approved as usual.
Noble Marsdcn from the commit
tee on ways and means presented a
report on Board of Health items re-
commencing changes as follows:
Salary of President $500; salary
of Secretary $1,000; general ex-
penses Sl3,370; segregation, support
and treatment of lepers S2,l6l; sup
port of non-leprous children of
lepers $3.50. Tabled for consider
alton with the Appropriation Bill.
Minister Widemann presented
answers to questions relative to the
means provided to pay amounts due
the Oahu Railway Co., by the Gov
eminent and that the Appropria-
ton Bill provides for the amount
that can be claimed. When the pre-
sent Bill was prepared there appear
ed to be no probability that any add
ton would be made to the present
railway and consequently no appro-
priation. If during the session of
the Legislature it is ascertained that
additional road be built an appropria-
ton ought to be made to meet the
emergency.
Minister Widemann in answer to
questions relative to the return of
fees paid by candidates for election,
stated that Section AZ of Chap. Sc,
Laws of 1890, provides that each
candidate for Representatives shall
deposit with the Minister of the In
terror S25 and each candidate for
Noble $50.
The same section further provides
that these amounts shall be paid in
to the Treasury as a Government re-
alization. As no money can be paid
out of the Treasury without appro-
priation by the Legislature, it fol-
lows that the Government cannot
refund to any candidate the money
so deposited under the conditions
stated by the hon. members from
Kau.
Minister Spencer in answer to
questions propounded by Noble
Marsden in regard to the dredging
of the Honolulu harbor bar, stated
in writing that:
LIST. The conditions of the con-
tract are that the sand is to be de-
posted within the space enclosed
for dumping ground. The pipe
line is to be constructed and main
tanned by the Government. This
line is now constructed out a dis
lance of 100 feet from the dumping
ground and to depth of % feet of
water.
I'd. 1t is fact that at present tn,
dredgings are discharged outside
and for the reason that sand hum,
mocks on the extreme outer edge o
the bar are being levelled. Wher
the hummocks are levelled the
French ship of war DubourdieuD a
present outside can with safety cross
the bar and enter the harbor o
Honolulu, should her commanding
officer so desire. This dischargins
outside will end on the 18th, whel
the dredge will again begin on tn,
Waikiki side of the bar. These out
side dredgings cannot be carried
into the dumping grounds withou
mourning great expense for pip
line.
