Rep. Bipikane considered that
I there was no need of giving any
!. subsidy. Even if it was stopped the
o steamers would still call here.

giving the company a subsidy o.
$4,000 per year provided they would

it undoubtedly but we are now too
. poor to offer it to them. He favored
. the report of Mobiles Cornwell anC
\ Baldwin for $4,000 and $4,000.
- Rep. White was also in favor o.
=. $4,000 for the regular subsidy an6
$1,000 for the extra II trips to Hilo
