mittee and he moved it pass with
proviso that the expenditure be at
the discretion of the Minister of the
Interior.
Noble Marsden moved it pass
with proviso that the money be
paid if clear title can be had To
the land.
Rep. Paehaole interrupted Rep.
Nawahi with the remark that the
hon. member was not required to
make puns on the name of the hon.
member for kau.
Rep. Nawahi was interpreted as
saying that Rep. Apiki had signed
the committees report and now
trumped up story to defeat the
appropriation. Such conduct was
called "apiki" in Hawaiian, and the
hon. member was "Apiki' by name
and "aplki" by nature.
Rep. Waipuilani had always been
opposed to this item. Peter Lee
had tried to deceive the House. The
committee found out that he was
paid monthly wages for his work,
and finding himself headed off he
went to the Inter-Island Steam Ma.
vigation Co. and got them to trans.
fer the ownership of the road to
him. The road only cost $4,000 and
the land was only held on u lease
hold tenure for fifteen years. IL
could not be bought because it was
Crown land. A prominent resident
of kau had written to him that the
road had deterioratcd, and would
cost large amount to put in repair.
Noble Kauhane said that the road
passed through paddocks, and Lee
was required to keep gates. 1t was
a good road, but, if the Government
bought it, they would either have
to keep men to watch the gates or
fence the road. With these things
satisfactorily arranged he would ad-
wise the purchase of the road even
at $4,000.
Noble Hind was opposed to buy
ing any roads. If private parties
built roads on their own RESPONSE
bility let them do so. They had APP
proprated more, anyway, that the
country sincome. There were places
on Hawaii without any roads, and
all the Minister wanted was money
to build the needed roads. 1t was
better for Peter Lee or whoever own
ed the road to keep it.
Noble Widemann said there were
two obstacles to passing the item.
The first was the fifteen years ten
ure, the second the necessity of
gates or fences. The item should
be rejected. On the question being
stated, he moved, as an amendment
to the amendment, that the item be
inserted for q road between Punaluu
and the Volcano.
Rep. Nawahi moved that the ayes
and noes be called on the motion to
