The item was inserted.
Mr.. Thurston moved to insert an item
Water pipes to Kalaupapa, $40 600 He
said he had heard that the place was well
supplied with water, but when he visited
there short time ago found it was not so.
There had been some Improvements made,
whereby there was better supply OF water
at Kalawao, but it did not benefit Kalau-
papa A good stream had been discovered
at Waikolu, and if more pipes were laid,
so as to bring water from this immense
stream, Kalaupapa would be well supplied.
1t was q shame not 10 utilize this stream.
He did not believe $4,000 would be re
quired If it was not it would not be
spent.
Mr.. Hayselden moved the item pass at
$4,000, az $4,000 would not be sufficient
The present pipe is not large enough to
stand the pressure, and that is one reason
why the work had not been carried on.
Mr.. Thurston accepted the amendment.
Mr. AhOlo said the committee went to
Molokai, and it may be that they will re-
port that $4,000 would be required. 1t
would be better TO wait until after the COM
mittee had reported.
The item passed at $1,000, and will be
inserted in the Interior Department under
the head of Miscellaneous.
Mr.. Richardson moved to insert i'll the
bureau of Pa bic Improvements an item,

bureau an item, Water pipes, Lahaina,
$1,000"
The item passed.
Mr.. Pahia moved to insert, Laying
water pipes, Hilo, $4,000"
Mr.. Kaunamano thought that that
amount would be required. as it would cost
pretty near 5000 for freight and charges
alone.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved the item pass at
5000. The Superintendent Of Public
Works had made survey, and $4,000
would be required for proper water works
But as the finances were running short,
they could not afford to spend that
amount.
Mr. Dole said there was more water in
Hilo and Wailuku than in other place out
side of Honolulu. They had better look
to supplying drier district with water
Under the present status of finances it
would be better for Hilo and Wailuku to
wait for two years.
Mr.. Kaulukou said it rained in Hilo
and there were also dry spells,
iph ottaD Ia Sta6 tbraa
Mr.. Aholo said it was true there was
good deal of water in Wailuku, but it was
not of the purest kind If anyone were to !
follow the course of the bitches, they would |
not care to use the water. The idea was to |
lay pipes and get the water from above |
these impurities.
The item passed at $15, 900
Mr.. Kaulukou moved to insert, Water |
pipes, Laupahoehoe, 81 800"

Grafton, PAY of keepers of mausoleums,
81 800"
Mr.. Dole moved the item be struck out.
He had no hesitation in saying that this
vas disgraGeful item. There were no
in the country that required
Every member in the House
knew it was folly. 1t was simply going to
support few natives for doing what they
need not do at all. If there was a house
ulI of bones, those men dare not stay
With them all night for fear of spirits.
Mr.. Thurston moved the item pass at
Il 100. At the last session there was APP
Royal mausoleum, 5000, and
Lunalilo mausoleum, $500. Nothing had
)een said as yet to convince him other than
his was a willful waste of money. The
proper places for all these bones was the
Royal mausoleum; they would be safe
here Mr.. KaulukOu talks about patriot
SIN, but he did not care any more about
-he bones of the chiefs than he (the speak
,r) did. 1t was only because picking and
tealing was connected with the item that
Mr.. Kaulukou was in favor of it. Mr.
<aulukou was not looking after the inter
,sts of the people of Hilo, but a steal
Mr.. Kaulukou said he was glad to find
hat Mr.. ThurstOn had changed his mind,
md was in favor of apprOpriating money
or this item. 1t was not a steal. He was
arrying out what his constituents wanted.
