Noble Burchardt reports for committee
on Accounts as to payments on accounts
OF printing of various reports. AS the
question has arisen whether this is quite
regular, committee wish instruction from
the House.
Noble Macfarlane-As one of the COM
mittee would state that think expenses
for printing these reports ought to be paid
for out of the incidentals OF the depart
ments and not from Legislation ex-
penses. The Board of Education control
all their own expenses and make no re-
port to Treasurer, and in that case it
seems particularly out of order.
Minister Brown-The Ministers used
| to hand their reports i'll i'll manuscript
which is all they are required to do, and
the House ordered them printed Now
| to save time they order them printed
beforehand. The incidentals Of the de-
partments are not calculated with refer
ence to this expense. 1t all comes out
| of the Government treasury.
Noble Baldwin, move committee
| on accounts be instructed to pay foi
! printing OF reports.
President Walker-Thls would more
| properly come under resolution.
Noble Baldwin This comes under
| the head of reports to the Legislature
and ought to be paid for as all other re-
| ports are.
Rep. Kalua-The authorization to com.
mittee ought to be by resolution. What
| | object to is that the Board of Health
have printed 900 copies and have only
sent us 100, and get expect US to pay fol
| the whole thousand.
President Walker-There is nothing
before the House. There is no motion
because Noble Baldwin is out OF order.
Rep. Kalua. for the Select Committee
on pay of two deputy clerks of Supreme
Court, would recommend that items bt
passed $4 900 deputy clerk, So 800 seconC
deputy clerk. Laid on table to be con-
sidered with appropriation bill.
Noble Macfarlane reports for Specia
| Committee, in favor of inserting 81 ,50(
in appropriation bill for the Kapiolan
Maternity Home. Laid on table to b.
considered with appropriation bill.
Rep. Brown-As a member of Opium
Committee would state that the chair
man has notified us OF meeting to-day
am ready to report and SO are som,
others of the committee. Chairman
wishes to have a meeting to examine on
more witness. We have taken grea
deal of time, but we have taken over
thousand pages of testimony SO that w
nave not been idle.
Rep. Rickard-Whereas as some mem
bers of the House have received no cop
of the Appropriation Bill and supply i
exhausted resolved that more be printed
Noble Marsden moved adoption of re
solution.
Noble Macfarlane says the expense
unnecessary as the Appropriation Bi
appears in Minister of Finances report.
; The motion was lost.
Noble Baldwin resolved that Commit
tee on Accounts be instructed to pay 70
printing departmental reports.
Rep. Brown moves adoption OF resolr
ton. | hear that some of the printin
; bills contain extra charges for editing an
proof reading. These items should b
included in the general charge and car
not he paid extra for.
Noble Widemann- Money will com
out of the treasury eventually-there
no doubt OF that. Still, the expense be
ing incurred by the Ministers ought to b
paid out of their department expenses
1t is not businesslike to have A B and I
incur bill and E F and G pay it.
move the resolution be laid on table III
til the Finance Committee can look int
the matter and see what the custom ha
been.
: Noble Baldwin, am sure the a,
counts have been paid by the House an
the Minister OF Finance so states. Ii W
are to change the plan, the result will b
that reports will come in in manuscript
, Ii the Minister OF the Interiors repol
had been brought in in manuscript, W
would not have had it to day. To expt
ulte business the present pan uaS pee
adopted As to the charge for proc
reading, l hear the committee hay
T sometimes employed separate pros
reader. l do not believe in that mysel
but of course the printers ought not
pay for it.
Noble Widemann-- don't wish
have these reports come in late. l mer,
ly wish the persons who make contrac
T for the printing to pay the bills out of
