find flee accommodation upon appli-
cation at the Lunalilo Home.
Your committee are therefore of
opinion that, as guardians of the
public funds and property, this
Assembly should make no grants of
public land except where an un-
doubted right exists, or, where the
use to which such land is to be put
will be for the public benefit. This
claim does not come under either of
these heads and your committee
therefore recommend that the same
be laid upon the table.

Rep. Castle moved the report be
laid on the table to be considered
with the majority report and the
bill. Carried.
RESOLUTIONS.
Rep. Kaulukou presented reso-
luton, calling on the select COM
mittee on the loan bill introduced by
Minister Gibson, to return the bill
to the Assembly forthwith, and
ordering the bill to be made the
special order of the day on Thurs
day.
Rep. Castle supported the resolu-
tion, with the amendment that the
committee report tomorrow, and
the bill be made the order for Fri
day.
Rep. Thurston, as member of
the committee, explained the delay
as having been caused by the Minis
try evincing no desire to have the
bill forwarded. The member for
Hilo had introduced several loan
bills already, of three or four
millions each, and just given notice
of another, so that there was no par
ticular need of the Government loan
bill.
Minister Gibson said the eXplana-
ton of the member for Molollai was
about correct. Early in the session,
under different Ministry, several
measures of Importance were intro
duced by the Government, among
others the loan bill. Since then a
"cold spell" had ensued in
the financial affairs, and
it had not been deemed advisable to
move in the matter of a fresh loan.
Still, it might be well for them to
consider scheme for the refunding
of debt by a new issue of bonds to
the amount of million. There
were different internal improvements,
such as an inter-island telegraph
cable, harbor works, ETC., for which
it would be very desirable to borrow
money if they had the precise in
formation thereon which was neces-
sary. In consideration of these
things, be thought it would be we'll
for the committee to report on this
bill, so that it could be fully con-
sidered by the house.
The resolution was adopted with
the amendment.
Rep. kaulukou moved reconsider
alton, as he had not understood the
question.
Rep. Thurston opposed the mo-
ton, saying the original resolution
did not give the committee time.
The hon. member for Hilo was read
ing the EIeie, about the time when
he should be a Minister, or he would
have known how the question was
put.
Rep. Aholo said he also misunder-
stood the question.
The motion carried.
Rep. Thurston, as member OF
the committee, asked that the
amendment be supported, for il
would be impossible for them to re.
port to-day.
Rep. Kaulukou said the resolution
was that they return the bill to the
house.
Rep. Aholo favored the resolution
The amendment carried, and the
resolution as amended.
Rep. Baker moved a suspension
of the rules, to have the electric
light bill (Berger's) read. a second
time by title and referred to com
mittee. He accepted an amendment
of Rep. Castle, that the other bill
(Smith's) be also referred to com
mittee.
The motion carrying the bills
were read a second time by titl'
and referred, after discussion, Il
the Committee on Public Lands and
Internal Improvements.
Rep. Thurston said there wer'
many bills that might be referred t,
committees. He therefore moved
suspension of the rules to take VI
the bills relating to the property O
married women, which carried, AM
the bills were referred to selec
committee.
Rep. Richardson moved to sus
pend the rule and place the bill re
latIng to street railways at the hea

mote steam communication with tn
