AFTERNOON SESSION.

ton Bill.
The first item was $4,000 for pay
of road supervisors, formerly de-
ferred till the special committee
should reports on road bills.
Rep. Brown stated that the CON-
mittee had reported, recommending
a change of system.
Rep. Richardson moved the item
pass.
Rep. Thurston thought that was
going it blind. What amount did
the committee recommend?
Rep. Brown said the committee
had recommended nothing. 1t was
impossible for them TO have recon-
mended a specified amount. He
favored having sum voted separ-
ately for each island. The road
supervisors were, according to the
bill, to be paid ten percent of the
road moneys.
Rep. Hayselden said that then
$4,000 would not be too much.
Noble Bishop asked if the super
visors were to be paid by the person
having charge of the road taxes.
If so where was the need for an ap-
preparation:
Rep. Brown said they were, and
If the bill passed there would be no
need for the appropriation.
Noble Bishop favored again defer
ring the item, and moved accord
ingly.
The amendment was lost.
Rep. Brown interposed as the
item was about to be put, with the
objection that it was not according
to law. He read the law on the
subject, under which he claimed
separate amounts should be voted
for the different islands.
Minister Gibson saw nothing in
the law to prevent the money being
voted in lump sum.
Rep. Brown could not see that the
Minister of Finance could expend
the money under a single item.
The item passed.
Next was SGT ,376.17 unexpended
road tax, to be expended in Districts
where collected, which was deferred
till reported on by Finance Commit
tee. 1t was pointed out that the re-
port having been received and
adopted, all that remained was for
the Secretary to insert the amounts
for each District making up the
item, as recommended.
The next item of S12O,OOO, road
tax of 1886 and 1887, to be eX-
pended in the Districts where col
lected, previously deferred, was
passed.
Minister Gibson called attention
to another deferred item, 1000 for
proportion of cost of bridge, Kapaa,
Kauai. He had letter from Mr..
Spaulding, asking for $4,000, in re-
turn for which he would admit the
public to the bridge. This could
not be entertained, and he moved to
strike the item out, which carried.
Rep. Kauku moved to insert,
Bridge over stream at Honoko-
hau, Maui. .................. $4,000
Rep. Kalua moved it be referred
to select committee on roads, which
carried.
Rep. Kalua, on behalf of Rep,
Kauhane, absent, moved to insert,
Roads in Kau.. 1000
Rep. Richardson moved to refel
to the same committee.
Rep. Aholo said it was already
before that committee.
Rep. Kalua moved to insert,
Water Pipes in Waiohinu, Hawaii $50
Rep. Thurston was not aware
there were waterworks in Waiohinu
and thought this ought also to b.
referred to committee.
Noble Martin said the reservoi
was fed by the fume for carryin,
cane, therefore the water was no
clean. The amount asked was TO
laying pipes direct from the reser
voir to the source of supply.
Rep. Kaunamano thought he oh
ject was good, but once grant th,
improvement to Waiohinu, and Hill
and other places would demant
similar favors. He moved the iten
be deferred, as this and simila
items were before a committee
which would likely report tomorrow
Carried.
Rep. Kalua moved to insert,
NJ. Kealoha, for land, recommended
by Finance Committee. SO
Rep. Dole thought, in all such case
the reports 6 committees should b
produced. He could not remembe
that report, although he had N
doubt the hon. member for Lahain
remembered it, but it was not saf
to- depend on individual memory.
3 Rep. Richardson moved the iter
be. deferred till the secretary foun
the report, which carried.
, Minister Gibson desired to cal
, attention to several new items TO
the Interior Department. The frs
was
Repairs and additions to Homo
lulu Water WOrks......... $1,000
, This was not inserted in the bill q
first, for several reasons. The SUI
of S175, 900 was voted last session
but it was to come out of loan an
