Carried
| Consideration OF the Appropriation bill
Hon. A. ). Clegorn III the Chair.
Bridge and grazing PunchbowI street
$4,000,
Mr. Brown asked ii this was for work
already done
His Excellency Mr. Gibson said it was
among the debts owing for work done.
Mr.. Brown said he noticed the work had
been done by Chinese.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson said he had
stopped the gang at work on that street.
Mr.. Brown asked whether the work had
| been contracted for or whether the men
were paid by the day.
Hon. Mr.. Walker said the Chinese were
paid at the rate OF so month.
The item passed as in the bill.
Bridge and grading Kinau street, 5000.
Mr.. Thurston said this was very high
sum of money. He thought there were
other streets that needed repairs more
than Kinau street He would like to know
what amount had already been spent on
the street.
Mr. Kekoa moved to strike the item out.
There was no necessity for any immediate
work TO be done on that street 1t WOULD
be better to spend the money where
needed.
Mr.. Keau asked il the money was fol
work already done.
: His Excellency Mr. Gibson said he had
ordered the work stopped on that street.
He was of the opinion that too high price
had been paid for labor.
Mr. Keau thought it strange way of
carrying on road repairing. He hoped
that hereafter money would be spent
where appropriated, and not in places
where not required.
His Excellency Mr. Gibson said the
amount is included in the statement of in
debtednesS. The Interior Department i
owing for it. He knew nothing of the au-
thorization of the work In future, if he
had the honor to be Minister of the Int
rior, he would certainly take care that
work authorized by the Appropriation bill
would be carried out.
Mr. Kaulukou said the late Minister OF
the Interior had this work done, and Mr..
Patty advanced the money to pay for it
Mr.. ThurstOn tells me that Mr.. Patty ought
to lose his money, but that is not the view
of liberal minded man. Certainly he did |
not approve of the conduct of the Minister |
still the money had been advanced by Mr. |
Patty, and should be paid.
The item passed in bill.

Hon. Mr. Bishop said that if Mr.. Keau

taxes will be less the next two years.

next two years the hospital would not re-
,eive something from the estate of Queen
Emma.

-ain.
