On motion both reports were laid
on the table for consideration with
the Appropriation Bill
AT 1O:35 the order of the day was
moved and being carried the Assem-
bly, resolved into Committee of the
Whole, for consideration of items in
the Appropriation Bill, Rep. Kauna-
mano in the chair.
Post Office Bureau, continued.
The first item, "Salary clerks,
$50, ,000," was presented.
Noble Marsden moved that the
item read S33, ,12O.
Rep. Waipuilani considered that
the placing of the amount in lump
snm gave opportunity for unjust dis
elimination on the part of the head
of the bureau.
Rep. Smith did not understand
how the Assembly could discrimi-
nate in the matter, as they could not
judge of the capabilities or work OF
the different clerks.
Noble Macfarlane believed that the
discretion of dispensation should be
ia the hands of the Postmaster Gen
erul
Noble B Baldwin favored the amount
beug pass, d in a lump sum.
Rep. Bush said that it had been
stated that the employees had q
Glance to complain if they were not
treated right in the matter of sala-
rirs. lie would say that there was
no fear of that, for the very reason
that enc time some did complain, but
four of them were discharged by Mr..
Wundenberg. 1t was want of
principle which allowed the head of
a bureau to dispense the salaries at
his own sweet will.
Rep. Iosepa considered that it was
a mistake to vote the salaries in a
lump sum. The Assembly was like
the parents of family, they should
do the carving and apportion the
funds.
Rep. Smith asked the Ministry il
il was their opinion that the sum
should be voted as whole or in sep
arate sums. He would ask the rea.
son for the presentation in a lump
sum.
Minister Widemann said that it wa:
an ancient custom with no specia
rea~on Tor it. AS far as the Minis.
try were concerned they were not
committed to the item in any way,
Noble Baldwin considered that il
might be well to name the salaries OF
the chief clerks in the different de-
parlmenrs of the Bureau and pre-
sented a memoranda allotting salar'
les as follows: for the Secretary
$4, POO for the period; Supt. Posta
Savings Bank, So, 600; Supt. Money
Order Department, $4,000; the rest
of the amount for salaries to be pass
ed in lump sum.
AT this hour, II o'clock, Noble
Pua moved recess until 1880 and the
Committee rose.
