Mr.. Dole opposed the increase as theTe
had been great deal Of unnecessary print
ing done The President of the Board OF
Health had no authority.to print the large
reports on leprosy is he had done. He
ought TO have raid for them ont of his own
pocket.
Mr.. Hayselden said that Mr. Dole was
entirely wrong, as the President OF the
Board Of Health had all the power neces-
sary to print anything relating TO leprosy.
His Excellency Mr. Gibson said the
great countries had sent reports on this
subject. and the Ministers deemed il neces-
sary that anything connected with this
great malady should be published. He
had another item, printing Of an index OF
land grants and sales by the Crown, which
. he thought could be included in this one as
he proposed.
The item passed at 500
His ExceIIency then moved to insert,
Purchase OF Lunalilo lot, adjoining Alii-
olani Hale, 50 coo"
Mr.. Dole seconded the motion and the
item passed.

Conveyances, $500. Passed

Mr. KaulukOu moved the item be
amended to read:
For the encouragement of the cultiya-
ton of ramie, to be expended in accordance
with chapter 48 of the Session Laws of 1884,
and not otherwise, $4,000.
Section 1 of chapter As of the Laws of
1884 says: "The Minister of the Interior
is hereby authorized to pay to any inven-
tor, or his assigns, the sum of ten thou
sand dollars, whenever said inventor or
his assigns shall produce and patent in
these Islands machine or other method
for cleaning the ramie or any other similar
fabric, cheaply, thoroughly and suitable
for the market of the world
Mr. Kaulukou said there were other per-
sons cultivating ramie besides the Hawaii
an Ramie Company. The machine used
by this company was an old one.
Mr.. Dole said he thought that Mr.. Kau-
lukou knew more about ii watermelon
than ramie machine. This machine
used by the company was not an old one.
The Governments agent had examined it,
and reported favorably on it, and the late
Minister of the Interior said that the COM
pany had earned its money.
Mr.. Hayselden moved the item be
amended to read as follows:
Encouragement of ramie culture, $1,000,
to be paid planters OF ramie at the rate of
$50 per acre for ramie ready to be cleaned.
Mr. Thurston hoped these amendments
would not pass, and that the item would
be voted for as recommended by the COM
mittee The Hawaiian Ramie Company
had gone to a great deal of expense in the
matter.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Haysel-
den was put and carried.

ramie cultivation and manufacture, to be
paid to such company upon the exporta-
ton of ten or more tons of ramie fibre, to
be sold at not less than 800 a ton, 81 500.

ramie, $1,000, to be paid at the rate of
5000 for eacn ton to the owner or owners
of the best machine or machines that will
best prepare the ramie for the market, at
the lowest cost to the producer.
The amendment carried.

iian Ramie Company, for the cultivation of
ramie, So 900.
