| ORDER OF THE DAY.
The House resolved itself int
committee of the whole, Rep. Pae
haole in the chair, for consideration
of the Appropriation Bill.
Volcano road, $55, 900; Road iron
Kukulu through Puma, 100000
Considered with report of selec
committee, recommending $70,396.
~ for the Volcano road, and $500
for the survey of the Puma road.
| Noble j. M. Horner moved tina
the item pass as recommended.
Rep. Wilcox said the amount re
commended included the $500
illegally borrowed by the late Mir
lister of the Interior. The Hous
yesterday censured that transaction
and to vote for refunding the none
to-day would be going back on tn
record. The road was only for tn
convenience of tourists and visitors
and the question should be whethe
the indirect returns from it woul
cover interest on the money. II
moved that the items for work don
and for work estimated be consider
ed separately.
Rep. Richard had not been niue
in favor of starting the road. ii
could not say that the road had COS
more than it should. Since so muc
money had been expended, it wa
for the interest Of the country ths
the road be completed. The land
through which it runs were valueles
before the road opened them, an
much more was to be expected frol
the increase in the value of the lanc
than from the returns of tours
travel. On going over the road
May last he found that one of tt
landholders had cut down some
the best shade trees along the roa'
side. This should not be allowed
Considering the large expenditul
on this road, a certain space shout
be reserved on either side for I'll
public benefit. The ride from Hi
to the Volcano should be made /.
pleasant as possible, but the LAM
holders were rapidly destroying IL
beautiful forests. If this proce
was to go on, the ride would be :
disagreeable as that along the beat
from Kawaihae. He would fay,
voting $50, 900 as in the bill, incl
sive of the $4,000 indebtedness
but moved that the item be referrt
; to a select committee, with instru
) tions TO recommend measures f
? preventing the destruction of Il
natural beauties bordering the roa
Rep. Kanealii wanted to have II
component items considered sepa
, ately. While the late Governme
did wrong in borrowing this mon,
, without authority, the firms lendiI
it had acted in good faith al
{ should be paid. lie was in favor
appropriating the S42, 900, left aft
t deducting the borrowed $500
from the original item of $4,000
for extending the road. The
would only be eighteen months
nroyida for after the Annronriatii
