about return time, anu wonderful re-
covery afterwards. | support the motion
as in the bill.
Noble Cornweli-Of course am very
willing to have these bridges paid for out
OF the $50 900, If the Minister will guar
antee that it shall be done. These bridges
are very necessary. The traffic is heavy,
as large as anywhere, outside of Homo
lulu. | think an appropriation for the
bridges ought 10 be inserted in this item.
Noble McCarthy-I think the members
from Maui ought TO be satisfied with this
item of $4,000. Last year they got only
5000. Very likely the bridges are
necessary, but they are getting four
times as much as last year and they
ought TO be satisfied and not try TO hog
it all.
Rep. Robt. Wilcox | don't doubt |
that the bridges are necessary, but |
think when We reach the 3rd section OF /
the bill we can properly pass it.
Noble Macfarlane-l think the rea- |
cient. | have been over the foad when |
it was impossible 1t is damaged by |
freshets to the amount of hundreds of |
dollars every year. think, however, it
will properly be appropriated in connec-
ton with the Lahaina road.
Rep. White-I move TO increase TO
$4,000, so that there will be $4,000 for
Lahaina. Otherwise the money will all
be spent around the plantations.
Noble Horner-The Appropriation Bill
clearly attends to the wants OF all the
districts. 1t already has s. 900 for La
haina; that is enough to build all the
bridges asked for. l move it pass as in
the bill.
Rep. kanealii-I do not agree with the
honorable Noble from Hamakua when
he thinks those bridges will cost only
| $1,000 apiece. | know that the one |
asked for will cost at least $1,000. 1t has
been estimated on by competent persons.
| The honorable member has his railroad
bill and wants $4,000, or something OF
the sort, mile for.
| Rep. Lucas-We are wasting a great
deal of time discussing this paltry amount
of five or six thousand. The people from
Maui know what they want. We in
Oahu don't know what they want. We
ought to give them what they ask for.
We are here to represent the people. L
would move the previous question if it
were in order.
Rep. Whites remarks We're not trans
lated
Rep. Kamai-I introduced a resolutio n
asking FOR $500 for bridge in Hama 1t
} is very necessary, and l move that
amount be added to the appropriation,
unless it is already provided for.
Rep. Halstead-I am willing to sup
$1,000 of that is reserved for bridge
: over certain gulch in Hama. When
, there are freshets, it is very dangerous
There is always a freshet there, and q
, place where no swimmer can escape.
Noble Cornwell-I want to say that the
, honorable members for Hama and Maka
r wac seem to think that it is necessary tC
t ask Tor bridges all over tho island.
4 am willing to vote for it as it is in the
appropriation bill.
: Minister Brown-The requests ALREADY
mount up to $39, 900. The road tax i.
8 estimated at $1,000 more, and section
contains $1,000. The Treasury cam
stand this.
