than TO tourists. Why should The
people of Kohala be up to their
knees in mud while tourists are driv-
ing round the country in luxury?
The people paying the taxes should
have the benefit of the expenditure.
Let us stop these subsidies TO pri-
vatc companies. The Government
should wake up and not be swayed
by any party. hope to see Gov
ernment here that will know the
needs of the country aud not be
afraid to supply those needs, and
that will have no hobby such as
building a road to the Volcano with
out having roads anywhere else. l
hope there will he no more frittering
away of money where it will not be-
meiit the people.
Minister Brown said Hawaii would
receive as much attention as any
other part Of the kingdom. The
sum of SG3, 700 was spent last pc
riod on that island. Already this
session they had appropriated S2G7,-
600 for Hawaii. He thought that if
they could get the money the wants
of Hawaii would he amply supplied.
There was large proportion of the
money for the kona districts. Road
matters on Hawaii might he in II
better state il the road boards did
not conline their operations so
closely to the vicinity of planta-
| tionS.
Rep. Richard could say there was
nothing of the kind in Hamakua.
Minister Brown said it had been
so stated several times on the floor
of the House and not contradicted.
Noble Macfarlane stated that the
finance committee had found the
same thing about the road boards.
Rep Richard offered, if the House
put in these items, he would vote to
strike out the $40 for Hamakua
in See. 3. In that case they would
he $1,000 in pocket. He moved the
previous question, which carried.
The first item, llonokaa $1,000,
passed.
Rep. Pachaole, On the itcm-Waipio-
Waimanu Sl50O-being put, said it
was n bad precedent to allow men,
Der to take sure thing in this sec
ton for q conditional promise in the
third section. The hon. member
was too smart in this bargain.
Rep. Brown agreed with the pre-
vious speaker. AS to the general
question the matter was the fault of
the residents. They were too care
less or too busy making sugar to at
tend to the carrying out of the law.
He quoted the Road Board Act
where it provided for calling public
meetings of the residents of dis
trict to consult on the road require
ments. The residents had not gone
to the road boards and asked them
to do what the law demanded. This
Legislature appropriated five times,
in some cases SIN times as much as
last Legislature for roads. He
would support only the items as in
the bill.
Rep. Richard held that the hon.
member knew nothing about country
road matters.
, Noble Muller stated that there
was Sl725.25 unexpended from last
: period for the Hamakua roads. If
there was necessity for these items
that money would have been ex-
pended. For the next period the
| district would have $4,000 road
: tax, $4,000 in Sec. 3, and its pro-
| portion of the S34 800 for the island.
, If all that was not enough he would
l like to know. He moved the pre-,
vious question, which carried.
: The item was lost.
Rep. Wilcox, on the Kukuhaele.
l Waipio item of $4,000 being put
: moved it be struck out.
, The President-lt is not struck ir
yet. (Laughter.)
The item was lost.
