lscnberg for all except the item,
"Road from Lahaina to Maalaea,
$4,000" There was an appro-
priation for it last session but not
enough to complete the road.
Noble Widemann asked if that
road was for the general benefit.
Noble Cornwell responded that
the hon. Noble and others having
kept the court ut Lahaina, it was
necessary TO have decent road to
that place.
Noble Widemann denied the soft
impeachment. lie had only voted
with the majority in order to move
reconsideration, but another mem
her had saved him that trouble.
Noble j. NJ. Horner said they had
just voted 100000 for Honolulu,
and the country had right to some
of the public improvements. Homo
lulu was not the whole kingdom,
nine-tenths of the wealth of Honolulu
was produced in the country. When
the country asked for a small share of
public improvements il must have
it. (Applause.)
Rep. II: w. Wilcox did not sup
port the motion of the hon. Noble
from llamakua, but he believed in
llamakna getting its share. He
would vote 100000 for Hamakua
if necessary, but he saw no neces-
sity for select committee. The
Government had investigated the
wants of the respective districts,
and committee would have no
fresh data TO guide it. Its members
could only sit and look at each other.
He favored considering these items
one after another.
Noble Widemann said he had
taken a good many opportunities of
opposing the late Minister of the
Interior, and hoped he should have
few more. But in this matter of
road damages he believed Honolulu
owed the late Minister debt of
gratitude, for the energy and pluck
he had shown in street widening and
Improvement. This item at least
should be passed.
Noble lScnberg withdrew his mo-
ton.
Minister Brown moved TO amend
the item to $50,316.
Passed at S50,3lG.
Hawaii, South kona, S37 800.
Rep. Apiki moved to insert $15,-
600 for q road in liau.
Minister Brown, presuming this
was for the road from Kau TO the
volcano, said it was in the hands of
Il committee and could be dealt with
when that committee reported.
Rep. Apilii said this was the road
from Hilca TO Pahala, on which the
Government had already spent some
money.
The chairman said the report of
the public lands committee simply
recommended that the resolution be
considered with the bill.
Rep. Apiki explained that four
miles from Hilea the road branched
in TWO. The branch to Punaluu
would cost $4,000, that to Pahala
SIP, 900.
Rep. Kalua thought it should be
Sl5, 900 for roads in Kau, and the
Minister could see that it be expend.
ed as needed.
Minister Spencer supported the
motion of the hon. member for kau.
There was a piece of road from
fIilea to Waiohinu, and there was 8
road from Pahala to the Volcano
while there was absolutely no roao
in the middle of the district. II

Noble Widemann had wanted de
tails of the &c., item in the bill

Noble j. Nj. Horner thought thes

before committee. His knowledg
had been that Wailuku had bee

His district wanted money only L

passible.
