The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1888-07-24

the top of Touchdown was discussed
at length. Noble Smith moved to
refer it back to the Finance Com
mittee.
Noble Baldwin was in favor of
making it q toll road, but thought
the item should be referred to a
Select Committee, and then the Min
lister of the Interior could cart them
up there on a picnic, and get on the
right side of them. He should move
that the road should not be built
until after the road from Wailuku
is made.
Minister Thurston said to show
the House that he was in dead earn
est in this matter, he was in favor
of referring this to Committee,
and further, he would furnish every
member of this House with horse,
and would accompany them to the
top of the hill on next Saturday af-
ternooon, so that they could see for
themselves the beauty of the scene
as witnessed from that place. Re-
ferred to Committee.
Noble Wight moved to insert S.
600 for road from Honokane TO
Waipio, Hawaii. Carried.
Rep. Mcclure moved to insert
$500 for bridge over Waiakea
stream, Hawaii.
Noble Hitchcock said he could
begin to see a "nigger on the wood
pile" in piling up all these appro-
priations for bridges and roads.
He Thought some one had been
round and started the members to
propose these items, in order that
the Governors might have some
thing to do. 1t seems absurd to APP
propriate money for bridge over 6
stream that is dry 1854 days in the
year.
Rep. Mcclure said he was bort
in the district and had never seer
the stream dry yet, but on the con
trary it was often impossible. The
item passed.
Rep. Paehaole moved to inser
$1,000 for bridge over the Halaw;
stream, Molokai. Carried.
Rep. Nawahine moved to inser
50, 500 for two bridges at Waihee
Maui.
Minister Thurston said that thi
district has S2S, 900 to it's credit 70
roads and bridges and he though
that no more should be appropriate
ed. If the House is going on thi
way, they will soon swell the appro
priation bill million dollars, and i
is evident that all these projects
cannot be carried out, and then tn
Ministry will get the credit of no
doing their duty, and the people il
the country, will urge it upon thei
Representative to kick them out
The motion was lost.

listed that there was considerab
log-rolling about these appropri

sum, unless it was TO tickle SON
voters, and conciliate others. IL
item passed as in the bill.
