Your committee therefore beg 10 re-
commend that the bill pass, and the
Minister Of the Interior be requested TO
execute an agreement between the Ha-
waiian Government and the said .Sher-
man Bartholomew, his associates or as
signs, under the conditions above named
and set forth w. III. RICHARD,
A. MARQUES,
Jos. NAwAHI.
THos. K. Lucas.
Rep. Kalua-I did not sign the report
as had not time to read and consider it
carefully. I thought the company
ought to furnish some guarantee that
they will really complete the work
in the specified time. l therefore move
that the report be laid on the table until
can bring in report.
Noble Widemann-That the thing is
a swindle is amply proved by the late
Minister of Foreign Affairs taking fee
of $1,000 dollars for looking after the in
terests of the company. Mr.. Bartholomew
is my authority. | know this now. |
did not know it two years ago. l opposed
the bill because OF the insufficient means
provided. To connect Hawaii and Kauai
with decent cable will cost $500, 900. |
am not opposed to cable. | would vote
for good one, but it is rubbish that We
are going to have. s2l 900 can be no
inducement to healthy corporation to
construct a cable. They had this induce
ment offered two years ago, and under it
they brought us this (showing speci-
men of the cable laid. l do not object
to extending the time with new con-
tract. But we would not have either of
the cables shown us now for subsidy of
$25, 600 / am ready to vote 500, 900 for
the object. 1t will necessitate new
law | can't vote for a cable like this
that they have tried to stave US off with.
| fully agree with the member from War
luku that they ought to furnish guar
antee that they will really do what they
agree to. 1t was the same with the gas
company. They would have the law.
1t stands on the Statute book, but the
gas is not here yet. l second the motion
to table the report until Rep. Kalua can
bring in his report.
Rep. Rickard-The report was pre-
scented to the hon. member from Wailuku
to sign He read it, read it twice, and
made no objection to it beyond the state
ment that he thought it ought to be
translated.
Rep. Kalua--I stated at the last COM
mittee meeting, not this morning.
Rep. Rickard-I merely make the
statement to show that we have not
rushed the report in. The exhibition oil
the specimen by Noble Widemann has
nothing to do with the case. Whether
it costs the company 500 900 or $500, 00C
is no business of this Government. II
an extension of time is granted a cable
| of this nature Showing sample) will be
laid. Upon this specimen We based oul
report. The telegraph instruments. as
mentioned in the report, are OF the mos
approved kind.
Noble Baldwin-This is not the time
to discuss the question, and We gain no
thing by discussing it twice.
Rep. Lucas-I was one of the Com
mittee who recommended the extension
of time. This piece of cable which has
been brought in is something which wa
thrown away. 1t was picked up by ;
boat boy / think the Government
already has good guarantee. The com
pany has $4,000 or 700 worth O
stuff already here, which will be forfeited
if the company does not carry out its con
tract Ii / were not on the committee
would move the report be accepted AM
the bill read third time.
Noble Widemann-The committe
recommend the unconditional passage Q
the bill. There is long rigmarole c
good intentions in the report.
The bill was laid on table to be con
sidered with the minority report.
Noble Burchardt gave notice of bill
amending the law relating to licensin
dairies.
