FRIDAY, Aug. IL.
AFTERNOON SESSION.

ferences had arisen between them, bat
without personal feeling. He did not
think his language was unparlament'
AIRY, but if any three members of
the House considered it so be would
cheerfully apologize to The hon. No
bic. Regarding the question before
the committee he would remind
them of the large amount spent on
the Palace by means of transfers
years ago, and it was to prevent
such things that he had made his
motion.
Minister Brown cordially endors-
cd the sentiment of the hon. Noble,
hut thought the time for making his
motion would be when See. 6 was
reached. In the meantime let them
proceed with these items.
Noble Widemann was glad that
the Minister had come TO stand will!
him on the question. He regarded
the question as of vital importance.
Noble Mccarthy said his remarks
this morning related mainly to Sec.
6, and he thought the committee
should 90 on with the items till that
was reached.
Noble Isenberg moved rs an am
endnent to strike out the amount,
81 ,541,247 Carried.
Addition to Custom House, $1,000.
Passed.
Addition TO Honolulu Post Office,
| $1,000.
Noble Crahbc moved to insert,
Custom House and Kerosene Oil
Storehouse, IIilo, $4,000. He eN-
planned, in answer TO Noble Bald
win, that his son, the Collector at
Hilo, had told him when in town
lately, that great deal of oil was
stored around Hile. and that it was a
source of danger, and he asked him
to move for an appropriation.
Rep. Knudson asked the Ministry
for information as to the necessity
of the item.
Minister Brown said that the du-
ties collected in 1883 were $l22O,
increasing in 1889 to Sl70G. The
duties collected did not pay the Col
lector's salary, which was $500 a
year. The amount asked was large
for q port yielding so little revenue,
and he thought the item was unne-
cessary.
Rep. Nawahi asked if the Minis
try would adopt that rule in all cases.
Minister Brown said rules were
: not always applicable to isolated
cases.
, Rep. Nawahi said if that was 60
ing to be the rule it was a good one
but many of the district justices col
lected less of fines and costs thar
would pay their salaries.
A motion for the committee tC
, rise temporarily was carried.
