The item passed at $1,000.
Rep. Dickey moved to insert
Moving Courthouse from Maka-
wac to Paia........... 1000
Passed
Rep. Kekoa moved to insert
Repairs to fence round Court
house ut Puma. a..............S 10
Rep. Richardson moved So.
Minister Gibson would call the at
tention of Mr.. Kekoa to the item,
"S10,000 repairs Government build
ings, contingent" which the house
had passed. He thought this item
would cover repairs to all Govern
ment buildings. If reference were
made to him as Minister of the In
terror he would look into the matter
and see if he could not squeeze SO
out of the $4,000. He would not
like to see an Item of $40 in the APP
preparation Bill.
The motion to insert the item in
the Appropriation Bill was put and
lost.
Rep. Richardson moved to insert
Courthouse and Jail at Wailuku
and Repairs. s................S 5000
He reminded the house that Wal
luku was the second District in the
kingdom in the revenue it returned
to the Government.
Rep. Castle was afraid the amount
was not enough, but it might serve
the purpose of making the much
needed accommodation for prisoners.
There was large floating popula-
ton in the District, and the Jail was
often over-crowded. The letter in
the Gazette, describing the condi-
tion of the Jail, was absolutely COR
rect, and if the state of matters
there mentioned continued it would
be disgrace to the Government.
The item passed.
Rep. Castle, with regard to the
petition for improvements to water
supply of Wailuku, said there was Il
difficulty in the absence of plans
and information A proper supply
of water for Wailuku and Kahului
would yield large revenue. An
obstacle was that the sources of
supply were in the hands of private
parties. At wild guess it would
probably require $4,000. Such
works in this little kingdom should
be in the hands of the Government.
No one had given notice of any bill,
the only reference to the subject
being a mention of q supply for
IIilo in Rep. Kaulukou's loan bill.
He moved to insert an item of S 900
for preliminary surveys for water
supply for Wailuku. Carried.
Rep. Richardson, with regard to a
petition for a market at Wailuku,
said there seemed to be no hopes of
getting it this period; therefore
moved the matter be laid on the
table. Carried.
es-Contingent. ........S l0,700
Minister Gibson, in reply to Rep.
Thurston, said the late Minister of
Interiors report called for SIP 900,
and on careful consideration the
Government found that $1,000
would be necessary.
Passed.
