The Hawaiian gazette., 1890-07-29

S., 200 OF that is reserved for bridge
over certain gulch in Hama. When
there are freshets, it is very dangerous.
There is always freshet there, and a
place where no swimmer can escape.
Noble Cornwell-I want to say that the
honorable members for Hama and Maka-
wac seem to think that it is necessary to
ask for bridges all over the island.
am willing to vote for it as it is in the
appropriation bill.
Minister Brown-The requests already
mount up to 5000. The road tax is
estimated at $13, 900 more, and section 8
contains $57, 600. The Treasury can't
stand this. END 9G Ti-
The motion to pass at $50, 900 was lost.
The motion to pass at $25, 900 was lost.
The motion to pass at $21 900 was lost.
The item passed as in the bill, $19, 600.
Roads and bridges, Molokai and Lanai
$500.
Rep. Kapaehaole moved it read roads
and bridges in Molokai, $4,000. The
committee must bear in mind that from
Halawa to Kalae is forty miles. 1t has
been bad season, the road is in a bad
condition and nothing can be done be-
cause there is no money $4,000 is not
an unreasonable amount.
Minister Spencer-I move it be $4,000
including Molokai and Lanai. l have a
petition from mum Der asking for a road
and | have made inquiries and am salts
fed it is needed.
Rep. Kapaehaole withdrew his motion.
Item passed at $4,000.
Roads and bridges, Oahu outer dis
tricts, $4,000.
Rep Brown move it read $1,000,
and then $1,000 for Manoa, and repair
ing road from Niu to Kaimuki 81 800
Manoa has been very much neglected.
Rep. Kauhi-I give the hon. member
for Honolulu credit for trying to do a very
smart thing. He is trying to capture
So 800 from the money OF the outer dis
tricts and spend it in Honolulu; l don't
agree to that. Everybody knows that
Manoa is in the Honolulu district.
Rep. Kauhi-I am satisfied with the
Government allotment for the Eva dis
trict. hope the item will pass as in the
bill.
Rep. Brown withdraw my motion.
l was a little too quick | don't want to
take anything from the outer districts
Rep. Bush-I am not anxious to in
crease the Appropriation Bill, but l
would like to ask for bridge in Koolau-
lOa, which has been petitioned for. The
bridge think is necessary, and | would
ask tor 81, 800 for the purpose. The Min
lister can use his discretion about spend
ing the money.
The motion to increase s., 500-making
the item SIS, 500-was carried.
Roads and bridges, Honolulu, $53, 900.
Rep Brown move it pass at $49, 800,
so that the two items l referred to may
be specially appropriated.
Rep Cummings asked for items.
Minister Spencer stated it was not
itemized.
Rep. Cummings moved it pass as in
the bill.
Rep. Bush-If personal feelings gov
erned me l would oppose this, for Manoa
defeated me at the late election. But l
favor the motion. Manoa is very import
ant and no attention has been paid to it.
Noble Phillips don't see any reason
for separating this item. In another
place there is an item of $4,000.
Rep. Brown The reason is that it
may be spent nowhere else. l got an
item passed for road once, and instead
of being spent there it went into the Kali
miloa.
Noble Pua's remarks were not trans
lated.
The motion to pass as in the bill was
carried.
Roads and bridges, Kauai, 500 700 /;
Passed

passed.
Pay of Road Supervisor, 81, 900; passed.
Bureau of Water Works: Salary of
Superintendent and Clerk OF Market,
$4,000.
Rep. Lucas moved it be $1,000. He
thought it was position of RESPONSE
bility.
Noble Mccarthy The bill already is
an advance of 81 200 over the last period,
and l think that is raise enough for any
one
Rep. Robt. Wilcox-I move it pass at
$1,000. l think that is plenty enough.
l do not know what the qualifications of
the present incumbent are, but if he is
removed probably no one any better will
be put in his place.
Rep. Kapaehaole-I support the mo-
ton to pass at $4,000. The bureau is
very costly.
Rep. Lucas-The fact that large sum
is going to be spent is all the more
reason for paying good salary. We
must not consider the present incum
bent Perhaps he may be bounced to-
morrow; $1,000 is little enough. Ii we
can't do any better let it remain at
$4,000 as it is in the bill.
Rep. Kauhi-If the honorable member
from Honolulu were the incumbent
rep. Lucas) l think $1,000 would be
enough, and if he thinks he is engineer
enough to hold this Office l shall vote for
$1,000. move the item pass at $4,000.
The item passed as in the bill.
Rep. Kalua moved the committee rise.
Carried.
Notice of committee meetings was
given.
