THE LEGISLATURE.
THIRTY-EIGHTH DAY.
WEDNESDAY, July 23.
AFTERNOON SESSION.

took Roads and bridges,
Maui, Sl900-pass, as these extra
appropriations could be inserted un-
der Sec. 8.
Minister Brown said portion of
the items asked for were already
provided for, besides which there
was an item of $4,000 for roads
and bridges in general. The pre-
sent Minister of the Interior had
travelled around great deal and
knew the wants of the country. The
speaker did not anticipate q great
drop in the revenue. There had
always been a great reduction in
values at return times, followed by
wonderful recovery aftcrward.
Noble Cornwell was quite willing
that these bridges be provided for
out of the $50, 600, if the Minister
guarantees them. The traffic was
rs heavy as anywhere and the works
were necessary.
Noble Mccarthy thought the
members for Maui ought TO be well
satisfied with 10000, as it was
four times as much as that island
got last period.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox thought the
bridges could be provided for in the
third section.
Noble NIacfarane corroborated
the reasons given by Noble Cornwell
| from personal observation.
Rep. White mentioned nine
bridges on Maui requiring rebuild
ing or repairing.
Noble j. NJ. Horner considered
the estimated appropriations in the
bill sufficient. If these bridges
were needed let them be built, but
his impression was that none of
them should cost more than $1,000.
He supported the original item.
Rep. Kanealli thought the Gov
eminent made great mistake in
not appointing the hon. Noble from
Tamakua (Horner) Superintendent
of Public Works, when he knew
more about the bridges in Waikapu
than those living there. The hon.
Noble estimated that these bridges
would not cost more than $1,000,
while the local road supervisor said
they would cost at least $4,000. By
and-by the hon. Noble would be
asking $4,000 mile for his rail
way in Hamakua, and would not
like if members would oppose that
appropriation.
| Rep. Wilcox thought good deal
of time was being wasted in talking
over this paltry sum of $4,000 fol
bridges that the Mobiles and repre-.
sentalives from Maui said were ne.
cessary. Maui was being badly
used. What did members from Ha
wall and Oahu know about the needs
of Maui?
Rep. White moved the item pas!
at $500
Rep. Kamai urged the necessity
of a certain bridge in Hama. Some
times the doctor was prevented from
crossing there.
Rep. Halstead wanted $4,000 for ;
bridge in Makawao gulch. Hi
supported the motion of the mem
Der for Lahaina to make the item
100000, on condition that thi
bridge be built.
Noble Cornwell wanted to say tina
the hon. members from Lahain
and Mallawao seemed TO think that
because the necessity was shown TO
bridges in Waikapu, they should ge
bridges all over the island. He wa
afraid this would be the case whe
the door was opened, and now woul
support the item as it was in tn
bill.
Minister Brown did not blam
members for wanting to get all the
could for their constituents, but
all the amounts asked for were vol
ed it would swell the item TO $50
900, which the Government coul
not spend.
Passed as in the bill.
Roads and bridges, Molakai an
Lanai, $2500.
Rep. Paehaole moved the itel
read, roads and bridges, Moloka
$1,000, leaving out the island of l.;
mai.
Minister Spencer moved the itcl
be $1,000. including Lanai. Carried
Roads and bridges, Oahu, out,
districts, $4,000.
4 Rep. Brown moved the item /
: $4,000, as he was going TO move 81
parate items for Manoa, etc.
Rep. Kauhi gave the hon. membt
for Honolulu credit for doing We,
smart thing, in trying to captul
$500 from tho portion of the OUT
districts for the Honolulu distric
Let the hon. member wait till I'll
Honolulu item comes up and the
move an insertion for the Manc
road. In answer to the speak
Minister Spencer gave details, sho,
ing $4,000 for his district of Ev
and Waianae.) He was Statistic
& with the allotment and would SUI
port the item as in the bill.
i. Rep. Bush, (who surrendered u
chair to Noble Mccarthy said
was not anxious to increase the a
preparation, but there was n petite
on the table to restore bridge was
ed away at Kaneohe. If the Mini
ter had an opportunity OF visiting Il
place he thought he would agree tn
$25OO ought TO be appropriated f
