coin. Read second time by title
mud referred TO the committee on
finance.
PRivlLLGE.
Noble Maclarlanc rose TO ques-
ton of privilege, saying he was
sorry that personal difficulty be-
tween the late member Tor South
Wailuku and himself had gone so
far. a proposition had been made
TO him for an amicable settlement,
but the conditions were such as he
could not in honor accept. While
he could not state details of the
difference, he would apologize to
the House for having brought about
so much trouble.
ORDER OF THE DAY.
The House went into committee
of the whole, Rep. Rlckard in the
chair, for consideration of the APP
preparation Bill.
Rep. Brown moved that all items
reported on by committees be taken
up. Carried.
Road to open lands back of Homo
lulu, $1,000. Considered with re-
port of committee recommending
the item, with conditions that APP
plications for lots shall exceed the
amount appropriated, etc.
Rep. Brown moved that the item
pass and the report be referred to
the Minister of the Interior, so that
he may have before hun the inten-
ton of the Legislature.
Noble Baldwin was informed that
deed with conditions attached
would not hold. If this was the
case he was surprised that two emil
nent lawyers had signed those re-
concentrations. The conveyance
might be in the form of two hun
dred years lease.
Rep. Brown was willing to stake
his reputation as lawyer on the
opinion that deed with conditions
would be legal. The property would
be held subject TO those conditions.
Noble Marsden asked if there
were any applications for the lands.
Minister Spencer said there were
not.
Rep. Brown said there was q petit
ton before the House, signed by
fifty to seventy-fve persons, who
declared in it their intention to APP
ply for lots if the road be built.
The petition was read.
Rep. Paehaole said it was an open
question between what these people
considered fair prices and what the
Minister of the Interior called fail
prices. The conditions inserted
might fully protect the treasury
bat the item would swell the bill
He thought the matter should be de
ferred till next session.
Rep. Brown said there was {
great deal of Government land VI
there, and he as an attorney wa
authorized to buy lots at price
ranging as high as $500 an acre
He believed that if the road wa
made the Government would ge
back more than the appropriation
very quickly from the sale of lands
The temperature there was fifteen o
twenty degrees cooler than in town
and the locality was very desirabl
for summer residences.
Rep. Cummings supported tn
item.
Noble Widemann fully comedies
with the arguments for the appro
priation. He would give $3.50 o
even $500 himself to-day for an acr
of that upland if the Minister woul'
only take it. But he feared tina
the measure was not the proper on
for the end proposed. There shoul'
be special act to authorize tn
Minister of the Interior TO make tn
expenditure under the desired con
ditions.
Noble Marsden moved that tn
item be deferred till the hon. No
BILE from Honolulu bring in BIZ
such as he had suggested.
Rep. Bush moved for recess
which was taken from ~ TO / 80.
