ORDER or THE DAY.
Third reading of the Cautoniers
Bill.
Noble j. NJ. Homer moved the
bill he indefinitely postponed. a
sensible, practical law already ex
listed, Under this law the Minister
appointed the road boards and dis-
missed them if they did. not do their
duty. The bill required the con
slant employment Of contoniers all
the time, whether there is any money
in the hands of the road boards.
He saw three cantoniers that morn
ing on the road. He knew them by
their tools and the work they were
doing--though they didn't wear any
yellow rag. The bill was an impos-
sib,lity. The cantonier couldn't do
any of these things which are pre-.
scrbed in the country. Our present
law il plain and easily understood,
They had about sixty miles of road
in Humakua and only $1,000 road
money. Then all these petty rcgu-
lations, that he shall, when he eats
his dinner, keep in sight of his road.
Noble Widenann thought the bill
plain enough and a sound and good
thing for this country. Hamakua
could pay twenty cantoners Gone
for every three miles) to keep the
roads in order. The bill may not
he perfect, or suitable for the coun-
try districts at present, but it will
he n very good thing for Honolulu,
Hilo and Wailuku.
Noble Horner agreed that road
when good should be kept good, and
The Hamakna Road Board adopted
that principle rs soon rs they were
appointed.
Mobiles Marsden and Horner en-
tered into q discussion of the history
of certain mud hole in the Hama
kua road (the House calling ques-
tion).
Rep. Brown moved the bill pass

attempt to strike this item out. [
was short sighted, and might CONF
back on the heads of its authors. /
was better that the boys should cos
$1,000 apiece than that they SHOULD
be pat into prison with common
felons.
Rep. Richard was lately opposed
to this item, but, after hearing tn
arguments IN behalf of maintalnin,
the institution, he was now of
different opinion. If the schoo
was not efficient that was an easy
matter TO remedy.
Noble Widemann did not believe
in supporting an inefficient school
but, as there was q law requiring
the maintenance of such an institu
ton, he would vote for the item.
Rep. R. w. Wilcox moved t.
amend the item to $4,000. Their
was good reason why petty larcenie
we're not so frequently charged t.
the school now, which vas tina
there were not enough boys in it t.
commit depredations.
Rep. Nawahi was in favor of tn
amendment. The school was cost
ing too much. 1t cost $1,000 TO
each boy, and bad boys at that
Pupils of other schools only cos
$50 head.
Noble Kauhane held that it wa
unfair 10 compare this with com
mon school, whose pupils lived a
home with their parents. If Their
were only few boys in it now
that was matter of qualification
Perhaps many more boys would b
sent there, in which case the amour
asked would be needed. TIL
school had done a great deal o
good, it had turned out many boy
who became useful citizens. ii
knew one estimable minister of tn
gospel who had been in the insti
tuition.
Noble Widemann said this wa
not school In the ordinary sense
1t was place where bad boys wer
separated from good ones, to b
taught good morals as we'll as boo
learning. Police and district jus
tees had power TO send boys to tn
institution, and possibly thirty G
forty might be added within tn
period. Therefore he hoped hi
+. lend, the hon. member for tn
fifth district, would withdraw hi
amendment.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox Withdrew hi
motion.
Noble Isenherg concurred in til
views of Noble Widemann.
Rep. Waipuilani renewed til
amendment Withdrawn by Rel
