Considerable discussion ensued as to
this item. Rep. Smith declaring it to
be necessary. Rep. Kaunamauo said
it looked like an attempt to make
place for somebody, whereupOn Min
lister Neumann called attention to the
fact that he had had the assistance of
Rep. Kaunamauo himself in passing
this item in 1886. There was not an
ADLER chemist in the United States
than Professor Lyons, and it was
necessary to have one such man in
the country.
The item was referred to the same
select committee.

houses, $4,000.
Referred to same committee.
Permanent improvements, boarding
schools, $4,000.
Referred to same committee.

penses, $4,000.
Attorney General Neumann had
had but short time to examine into
these matters. The expenditure for
! the last biennial period had been
| $24,0 900. The expenses could not be
met with less than $4,000, with the
strictest economy.
Rep. Smith moved the item pass at
$4,000 which should be ample, if
proper economy were practised.
Attorney General Neumann pro-
tested against allowing department
too small an appropriation thus COM
polling it to come in later and ask to
have q deficiency made up; $4,000
was as small an appropriation as
could safely be made.
Rep. Bipikane said if the Mar
shall and Acknowledgement would
do as Mr.. Rowell did, instead
of spending government money
for hacks, just ride q little
mule around, and when they went
to the other islands take the mule
with them, they would not spend so
much.
Noble Baldwin favored the motion
to place the item at $4,000. Proceed
ing, the speaker called attention to
the extravaganza ruling in the Police
Department. There had been a big
jumping up in the incidental items.
There must be economy where there
had been lavishness, and the fund
more carefully guarded than in the
past.
The item passed at $1,000.
Unpaid bills for last period $720S. "a.
Passed.
Support, Maintenance and Cost OF
Prisoners $4,000.
Acknowledgement Neumann said
} the returns for the last four months
showed that at least 1927, 200 would be
required instead of $4,000. He would
ask the House therefore for a delay OF
a week ON this item.
