The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1886-09-07

Rep. Brown aid the hon. member
for Hilo seemed to think he was adj
dressing body Of Road Supervisors
instead of the Representatives of the
Kingdom. He was of opinion that
members were here TO make better
provision, if possible, for the road
service and to see that the money
for the lettering of the roads be ex-
pended in proper manner. The
amendment was accepted and the
section passed rs amended.
Section provides the compensa-
ton for Road Supervisor, to be
determined by the Minister of In
terror, and not to exceed ten percent
of the road tax available for the
year and that the other commits
sioners receive three dollars per
day, when on actual service.
Rep. Wight moved to strike out
the last sentence. If q district can
not find two men to act on the road
board without pay, the district de-
serves no road.
Rep. Kaulukou said there were
few men like the honorable member
for Kohala, but that he was too old
to serve.
Rep. Wight thanked the honor
able member for the compliment,
but said if he was appointed on the
road board, he would serve.
Rep. Kaulukou moved to amend
by substituting "ten" for three
dollars, as compensation to commits
sioners.
Rep. Dickey said if the commits
sioners received ten dollars per day
each for their services, there would
be little left for the roads. He did
not approve, however, of their serv-
ing without compensation.
Rep. Aholo proposed to split the
difference, and moved that five
dollars be inserted. This amend
ment was accepted, and the section
passed as so amended.
Section 6. The respective Gov
errors, and on the Island of Oahu,
the Minister of Finance, shall from
time to time pay over to the several
Road Supervisors the amount of
road tax available from the collec-
tions and any other road moneys
coming into their hands, and the
Minister of Finance shall cause any
moneys from time to time lying in
the Hawaiian Treasury, belonging
to the road work of the Kingdom,
to be paid over to the Road Super
visors of the several districts en-
titled thereto.
Rep. Kaulukou moved the section
be indefinitely postponed.
Rep. Dickey moved to insert after
the word cause, ''the amount of un-
expended road tax now dine the
several districts, as per Appropria-
ton BILL
The motion for indefinite post
ponement, as also the amendment
were put and lost. Section passed
as in the bill.
Section Z, was slightly amended,
and passed, as follows:-
Section Z. On or about the first
day of July in each year, if it shall
appear on inspection of the Board
of Road Commissioners that the
roads and bridges of any district are

pended balance of road money of
such district shall, on the requisi-
ton of the Minister of the Interior,
be paid over to the Governor, and
shall be expended for road work in
any other district of the same Judi
cial Circuit where it may be re-
quired, or if no work is required it
shall be held as a contingent fund
for future use, and the responsibility
of the Road Supervisor shall cease
when such money is paid to the
Governor.
