Noble Baldwin had watched the thing
for a great many years, and did not con
sider there was any proper place for 4
breakwater there. ANY breakwater con
tinued on the present line would simply
be waste % money.
Noble ". Y Horner explained that
the breakwater was necessary TO keep
the channel open. They must have it.
Noble J. VI. HOrner spoke to the same
effect.
Noble Widemann-Since have
spoken the hon. gentleman has explained
the theory OF the breakwater TO me.
should De very careful, however, how
and where ! put any breakwater. 1t is
q matter that ought TO be very carefully
handled.
Noble Baldwin was sure that break
water built on the old one would do no
good.
The item passed.
Rep. 4. Horner moved TO insert 81 200
70 deepen channel At Laupahoehoe. The
trade winds make large waves break in
the channel, which carry the boats on
TO the rocks at the side, and upset them.
This is TO take up some of the rocks and
widen the channel.

Noble J VI. Horner moved that all
the items ior roads be referred to a spe-
ciaI committee OF nine, two from each
Island and one from Molokai. The |
asked for were large and there |
would be q great deal Of wrangling.
Bridges should also 90 in. There is no |
doubt ID my mind that many of the |
items asked for here are too large. | |
believe an impartial committee can ad- |
just the matter.
Minister Brown - The hon. Noble |
seems TO forget that these appropriations |
are all contingent. We don't know |
any OF this can be spent. 1t |
viii depend on whether the receipts |
from the Postal Savings Bank will be
sufficient l do not think they will. |
myself. do not think there is any use
IN referring 1t to a committee.
Noble Isenberg-We have appropria-
lions for roads and bridges in section l
Tor all the islands. | therefore move to
strike out all these items. | don't think
We can afford 10 borrow so much money
Just for the sake OF having better roads.
Rep. Lucas-I think it is very bad
policy 10 strike out anything of a contin-
gent fund. This money is only put here
70 be used IN case OF necessity. | think
the least We can do is to pass these items
Is they are in the bill
Minister Brown-All the expenses

Noble Cornwell-While l support the
notion 10 strike out all these items,
must state that there is one of them
avor, namely, that for the road from
Nailuku to Maalaea.
Noble Widemann wanted to know of
what use this road would be?
Noble Cornwell said that Noble Wide

court at Lahaina. The people at Wal
uku would use the road to come on to
court.
Noble Widemann denied the soft i'm
Deachment. He had only voted that
way to be able to move a reconsidera-

Noble j. VI. HOrner hoped no one
would vote for Noble Isenberg's motion
without careful consideration They
lad Just voted large sums for Honolulu
md now this was for the whole islands.
honolulu even Oahu, lis not all of Hawaii.
When We make these appropriations for
honolulu, We expect the same liberal
