Representative Thurston considered the

the price paid for labor was too high. He
had ordered work on that street stopped.
The amount however was included In the
indebtedness He could not say that
there was any legal authority for the
work performed but he personally would
be careful during his tenure of Office to
see that only work authorized was under

ter OF Interior (Guliek) and that Mr.. J.

At 445, on motion, the committee rose
and recOnEened IN Assembly, and Hon. A.
s. Cleghorn reported back the progress
made.
Representative Kaulukou moved that
the report be adopted
Representative Castle moved that the
report be laid on the table He consider
ed that the action Of the Assembly IN pass
ing the item Of 5000 in aid of Mrs. An
tionette Swan was, to say the least. very
extraordinary being In opposition to the
proposed programme Of economy. He
drew attention to the fact that the mem
bers Of the Ministry had retrained from
voting especially when they were pledged
to economy It looked to him as though
the programme of voting had been ar
ranged beforehand
Representative Dole seconded the mo-
ton to lay on the table, also had observed
that two of the Ministers had not voted.
He believed those who had voted in favor
of the item had done so either by mis-
take or IN full intention of footing an IN
warranted expense on the country. The
Ministers undoubtedly understood the sit
Gat1On but did not have the moral courage
or honesty to oppose or vote for the item.
The Minister Of the Interior said he was
sOrTy to hear the remarks of Rep. Dole. I
Hs (the speaker) did not know that the
item aid IN Mrs Swan was to be intro
duced Ii there had been a motion to refer 1
to committee, he would have voted for
It; but no such mo- ton being made. and (
his mind being IN doubt as to the status (
OF the claim. he had refrained from voting +
Moreover the action In the committee was
not final
Representative Dole considered the ex-
PLANTATION made, sufficient to cause him to /
change his mind with regard to the ae-
ton Of the Ministers.
On motion the report of the committee
was approved
The President then appointed the fol-
lowing members on special committees,
