day. Carried.
Special order of the day. Considera-
ton OF the Appropriation Bill in Conn
mittee of the Whole. Rep. Nawahi in
| the chair.
Interpreter Supreme and Police Courts
$4,S00.
Rep. kalua moves to amend interpre-
ter OF Supreme, Police and Circuit Courts
at regular terms thereof $4,000. Every
one who knows present situation knows
how difficult it is to get good interpreters
in the circuits. The Court ought to take
the interpreter with them.
Noble Burchardt-I don't quite under
stand what is included in this. Does the
honorable member mean TO make one
item cover those two?
Passed as amended.
Salary Circuit Judge, Maui, $4,000 !;
travelling expenses, $500. Both passed.
Circuit Judge, Hilo and Kau, $4,000 I;
travelling expenses, 500. Both passed.
Circuit Judge, Kohala and Kona,
$4,000; travelling expenses, 500.
Rep Kahookano moves $500 for trav-
cling expenses. Judge resides in Hilo
and so travelling expenses are heavy.
Noble Pua- am opposed to amend
ment. 500 is sufficient. | would be
willing to do it for 800.
Minister Brown move it pass as in
bill. The Circuit Judge need not live in
Hilo unless he pleases. The salary has
already been raised 500, anyway.
Rep. Kahookano- This Judge has the
worst and largest part of the island to
travel over.
Rep. Waipuilani-I am in favor of the
item as in the bill. The Judge only
visits Kona once year. 500 is ample.
Amendment lost. Item passed as in
the bill.
Circuit Judge, Kauai, $4,000; travel
ing expenses, 500. Both passed.
Police Justice, Honolulu, $1,000.
Passed.
Police Justice, Hilo, $1,000. Passed.
Police Justice Lahaina, s., 900. Passed.
Police Justice, Waikiki, S, 900. Passed.
Police Justice, North kohala, 81 400.
Rep. Kahookano- This is large dis
trict and more business than in some
Courts where the Judge is paid larger
salary. l move it pass at $1,000.
Noble Homer move it pass same as
Lahaina 80, 0OO)
Rep. Kahookano-I think nothing
should have been said as to the incum-
bent; am simply thinking of the i'm
portance Of the office.
Rep. Kalua- Salary appropriated by
last session was 1000, so that this item
already contains an increase. | should
like to near from members who reside in
the district = Messrs. Burchardt, Hind
and others.
Noble Burchardt-I think there is as
much work in Kohala as in Wailuku or
Hilo, and would like to see an efficient
man paid the same.
Rep. Robt. Wilcox - There are six
plantations in Kohala district only four
near Wailuku. 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. l am, therefore,
in favor OF making the salary the same
as in Hile or Waikiki.
Rep. Kanealii-I am in favor OF passing
as in the bill.
Rep Kahookano-If the members
will look in the Attorney-General's re-
port they will see that in Kohala more
work is done than in Wailuku The
judge in Kohals has disposed of 302
more cases than the other.
Motion to pass at s., 900 was lost on
rising vote.
Item was passed as in the bill
Police Justice of Lihue 81 900. Passed.
District Judge of North Hilo 81 900.
Rep. Kalua-I move to reduce to $500
because North Hilo is only a part OF the
HiIo district, and we have already passed
50 600 for the judge now. He is engaged
in other pursuits and has very little to
do in his office.
Rep. Baker-The district Judge resides
way out near Laupahoehoe, and it is
great convenience for the people there TO
have a Judge so near think it has
been carefully considered and that the
House had better not tamper with it.
Motion to pass as in the bill was car
RED.
District Judge of Puma $500. Passed.
District Judge OF West Kau 81 200.
Passed.
District Judge of East Kau $500.
Passed.
District Judge OF North Kona $780,
Passed.
District Judge of South Kona $500.
Noble Baldwin, see these items are
changed. would like to ask why. 1t
may he an injustice to some Judge there.
| take it back Mr.. Chairman. Passed as
in the bill.
District Judge OF South Kohala 81 200.
Rep. Kalua-This is altogether too
much. There is nothing in the district
but few bullocks, and few people on
the coast. move it pass at $500 which
is ample. l don't care who holds the
office.
Rep. Rickard-The responsibility of
a two-masted schooner and four-masted
steamer is the same.
Rep Kauai can answer that ques-
ton better after the boat race than now.
Rep. Rickard-We pay for the Office
not the man. Many teamster on the
sugar plantations earns more than the
honorable gentleman proposes for the
Judge. Expense is saved by having
good man. The present incumbent has
filed the place satisfactorily for many
years. l move an increase to 81 900.
Noble Widemann-I am ignorant OF
the merits. The member says the res
possibility Of a small schooner and a
large steamer CAPTAIN is the same. The
