trate to suits of $500 instead Of

Minister Brown moved the bill
pass.
Rep. Brown said bill of the
same character giving same juris-
diction to the Police Justices was
referred to the judiciary committee,
which had made no report. These
bills ought to be passed together,
both being good laws.
The bill passed.
The House went into committee
of the whole on the Appropriation
Bill, Noble Mccarthy in the chair.
Salary of Clerks of Department
ofsWater Works, $4,000.
| Rep. Brown had heard that there
was TO be still more work during
the coming period, and there was
already great deal, and he moved
an increase to $4,000.
Rep. Waipuilani moved the item
pass as in the bill.
Passed as in the bill.
Running expenses, $4,000.
| Minister Spencer gave the items
and moved addition of $500 to pay
for rent of land. This item was
probably overlooked by his prede-
cessor. 1t is piece of twenty-five
acres, rent $500 yearly. The Gov
ernment has the refusal of it for
$4,000.
Rep. Richard favored passage as
in the bill and authorizing the Gov
eminent to purchase the land.
Rep. Kapaehaole moved to amend
so as to read $4,000. He knew
that cheaper men could be got, and
money saved.
Rep. WaipuiIaui--,What is tho
name of the land?
Minister Spenccr--It is adjacent
to the Electric Light Station, and
there is Government reservoir on
it now.
Rep. Brown was in favor of pas
sage as in the bill. More money
was needed owing to extension.
Minister Brown moved II pass al
$4,000, and if the land was pur-
chased, the extra $500 would not be
spent. He would also state that
there were three more reservoir:
than in 1888.
Passed at Sl4.3 800.
Repairs, 100000. Passed.
Board of Health. Salary Of Pre-
sident, $4,000.
Minister Spencer moved $1,000
The incumbent is not only Presi
dent of the Board, but manager o
the Dispensary. No one man SHOULD
hold both offices, and he considered
$1,000 sufficient for the President
Rep. Kalua would support tn
amendment on condition that II,
doctor hold the office. When a doc
, tor is at the head, the Board is rul
for the benefit of himself and tn
: circle of his friends. The specia
line of physicians education doe
: not fit him to be an accountant
. There is tail to the Board but II
0 head.
Rep. Richard regarded the argu
;, ments of the hon. member for Wal
luku as very weak indeed. The
/. would be strong if taken exactly i
: contrary sense. 1t required
doctor to understand the require
ments of the Board. Whether b
was book-kceper or not, DR.. Kin
ball was man of standing and ir
tegrity. He would support the me
y ton for $1,000 provided that III
: President continue in charge of til
Dispensary.
!. Noble Walker did not agree wit
either of the hon. members. To q
physician fit for the position, VIII
should not be allowed private prat
tice, they must vote a good salary
When the Board had lay PresideI
it was very lame concern. If
was not considered criminal in th
House to raise salaries, he woul
vote for making the salary 1000
If they could not secure GOO
medical man it would be bad dro
for the Board, and he moved IL
item pass as in the bill
Noble Won Tempslsy agreed vii
the hon. Noble and had much plea
ure in seconding his motion.
Minister Spencer, in answer
u Noble Marsden, said the Presidel
!" was filling the position of Cover
ment physician for Honolulu, bI
only drawing one salary. 1t WI
a. his belief that one man cannot pr
perly fill the two offices.
Noble Marsden said that then
, would support the Minister'S IN
y ton.
Rep. White supported the lite
and commended the administratit
of the office by the present incur
!. bent.
Rep. Brown opposed at last Sc
sion the having medical man
in President, but had changed h
u mind on observation of results.
A. supported the ministerial motion.
