REPORTS.
Kep. Brown presented report
from the select committee on the
item of 100000 for support of priso-
ners, as follows:
To the Hon. j. S. Walker, Presi-
dent Legislature Assembly-Sir:
Your special committee to which was
referred the item Support of Priso-
ners, $90,000," respectfully beg
leave to report that they have had
the same under consideration, and
are of the opinion that the item
should be divided, and the
sums appropriated be placed under
two heads, as one portion of the ap-
preparation will be expended in pay
ing the expenses of management,
such as pay of physician, of the
deputy jailor, clerk, chaplain, turn
keys and overseers of Oahu Prison,
and also in paying the jailors and
overseers of all other jais and pri-
sons on the islands, and also in pay
ing all other expenses of the different
prisons on the islands, to include
also the paying for photograping of
prisoners. All the above enume-
rated items have heretofore been
paid from out of the item, "Sup-
port of Prisoners, although strictly
speaking they do not come under
that head. The committee therefore
recommend that the item be amended
so as to read as follows:-
Prison management, to include
pay of physician. jailors
IN nfn
Support of Prisoners. rs........... $4,000
Thus leaving the latter item for the
support solely of the prisoners con-
fined in the different jails and pri-
sons on the islands.

On motion of Rep. Richardson the
report was adopted.
Rep. Brown also read minority
report and sub-reports of the COM
mittee of thirteen on police pay as
follows:-
To THE Hon. j. S. WALKER, Presi-
dent of the Legislative Assembly.
SIR AS one of the committee of
thirteen, to whom was referred the
items, "Pay of Police of Oahu, Ha-
waii, Maui and Kauai" l herewith
beg leave 10 report that it is impos-
sible for me to concur in or recon-
mend that the report presented by
other members of the committee to
this house on the 10Th inst, be
adopted.
In the first place, the assignment
of pay for the deputy sheriffs and
police for the outer districts of Oahu,
are made up without any regard to
the area of the districts OF the num-
ber of inhabitants. The pay of all
deputy sheriffs in my opinion should
be equal, and no discrimination in
their pay should be made, in any
district. further think it impolitic
for this house to fix the pay of
police officers; that should be left
to the marshal and sheriffs, who are
better able to judge of the amount
that should be paid and how much
the services rendered are worth.
The report of the committee pres
! ented on the 10Th inst. adds a sum
of S4D,SO0 to the amount asked
, for in the Appropriation Bill
; and it is submitted that the
Attorney General from the in.
, formation laid before him is ,
better judge as to the amount re-
quired for the police department OF
, the different islands than this AS
sembly. The pay of the deputy
{ marshal has been already passed by
this house, and should be taken on
: of the appropriation for the police o
} Oahu.
AS this house has been asked Il
, economize, il seems proper here Il
remark that where the Ministry asl
for certain sum WHICH according
D to their estimates Is sufficient for thl
e purpose for which it is asked, it i
bad policy to recommend the pass
/. age of items which increase th'
I amount asked for in the sum o
e S4O,800. i am therefore of TIN
opinion and recommend that TIN
0 house pass the items as they stant
