600 for the extension of Queen
street, as recommended by the Conn
mittce of Public Lands.

like to see these items consolidated.
He did not know whether Honolulu
was getting its share of the money
or not, but as he reckoned it, $780,
600 were on the Appropriation Bill,
for the island of Oahu and Hawaii,
seven-eights as large as Oahu, only
500, 900. He would like to see
these amounts all together, and then

the top of Punchbowl was discussed
at length. Noble Smith moved to
refer it back to the Finance Com
mittee.
Noble Baldwin was in favor of
making it toll road, but thought
the item should be referred to q
Select Committee, and then the Min
lister of the Interior could cart them
up there on 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 a Committee,
and further, he would furnish every
member of this House with a horse,
: and would accompany them to the
: top of the hill on next Saturday af-
t ternooon, so that they could see for

4 Noble Hitchcock said he coult
begin to see a 'nigger on the Woo
: pile" in piling up all these appro
S priations for bridges and roads
h He thobght some one had beer
o round and started the members t.
e propose these items, in order tina
: the Governors might have some
t thing to do. 1t seems absurd to ap
+ propriatc money for a bridge over
: stream that is dry 364 days in thu
year.
t Rep. Mcclure said he was borl
+ in the district and had never seeI
t the stream dry yet, but on the con

o Minister Thurston said that thi
c district has S2S, 600 to it's credit TO
e roads and bridges and he though
e that no more should be appropriat
a ed. If the House is going on thi
J. way, they will soon swell the apprC
r priation bill II million dollars, and
It is evident ;hat all these project
V cannot be carried out, and then til,
IS Ministry will get the credit of nc
doing their duty, and the people i
e the country, will urge it upon thei
Representative to kick them out
|. The motion was lost.
