Fernandez
On motion of Mr.. Kaai the bill passed
Third reading OF an Act to provide per
manent settlement for the widow OF the
late John E. Barnard.
Mr.. Kaai moved the bill be amended 70

thought other Government officers widows

THE APPROPRIATION BILL.
Mr.. Brown moved the House proceed
with the consideration of the ApprOpria-
ton bill. Agreed to.
The House resolved itself into Commit
tee of the Whole, Hon. Mr.. Bush in the
Chair.
Mr.. Brown said that the item support
partment, was wrong. The item was re-
ferred to a special committee, who recon-
mended the following items in its place
Support of prisoners, $50 900; maintenance
of prisoners, pay of physicians, etc, $685.
600" The correction was made.
The Interpreter then read the items in
the schedule, commencing with the Civil
List. After the first four items had been
read Mr. Kalua moved to insert III. r. H.
Princess Poomaikelani, 81 600"
Mr.. Keau said this settlement was given
to the Princess on account of her long and
faithful services as Governess of Hawaii
and not because she was a member of the
Royal family The item ought to be in
serted under the head of permanent settle
ments.
Mr.. Aholo thought they had better first
go over the bill and see if the items were
correct. ANY member wishing to insert
an item could do so.
Mr.. Castle thought it better to act upon
the items they went along.
Mr.. Thurston favored the latter action,
as some of the figures were entirely differ
ent from the revised estimates.
Mr.. Brown favored the motion made by
Mr.. Aholo. They were sitting as a COM
mittee of revision.
Mr.. Hayselden said the committee had
no right to change or increase items. All
they had to do was to see that the Secre-
tary had inserted them correctly. The
committee could recommend the House to
insert any items.
Mr.. Aholo said he did not consider this
the second reading of the bill. They had
been adding new items and making
changes. They want to see now whether
the Secretary had got the items in cor
rectly, as far as they had gone.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare moved the Sec
rotary read the bill seriatim for the pur-
pose of correction only.
Mr.. Castle said that if they were going
to read the bill through and then go over
it again to make corrections, it would
take double time
Hon. Mr.. Walker did not see any object
in the bill being read through, as each
member had a copy before him. The
had better take action as they
go along otherwise time would be
wasted
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson said they
were on the second reading of the bill,
and could not take any item and change
it, only on third reading.
Mr.. Castle said this was a committee,
and had to make recommendations to the
House. The House had not yet passed
one item.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare thought it
would be best to review the bill, and check
the items to see if they were correct.
Mr.. Kaulukou said he supposed the COM
mittee on this reading could insert new
items, but could not change any, only on |
third reading. Mr.. Castle was wrong in |
stating that no items had been adopted by |
the House The reports of the Committee !
of Whole had always been adopted.
Mr. Hayselden moved as an amendment |
that the schedule of the Appropriation
Dill De considered item DN llelll ASTeeu /
to.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare said if there
was al error it would be pointed out.
The bill was then read item by item.
On motion of Mr.. Hayselden the item |
% Purchase of current Hawaiian literature |
to he placed in the library, $3.50" was /
transferred from the miscellaneous items /
in the Interior Department to the de- !
partment of Foreign Affairs.
On motion of Mr.. Thurston the item, |
'Ookala landing to be paid to Ookala |
Sugar Comany, $1,000" was transferred /
rom the Interior Department TO the Blu
reau of Public Improvements.

ZIG, 600 " under the head of the Bureau of |
Board of immigration, was struck out.
