a Question) 1t should be made OF
stone, concrete, or marble, some
thing that would last.
Noble j. NJ. Ilorner thought all
necessary appropriations should be
made first.
Lost.
Poi factory, Honolulu, @!2, 900.
Rep. Waipuiani moved it be
stricken out, because Ivy the law of
1883 certain boundaries are fixed
inside of which poi could not he
made, and stands were to be let in
a Government building for the pur-
pose, which would involve increased
cost of the necessary to the people.
Rep. Pachaolc said the law in
question was sanitary measure, as
poi factories were in very un-
wholesome condition. That law did
not prohibit the sale but only the
manufacture of poi within limits.
The measure would operate similar
ly to that which put the laundries
out of town.
Minister Brown supported the
correctness Of the hon. members
explanation. He did not think the
law would create n hardship, as
there was no restriction on shops
for the sale of poi. Looking at it
from another point of view, it was
likely TO be profitable venture. The
wash houses now returned 20 per-
cent on the investment, and had
long ago repaid their cost to the
Government.
Noble j. NJ. Horner said this was
one Of the matters investigated by
a select committee on Honolulu city
services. AS it was likely to be a
reproductive enterprise he could
see no objection to the appropra-
ton.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox thought the
item should be struck out. IL the
business was to be regulated let ii
be by license. These factories
could be regulated for cleanliness
by the Board of Health. If the
principle was adopted there would
be similar interference, perhaps.

was ''nigger in the fence"
Minister Brown said it was only
the manufacture for sale that was
restricted.
Rep. Kauhi thought the item
should be passed. There was ne
"nigger in the fence BY and by
the Government would have mar
sitting there doing nothing but t.
collect, and collect, and collect. i
would be profitable business fol-
the Government.
The item passed.

impossible, no lighthouse in tn
