for $500.
Noble Widemanu said the $500 ap-
| preparations bad been made when we had
lots of money and good balances in the
| Treasury at the close OF the biennial
| periods. This is AZ appropriation that
seems to have no feet. II prarleS are to

would support the item as in the bill
Minister Ashford could not support the
| theory that law books are luxury. 1t Is
! q positive necessity TO the proper admins
/ tration of justice that Judges have ali pos
| Sible sources of Information. And it is
particularly important in the case of the
Supreme Court here, as there Is no appeal
| from its decisions. To put the law library
on proper footing would need not less
than 5000.
Rep. Kinney said if he and Noble Castle
rush into each others arms they may both
get left. He could not understand the
position of Noble Smith on this question.
The hon. Noble had taken q position, rs
member of the Committee on Licenses,
with which his present position does not
seem to be consistent. Ii, as the bon.
Noble now says. we are going behindhand,
let us have 5000 for the law library.
which will make but little difference.
Noble Castle accepted the amendment of
Rep. Deacon. Law books are not luxury
they are q necessity. LuXuries are TO be
INDUCED in only occasionally. and that
perhaps may be the case with Noble Smith.
The argument that appropriations have
been made from time TO time and there
fore ought now to be stopped, would apply
with equal force TO the salaries of Judges
and the Cabinet Ministers. The idea Sug
gested by hon. Noble Widemann that the
books would be all stolen from the libraries
on the other islands is only phantasy.
The item passed ut 5000.
