THE LEGISLATURE.
123D DAY.
MONDAY, Nov. ii, 1892.
Afternoon Session.

o'clock. The Attorney General
stated that they had presented Bill
l76, relative to the Reorganization
of the Judiciary Department, and
Bill 1871, to authorize the granting
of special permits for the practice of
medicine amongst lepers.
Consideration of items in the APP
preparation Bill, Section 2 were con
tinued.
Purchase of kuleanas at Kalau-
papa and Waiholu, 5000, was
amended to read "Kuleanas at
Leper Settlement" and passed at
the figure mentioned
Support of Lepers, 5000.
Noble Marsden moved that the
item be referred to the Sanitary
Committee. Carried
The Minister of the Interior moved
a new item,
Quarantine Expenses, $4,000.
Passed.
Aid Kapiolani Maternity Home,
S2,4OO was, on motion, referred to
the Sanitary Committee.
Subsidy to steamer between Homo
lulu, Molokai and Lanai, $500.
Noble Pua moved to strike the
item out.
Noble Marsden considered the
House could do better than that,
and that would be by referring the
item to the Committee on Commerce.
Rep. Kamauoha moved that the
item be referred to special com
mittee with Rep. Wilder as chair
man.
Rep. Wilder declined to fill the
position of chairman on any com
mittee which might consider the
item. He would say that the item
was now wrongly placed, it should
be in Section l. Appropriations in
this section could not be obtained
for a surety. The company have
been carrying freight in these steam
ers, for the Board of Health, at half
rates for some years back with a
tacit understanding that they would
continue to do SO while this subsidy
was paid.
Rep. Waipuilani favored the item.
The Wilder Steamship Co. were now
carrying freight for the Board of
Health at half rates. If the subsidy
was not passed they would charge
full rates and that would result in a
greater expense to the country than
if the subsidy was paid.
After some further discussion No
BILE Thurston moved that the item
pass and that the Clerk be instruct
ed to place it in Section 1.
On the motion being put it was
found that on an individual count
being made there were Is in favor to
Is against, and President Walker
cast his vote in favor of the motion.

Reservoir at Leper Settlement,
Molokai, $4,000.
After considerable discussion the

Young, passed at $4,000.

Subsidy for steamer from Homo
lulu to Kauai and Niihau, ;S2400.
Lost.
Aid to Kapiolani Park, $4,000.
Noble Marsden moved that the
item be referred to the Public Lands
Committee.
Rep. Iosepa moved that the item
be struck out.
Noble Thurston said that the
amount previously appropriated as
aid had been $1,000, he moved that
that be the amount and that it be
placed in Section l.
Referred to Public Lands Com
mittee.
Aid to the Paradise of the Pacific,
$24OO.
Rep. Robert w. Wilcox moved
that the item pass. If the attention
of only ten tourists, per year, was
directed hither by the efforts of the
journal, the result would more than
pay for the amount appropriated.
Noble Thurston amended by NOV
ing that the item be placed in the
LIST Section of the Bill. Carried.
