NLONpAY, AMg. Is


The House went into committee
of the whole, Noble Mccarthy in the
chair, for consideration of the APP
preparation Bill.
Sec. continued.
Addition to Insane Asylum, &lj,
coo.
Rep. Paehaole moved it lie re-
fcrreu to u select committee.
Minister Spencer read details,
amounting to SO, 800, but the diff
ference had been cut off, and he
thought the item sufficient.
Passed.
New wharf, Ililo, $4,000.
Noble Mursden moved the item
be postponed until the House has
considered the IIilo and Hamakua
Railway bill.
Rep. Nawahi moved the item pass.
The wharf was necessary, railway or
no railway.
Noble Marsden said it would not
deprive llilo of the wharf to wait n
week or ten days.
Rep. Nawahi thought the Cabinet
should not sit quietly without being
heard on this question. 1t was no
use making roads to the Volcano if
people could not get ashore, nor en-
couraging foreign steamers if there
was no wharf 10 receive them.
Noble j. NJ. Horner said the hon.
member for Ililo had spoken his mind.
Members should remember that this
item was for llilo, when they came
to the railroad company they could
deal with it. Let the item pass.
Noble Isenberg said the first
question was whether the work was
necessary. 1t must be borne in
mind that money had TO be borrowed
for all these items. rhc next qucs-
ton was whether n suitable wharf
could be built for 100000, and on
this he should like TO hear the Min
lister of the Interior. If good
wharf could be built for the amount
the item should he passed.
Minister Spencer thought n SUIT
able wharf could be built for S20,-
900, and that it ought to be built
had thought so for many years.
Noble lsenberg would vote for the
item now, but wanted to know il
wharfage would be charged. Mey
had to pay the interest, and the
ships could afford to pay for the in.
creased facilities.
Minister Spencer said being s
public wharf it would be subject tc
the same charges as ruled at Homo
lulu.
Noble Widemann asked where Tho
wharf was to be built.
Minister Spencer said at Waia
kea.
Noble Widemann asked if it wa
not rather for the benefit of tn
plantation than that of the public.
Minister Spencer said it was no
for the advantage of the plantation
which had TO use scows up the river
1t was for the public benefit.
Noble Baldwin asked if that wa
not likely to move the present bust
ness centre, it was on the other sid
of the bay from the centre.
Minister Spencer said sometime
. landing could not be made at tn
present site.
Noble Marsden asked if forme
wharf at Waiakea had not been de;
troyed by storm.
Minister Spencer had not heard c
the event.
Noble NIarsden said, we'll, it ws
so, it was swept away by northerl
storm.
The item passed.
Noble Marsden made q motion fc
$3.50 to put buoy at the entrano
of Pearl Harbor, but withdrew it o
the assurance of the Minister this
he would see the buoy placed thel
out of the general appropriation @
SIS, 900 for the Island of Oahu.
Recess from ~ TO 1;30.
