ORDER OF THE DAY.
The House proceeded to the order
of the day-third reading of the
Appropriation Bin
Roads and bridges, Honolulu,
S53, 900.
Rep. White moved $40, 200.
Rep. X. w. Wilcox supported the
item as in the bill
Rep. Richard, after remarking
on the previous speakers opposition
to the Waipio road the other day,
moved the item pass as in the bill.
Noble Marsden moved $4,000.
Noble j. M. Horner did not want
to be mean, but wanted to look at
things. The hon. Noble (Marsden)
had informed them that the Homo
lulu road taxes were $40, 900 year.
In addition to this they had the
labor of the prisoners down here.
For these prisoners they had APP
, propriated $4,000 for the period.
A prisoner ought to be worth as
much as an animal, which would
make another $4,000, besides the
$75, 900 or so from the taxes and
t appropriation. Hamakua had 81
miles OF road, which was ten more
than they had in Honolulu.
Minister Brown said there we're
: 20 miles of roads in Honolulu.
Noble Horner went on to say that
. Hawaii, with more land than all the
other islands put together, and pro-
! duced more of the wealth, was asked
the other day to cut down its appro-
priaton to $780, 900.
a Noble Macfarlane wished to cor
!. rect that statement made repeatedly
- by the hon. Noble. He asked if the
members for Hawaii could consist
emily give up portion of the
amount in the bill. He did moi
S know anything about the needs Of
= that island.
Minister Brown would like to SET
l. the Noble from Hawaii come nearer
G the facts. The real estate of Homo
lulu was rated in the tax returns a
10 eight millions, while that of Hawai-
l. was placed at 1920, 900.
d Noble Horner said he was not re
i. ferring to the value of property blu
re to the production of wealth. Thi
was good place to begin an econo
# mical policy, as Honolulu was re
r. ceiving $4,000 without countin.
:. the harbor item.
l. Noble Macfarlane most emphati
he cally objected to the manner il
which Noble Horner was slingin!
# figures round without regard to tn
ID facts. He had been indulging in g
n many wild statements that tn
tie speaker could not tell what he wa
IS driving at. He was making vii,
es statements about Honolulu, that
was getting $500. 900, and more TO
g the harbor, when the harbor wa
not before the House. So far a
tv Honolulu was concerned he (Nobl
il NJ was perfectly willing to carr.
Ia out this policy of retrenchment. III
ne did not see why those superaous es
Inmates should be put in for contin
=, gencies. He thought that this Gov
D eminent could make closer estimate
~ than the preceding one, and that
~ would get more work for the money
no because it would not have bogu
~ pay rolls. He did not attempt t
adj cut down appropriations for tn
is other islands.
