Legislative Assembly.
44rH DAY-July 2Otb.
Afternoon session-Continued.

Mr.. f. Brown said that some
thing had come over the spirit of the
Ministry, and had the Minister of
the Interior consulted with the Hon.
Noble Baldwin to help him compile
his report of expenditure, it would
have been in better shape II seems
that the Minister of the Interior
only holds his seat under the pleas
ure of Noble Baldwin. The Finance
Committee, of which Mr.. Baldwin
was member, reported that this
appropriation was IN absolute neces-
sity, and now he says it may he a
good thing, but it can be deferred.
The road is dangerous, and should
be fixed. Only short time ago the
Road Supervisor and his family had
narrow escape from death by fall
ing rocks, and any man who opposes
this item and by so doing makes it
impossible for an appropriation to
be made, and from such neglect
any one is killed on that pail,
such member should be indict-
ed for manslaughter, and should he
be killed in going down the pail, l
would 90 to his funeral with pleas
urc. 1t seems that the district of
Koolaupoko is under ban since
this reform Ministry has come into
power. Before their advent the dis
trict had physician, but they re-
formed him out. Now they want
some money to make road whereby
they can come into Honolulu and
not endanger their lives, and imme-
diately some one moves to strike it
out.
Rep. G. Brown said he had been
informed that good wagon road
could he built down that pail for
$50, 900. He therefore moved TO
make il that amount.
Noble Waterhouse moved to refer
this item to Select Committee. He
said it was an important matter and
one that should have the careful
attention of this House.
Rep. Kinney supported the mo-
tian to refer to committee.
Noble Baldwin replied to the re-
marks of Rep. f. Brown, and said
that he did not know he had such
an influence over the Minister of the
Interior, he would like to have that
influence, especially when he APP
proaches him on some subject and
he bristles up all over. AT con-
ference held by the Finance Com
mitten at which number of people
living in Honolulu were present
this matter was thoroughly discuss.
ed, and it was thought that Oahu
had an undue proportion of money
for roads, to the exclusion of some
of the out districts. The Ministry
saw that such was the case and con
cluded to let this item 90.
Noble Young spoke in favor O
striking out the item, for the reason
that the government has not tn
money TO use for this purpose. Ill
said that he knew something abou
road building and he was satisfied
that $4,000 was not enough I,

nor did he think it could be don
for the amount in the bill.
Rep. f. Brown said we had hear,
a good deal about the reform part
of late, but he could assure tn
members of this House that if hi
district was so sighted, there woul
be no reform candidate at the mex
election.
Minister Thurston said, that sci
ties it, they should pass the item q
once, and thus secure the district @
Koolaupoko to the reform party
The member says he don't car
whether the item is spent, so Ion
as it appears on the Appropriate
Bill. He (the Minister) said b
