private parties are ready and wait
ing to get franchise to light the
town.
Minister Ashford said he did not
see any particular reason why this
should not be left to a committee,
unless perhaps it might cause delay.
lie said he must answer some of the
antiquated propositions and remarks
of the last speaker. The Minister
poke of several cities where the Gov
eminent controlled the gas works, and
in some countries bakeries, breweries,
etc, are controlled by the Govern
ment. This was proposition to
give to the Government an income
of about 90 per cent on the outlay,
and thus reduce the cost of the sup
ply to the consumers.
Noble Baldwin said he sided with
the Acknowledgement in his view of
the question. The Government is
now at an expense of $4,000 per
annnm under the present system,
and if they incorporate the lighting
of private dwellings with the system
they now have there will be profit
Of 81 300 per year to the Govern
bent.
The item was referred to select
committee.
The Committee rose, reported
progress and asked leave to sit
again at p. m.
The House then took a recess
until l p. IN.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The House re-assembled at | p.
IN. and went into committee OF the
whole, Noble Townsend in the chair.
to resume the consideration Of the
Appropriation Bill.
Encouragement of immigration, de-
ierred.
Sewerage OF Honolulu, plain
and specification, ........ ST 200
The item of 100000 to encourage
immigration was taken up.
Noble Baldwin moved to make it
$4,000.
Rep. f. Brown moved to strike it

the country that can be used, and
the law now on the statute book can
be enforced and make these people
90 to work. He was not in favor of
the Government paying for the i'm
portation of laborers for plantations.
The item should read, "For helping
| plantation owners to secure labor
ers."
Rep. Kinney moved to defer this
item until after the report from the
Supreme Court received. Carried.
Nuuanu Pail road ....... $4,000
The Minister of the Interior
moved TO strike this item out, as it
is useless to try and do $40 worth
of work with only SIS, and there
were other roads in the Kingdom
that needed the money worse than
this one.
Rep. G. Brown said that if the
people of his district could receive
guarantee from the Minister that
the road would be kept in as good
order as it is now, he would not
urge the passage of this item.
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. 1t 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 a member, reported that this
appropriation was an absolute neces-
sity, and now lie 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
a 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 go to his funeral with pleas
ure. 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 a physician, but they re-
formed him out. Now they want
some money to make road whereby
they can come into Honolulu and
t not endanger their lives, and imme-
= diately some one moves to strike il
out.
Rep. G. Brown said he had been
+ informed that a good wagon road
; could he built down that pail for
: $4,000. He therefore moved to
= make il that amount.
c Noble Waterhouse moved to refer
{ this item to n Select Committee. He
a said it was an important matter and
{ one that should have the careful
4 attention of this House.
Rep. Kinney supported the mo
4 tian to refer to committee.
