropriation Bill for consideration
The Assembly resolved into Committee or tho |
Whole, Hon. A 5. Cleghorn in the Chair and items
under the head of Miscellaneous items were |
considered.
The first item presented, Support of Prisoners, |
$4,000" caused discussion.
Representative Bro9n understood this item to
be for the food and clothing of prisoners, but out
of last years appropriation SIS 4S7.S9 paid for
salaries OF officers, which did not include the SAL
airy of Jallor, Oahu Prison; SSS6.75 for capturing
escaped prisoners; Se93.94 for hay and grain: S5-
32IOl for Incideutals. He did not think these /
items should be included in the appropriation but /
should be made separate. Application had been /
made to the Privy Council for $4,000 to carry on 4
the prison, and this was included IN the indemnity
bill. He thought that the present Minister of the
Interior shoGld ask for separate appropriations
for iailOrs, turnkeys and incdentals He believed
that all the supplies for the prison were out under
contract. Therefore if the Minister of the Interior
examines those contracts he will be able to give
the exact to be inserted in the Appropriation
Bill He moved that the item be referred to the
Minister of Interior for presentation IN detail.
Representative KauIukou moved that the item
pass as in the bill
Representative Kaunamano moved that the item
be referred to a select committee the Minister of
IuterIOr ba of the c0mmikfaa Oarria1
Representative Kalua moved the insertion of a
new item, which passed. as follows:
Road damages TO okainapau.---.-...SJ 500 %
Representative Kaulukon moved that an item
be inserted IN the bill. He would call on the Min
ister of Interior to explain the necessity
The Minister of Interior said he could not speak
authortauyeiy IN the matter, bat would refer to
Hon ]. 5. Walker who was chairman of the com
mittee of the Privy Council who had charge Of the
disbursements on the occasion.
Representative Castle supposed that the item
should pass, but az there WAS a lack of insorma-
tIOn he moved reference to n special committee
Representative Hayseldsn stated that he was a
member Of the PriVy Council Committee having
charge OF the disbursements. 5000 bad been ap-
prOpriated by the Council, and nearly all Of that
amount had been spent
Hon. j. >. Walker stated that something over
81 1900 had been appropriated by the Privy Coun-
cil for various items or this, $1,000 had been
appOrtloned toward the expenses Of Queen En-
mas funeral, S5,905.78 Of that had been expended,
and the vouchers were in the Treasury. There
should be some definite understanding with re-
gard 10 the payment Of Priyy Council orders from
the Treasury; he not very clear regarding the
proprieIty Of payments himslf. 5000 was paid
to the Intsrlsiand s 5. Co., for the services
dered III searching for the schooner Ka Moi;
S7,Oll13 had been paid to the Queens Hospital
that amount having been accidentally omitted
from the Appropriation Bill, although provided
for by 4 joint resolution Of tbe Assembly.
Representative AhOlo moved 10 insert as follows:
Funeral expenses Of the late Queen Emma,
81, $685." de said the Privy Council had voted
10 pay certain Of the expenses, bat there are
