Rep. Koahou moved to insert an
item for a new Court House at Hilo.
Noble Thurston protested. He
would like to have the Ministers speak
on this. Did they intend to let MEM
bers run away with the Appropria-
ton Bill?
Minister Macfarlane suggested that
the member attend to his own affairs.
: Noble Thurston said he was doing
what the Minister should be doing,
attending to the affairs of the public.
Minister Macfarlane said it could
not truthfully be said that the Cab
met was in favor of increasing the
bill. He was not bound to rise and
speak every five minutes. Ee had

give him chance. He thanked GOD
