Sixty-ffth Day.


WEDNESDAY, Aug. %.
The House met at 10 AN. Prayer BY
Chaplain. Minutes of the preceding day
, read and approved.
Rep. Marques, for the Foreign Affair:
, Committee, reported in regard to the bill
introduced by Rep. Kalua, to encourage
, tobacco culture; that the bill is uncon
stitutional and in violation of our treaty
relations, and that it would be useless tc
have it printed. The report was adopt
ed.
Noble Muller, for the commerce COM
mittee, reported recommending that the
petition that no more laborers be intro
duced, be laid on the table as the intro
duction OF moderate number of labor
ers is desirable. The committee recon-
mend that the item for immigration be
considered with the Appropriation Bill.
The report was adopted.
Noble Muller reported for the COM
merce committee, recommending that
the petition for assistance to telephone
lines on Hawaii be laid on the table.
Minister Brown moved the report be
adopted.
Rep. Rickard moved it be considered
|
Rep. Brown presented the report OF
the special committee on $4,000 for Ka-
piolani Park. The committee find that
much has been done and the money we'll
expended, but that there is lack of wa
ter and that many OF the trees planted
may die on that account. They recon-
mend that well be dug and that the
pipe which the Government is replacing
/ nil -
probably be proftably purchased by the
Park Association. They find that car
riage road round the point of Diamond
Head is feasible and they recommend
that $4,000 be appropriated for the
Park with the proviso that $500 be ex-
pended for the road by the Park Com
missioners.
The report, which was signed by all
the committee, was laid on the table to
be considered with the Appropriation
Bill.
Rep. Lucas, for the special committee
on the central fire station and fire en-
CINE for the plains, reports as follows:
That the present central fire station is in
dilapidated condition; that valuable
government property is stored there. The
new station will be fireproof. The COM
mittee recommend that the item pass as
in the bill. The committee further re-
commend that the item of $4,000 be
passed for fire engine for the plains, as
that part of Honolulu is thickly covered
with residences which are insufficiently
protected, owing to their distance from
the central fire station. The item is in
tended to provide for the purchase of an
engine and the erection of a suitable
building therefor.
The report was laid on the table to be
considered with the Appropriation Bill. |
Rep. Kapaehaole, for the committee on |
Bill l40, entitled an Act to Continue the |
Subsidy to the Oceanic Steamship Com |
pany, reports that the committee have |
communicated with the agents and find |
that they are willing to accept such |
amounts as are inserted in the Appropri- |
alton Bill, and will bind themselves not |
to ask for more; that they are also will |
ling to make any possible mail arrange
ment which will be more convenient for |
the community. The committee recon-
mend the addition of proviso to Section
3, setting forth that no more subsidy shall !
be paid than is placed in the Appropri-
alton Bill.
Minister Brown moved adoption of the
report.
Rep. Knudsen moved consideration
with the BILL Carried.
Rep. Waipuilani moved to reconsider
the vote on the report on the Peter Lee
road. The House laid the report on the
table. l objected to the report yesterday
because thought the Inter-Island Com
pany controlled the road find, on ex-
amlnlng the documents, that whatever
rights the company had, they have re-
leased, so l wish to rectify my mistake.
Rep. Rosa had not been present when
it was considered yesterday. The fact
was that the Inter-Island Company had
advanced money to Peter Lee. The
committee all agreed that the Govern
ment ought to own the road, even though
the Volcano road from Hilo were COM
pleted, as no doubt it would be Noble
Wldemann-there is great doubt about
that.) Calls OF no, no doubt at all; the
doubt is in Noble Widemann's mind.
Before Peter Lees road was built travel
ler's could not go from there to the Vol
cano without a guide; now strangers can
do it alone. He ought not to be expected
to maintain this road for the use of the
public though he would do SO if he could
afford it.
Noble Widemann-When 1 heard the
report yesterday thought that there was
peculiar about this. A peti-
ton from the builder of the road, stating
that he had spent 10000 on this road
and never charged anything for the using
Of It, What struck me more was that
we are asked to pay for road to which ,
We get a right OF way for only five wears.
We ought to have the right of way for
good; that is the only sensible conclu- !
'ion which we can come to. ,
Rep. Nawahi stated that matter has
Ilready been considered. The Minister
vas to obtain the right OF way perpetu-
lily or not buy the road. r
: Rep. Brown said the fee was the \
jrown Land Commissioners. They could
lot make deed, because it was leased
or twenty years; he believed to the Ha- r
Valian Agricultural Company. The Gov q
