Macadamlzing and paving Streets,
Honolulu, $4,000.
Rep. Cummings moved 100000.
Noble 1senberg moved the item
he struck out. They had already
appropriated $50 900 for Honolulu
streets, also $50, 900 for support of
prisoners, which meant $4,000 of
work on the streets. There was also
an enormous road tax in this Dis
trict. Kauai always showed sur
plus on account of prisoners, while
Oahu showed deficiency. This
was because work on the roads by
prisoners here was not credited.
Rep. Lucas supported the item,
referring to the important new roads
contemplated-to Round Top, etc.
The prisoners Of the other islands
were sent here, and Honolulu had
TO support them.
Rep. Brown favored the item but
thought the work would be done
more economically by contract than
by the Government itself.
Rep. Rosa thought something
should be done to get better pave
meuts. lie did not believe in the
contract system. The contractor for
the Punchbowl road had lost money,
and that would likely be the case
with other contracts, while the roads
would be no better.
Passed as in the bill.
Rep. Brown was after q little
money, and seeing the House in a
liberal frame of mind would move
to insert, Roads in Manoa Valley,
$4,000. The people there paid their
due proportion of taxes, yet the
roads were in disgraceful condi-
ton. Carried.
Rep. II. w. Wilcox moved to in
scrt, Road up kalihi Valley, on east
and west sides, $40, 900.
Rep. Cummings moved the item
he divided equally between the two
sides.
Rep. Brown m we'd to amend Ia
$1,000 for both.
Kep. Rosa said that an appropria-
ton had been made last session, but
the Government instead of spending
il on the road intended had opened
new road through the Rameha
meha School lands. The late Min
lister of Interior thought that wher
the specific appropriation was OK
haustcd he could draw on the gen
eral fund for the specific purpose,
but the Supreme Court had given s
decision thai this could not be done
Kalihi raised more fruit than an,
other valley in the Kingdom, yet i
was the most accomplishing of dis
tricts.
Passed at $4,000.
Road over Nuuanu Pail, $35, 00O
Rep. Kalua moved $4,000
Every session there was an apprc
priation, and they ought TO vot
o enough at once to finish it.
Noble Isenberg would be yer
;. glad to support the motion if $40
900 would complete it, but he di

. Noble Crabbe told of a man i
the reign of Kamehameha V. VIII
made an offer to make the road. Fl
, thought $40, 900 would be enough
, make good carriage road.
II Noble j. M. Homer said thes
" items were put in after estimat,
were made, and he objected to raj

i hers "believed" it necessary.
L. Noble Crabbe said his reason W

N on the other side.
III Rep. Nawahi thought some mel
w. bers did not know what they wante
~ and moved to increase items becau
ID they "guessed" the estimates we
no too low. Perhaps the Minister cou
-. give them some light.
Minister Spencer believed t
Do work could be done for $35, 900, b
nd would prefer it passed at 5000
-. because he would like TO make ST
