Passed.
New Market Honolulu, $4,000.
Rep. Edmonds moved the item be
stricken out.
Rep. Smith strongly opposed that
notion.
Rep. Kanealii favored passage of
the item. The condition of the
market was a disgrace in q country
supposed to be Christian.

Central Station Fire Department,
$4,000.
Noble Marsden moved it pass at
$4,000.
Minister Jones moved to add the
words, and for chemical engine.
able corrugated iron structure could
be built for twelve or thirteen thous-
and dollars. By erecting such q
building the government would effect
n great saving in rent.
Noble Young questioned the wis
dom of erecting such a shell. If it
would pay to borrow money for any
thing, it would pay to borrow it TO
erect a substantial building. He
moved reference to special commit
tee.
Noble Marsden said the country
had got along with shells for twenty
years during its prosperity, and this
was no time for the luxury of brick
buildings.
Attorney General Brown said a
brick building would last four or five
times as long as one of corrugated
iron. The chemical engine was ORR
ginally intended for the plains, but
when it arrived it was found to be too
large for that purpose. 1t was not
necessary to refer the item to select
committee.
Noble Homer did not think it would
be business to pay interest on the
$4,000 extra required for a brick
building.
The item passed at $4,000, as
amended.
Addition to Post Office and vault,
$4,000.
Noble Marsden said this was a
legitimate object, for which money
could be borrowed, as large number
of boxes would be sold. He moved
the item pass, striking out the words
"and vault" Carried.
New vault for Survey Office, $500.
10 To no
partment had got along without tha
vault from the beginning; but he wa.
told that there were million dollars
worth of maps there, and the Objec
was to protect them from fire. Per
haps those maps could be stored else
where. They might be put in TIN
Treasury vault. There was, unfOr
tunately, too much room there. III
moved reference to one of the Min
listers.
Acknowledgement Brown said tn
item should pass. The money woul'
not be spent if the Government dit
not have it. Those maps were invalu
able, and could not be replaced. /

preserve maps worth a million.
The item passed as in the bill.
New wash houses at Honolulu
$500.
Rep. Edmonds moved reference to
select committee.
Rep. Smith favored the passage @
the item. 1t yielded a handsom
revenue TO the Government and wa
necessary for the public health.
Rep. Iosepa commented on the ma
odorousness of the wash houses. TIL
location should perhaps be changed.
Minister Wilcox gave the receipt
and expenditures, showing the invest
ment to be q profitable one.
Noble Homer saw no reason to refe
the item to a committee. The Minis
tiers could locate the wash house
where they saw fit. He liked to Sc
those items passed which produced
revenue.

the item to the Ministry.

necessary at this time. The Ministr
