Lahaina go ,000)
Rep. Kahookano-I think nothing
should have been said as to the incum-
bent; 1 am simply thinking of the inn
portance OF the office.
Rep. Kalua- Salary appropriated by
last session was 81 900, so that.this item
already contains an increase. l should
like to hear from memb ers who reside in
the district - Messrs. Burchardt, Hind
and others.
Noble Burchardt-I think there is as
much work in kohala as in Waikiki or
Hilo, and l would like to see an efficient
man paid the same.
Rep. Robt. Wilcox There are six
plantations in Kohala district only four
near Waikiki. We can't get good men
who will be independent unless we pay
good salaries. We ought not to consider
the present incumbent, because in the
!, course of time anyone who is incompe
tent will be removed. / am, therefore
in favor of making the salary the Same
. as in Hilo or Waikiki.
Rep Kanealii-I am in favor of passing
[ as in the bill.
| Rep. Kahookano-If the members
will look in the Attorney-GeneraPs re
/ port they will see that in Kohala more
work is done than in Wailuku. The
; Judge in Kohala has disposed OF 80:
: more cases than the other.
J Motion to pass at $1,000 was lost on
r rising vote.
t Item was passed as in the bill.
4 Police Justice of Lihue $1,000. Passed
/. District Judge of North Hilo 81 900.
a Rep. Kalua-I move to reduce to $50
Q because North Hilo is only part of tn
e Hilo district, and we have already passe'
0 $4,000 for the Judge now. He is engage
e in other pursuits and has very little t
: do in his office.
:, Rep. Baker-The district judge reside
t way out near Laupahoehoe, and it is
II great convenience for the people there t
o have a Judge SO near think it ha
J. been carefully considered and that tn
It House had better not tamper with it.

s. 1 take it back Mr.. Chairman. Passed I
il in the bill.
~ DlSbTlCt y uuSe vi OOutu hoiiaid ~
~ Rep. Kalua-This is altogether t.
l much. There is nothing in the distri
TX but few bullocks, and few people {
Id the coast. | move it pass at $500 while
1t. is ample. don't care who holds Il
lrt Office.
,e. Rep. Rickard-The responsibility
a two-masted schooner and a four-mast
d. steamer is the same.
Pan Eol,,a-[I pan answer that one
nd ton better after the boat race than nov
Rep. Rickard-We pay for the off
On not the man. Many a teamster on {
to sugar plantations earns more than
he honorable gentleman proposes tor
Judge. Expense is saved by having
W. good man. The present incumbent b
OF filled the place satisfactorily for ma
en- years. / move an increase to 81 800.
nd Noble Widemann-I am ignorant
the merits. The member says the n
ing possibility of a small schooner anC
sal large steamer captain is the same. I
ion position however of captain with
hts steamer with a million in his charge
the very different from that of the captain
her a schooner with 81, 900 or S. 900.
on Noble Parker-I am glad to hear
friend Noble Widemann express
are opinion. The district has about
me- voters and it is fifteen miles from
coast, and it costs him a good deal m
ion to live i'm Waimea than on the coast.
veil think the honorable member for v
rt a luku knows that think he had a v
poor reception when he last went thu
ruiz I support the motion for 81 900.
Noble Widemann-I did not exp
r as an opinion. l said had none.
ap- The item was passed as in the bill.
District Judge of Hamakua 50 900.
