Rep. Browns motion carried.
The following items were then
passed:
WATER WORKS.
Laupahoehoe water works. S 1000
HilO water works ....... 1900
Rep. Kinney moved TO insert
$4,000 for the survey of Hamakua
ditch, etc.
Noble Baldwin said that $4,000
rs reported by the Committee was
an ample sum for the work that is
to be done. If surveyors are going
there to suck Government pap, then
$4,000 will he hardly sufficient.
Noble Wight said he was in favor
of making the item $4,000 and en-
tent the Investigation to Kohala
and see if water could he taken there
also. The appropriating of $4,000
does not necessarily involve the eX-
penditure of said amount. He said
that he should strongly urge a thor
ough investigation of this water
supply and the feasibility of carry
Ing the water O0tn ways.
Noble Smith moved to amend by
using the words 'sfor survey and
investigation of a water supply for
Hamakua, $1,000" He said he
did not like the word "etcetra." 1t
might imply great deal. He
amended his pmendment by insert
ing the word "Kohala." He said
the member for Hamakua is about
to get up. If he wishes to conline
this survey to Hamakua, he is like
that animal we were discussing when
the House adjourned yesterday.
Rep. Kinney spoke in favor of
spending the money for Hamakua
only.
Noble Young said that the Hama
liua people had made business
proposition to this House. Although
he was in favor of bringing water to
all dry places, he should favor the
expenditure of this money in Ha-
makua only, and if the Government
have sufficient money then another
appropriation may be made for Ko-
hala.
Noble Hitchcock said the amount
asked, $1,000, was not sufficient for
both these surveys. 1t could not
he done. AS there is at least 6 OF
Z miles of bush to level through be-
fore one can get anywhere near the
water in Kohala. Therefore he
should support the motion of Rep,
Kinney.
Noble Wight said that something
had been said about the people of Ia'
makua paying for the water, and nc
proposition had been made by the
people of Kohala. He said that lie
was to blame for that, for after the
last session, he had stated in Kohal;
| that the Government would prob
ably make survey of this water
supply. He had no doubt but thai
the Kohala people would gladly pay
per cent to the Government or a.
much as the people of Hamakua.
Rep. Paehaole moved to make thu
item $500. Lost.

Noble Baldwin moved TO insel
$4,000 for road between Wa
luku and Lahaina. He said tn;
this was no new item. 1t had bee
repeatedly before the Legislator,
but nothing had come of it. 1t wa
a notorious fact that the averag
life of people living in Lahaina an
Waikiki was at least years les
than that of any other district, 0
account of having to cross this mis-
cradle road. AS the House was
a good humor for passing road item
he had no doubt this item woul
pass.
Minister Thurston said that h
should support that motion, as
believed that all the money avail'
Bile should be spent on the road
And the sum of S48,000 for Il
Pail road, he thought could be mo
prolitably spent on the COUNT
roads. He should move to stril
