on an early day.
PUBLIC WORKS LOAN BILL.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson read the fol-
lowing statement and notice under SUI
pension of rules:
"Hon. ]. S. Walker, President of Legs
lative Assembly-Mr President: My co..
league, the Minister of Finance, in tie
budget which he has laid before the
House, has shown that the estimated rev.
enues of the country are quite sufficient to
meet the current expenditure of the Gov
eminent. There are, however, expendi-
lures of an exceptional character which,
as His Majesty has intimated in his spec h
at the opening of the session, ought to be
undertaken because they are well calcu-
lated to promote the best interests of the
nation, but which are of such magnitude
and will yield results of such permanent
character, that it is neither expedient nor
reasonable to attempt to provide for them
out of the ordinary current receipts of the
Treasury. The advantages to be gained
by entering upon these expenditures are
not for the present period only, but for all
future time, and it is only just and
equitable that the burden of prOvid-
ing for them should be shared with
US by those who will benefit from
them hereafter. This is a course
pursued by all enlightened Government.
fl,oo NvryIi na &c oil
to consider is whether the enterprise |
have spoken of are of such a value to the
general interests of the community as to
warrant the employment of the credit of
the nation in carrying them out.
" The Government submit for the con-
sideration of Honorable members the fol-
lowing measures as desirable to promote
the advancement and general welfare of
the country, and as proper to be provided
for by loan, viz:
Immigration. ........ .............. $3.50 600
Waterworks for Honolulu ...... 2O0 ono
Sewerage for Honolulu ............ 1Co 600
WharveS. .............. ............. 100 Nn
Dredging Honolulu Harbor ... 5O.OO3
Roads and Bridges .............. 10000
"The provision for these several pro-
posed expenditures by means of a loan
will necessitate fresh legislation, and l
have now the honor to give notice that
will, on an early date, introduce loan act
for certain works of internal improve
ments.
