Scratch my back and III scratch yours"
Rep. waipuilani said that Noble Null
ler's bill was brought in not TO benefit
the country but merely to stop nui-
sance.
Noble Baldwin thought the bill should
be referred TO committee with the OBJ
jects already specified. The idea was
good one. There need be no fear that
Hamakua would not be made police
district.
Noble Marsden thought it would do no
harm TO pass the bill now. Ii was en-
crossed and the House was wasting
great deal of time He moved the bill
pass now.
Noble Mccarthy am opposed to re-
ferring the bill to committee. III the
matter goes to a committee, a great
many members will want to have police
magistrates who don't think OF it now.
Each bill can be considered on its merits.
The bill was referred to select CON-
mittee.
The bills providing police justices for
Molokai, kau and Hama were referred TO
the same committee.
Consideration of the Appropriation
Bill in Committee of the Whole; Noble
Mccarthy in the chair.
Addition to Insane Asylum, $15 900.
Rep. Kapaehaele moved the item be
referred to select committee.
Minister Spencer gave the items,
amounting to $40 800. 1t had been cut
down to 900, which the Minister
thought would be sufficient.
The item passed.
New wharf, Hilo, $4,000.
Noble Marsden moved it be deferred
until the Hilo Railroad Bill had been
considered. He had heard it said that
} the railroad might build the wharf.
Rep. Nawahi was in favor of passing
the item now. The railroad bill might
not pass, and if it did it might be years
before the wharf was built. 1t might not
be within the lifetime of any one person.
Noble Marsden-I 1t wont deprive Hilo
of wharf to defer this item 10 days.
The Government might build the wharf
according to specifications furnished by
the railroad, and then be Reimbursed by
the railroad.
Rep. Nawahi made number of obser-
vations. He objected to the Ministry
sitting still and saying nothing while
this discussion was going on. What was
the use OF building fine roads and subsi-
dizing steam lines. if people couldn't get
ashore? In Mr.. Whitney's New GUIDE
Book he says Hilo is to be the second
city of the Kingdom. What will people
say to that when they see the present
miserable little wharf?
Noble j. NJ. Horner agreed with the
member from Hilo. The item is for the
benefit of Hilo, not Of the railroad COM
pany. move it pass.
Noble Isenberg thought all the money
which we are now appropriating had to

Can suitable wharf be built for $780,

/ should like to hear the Minister of the
Interior. If $4,000 will build such 9

for the Minister of the Interior has it in
his power to defer the building of the
wharf.
Minister Spencer-A suitable whar
can be built for $4,000, and l have
thought it ought to be built for man.

Rep. Bush favored passage of tn
