The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1892-07-23

[ VA.
Rep. Smith remarked on the bill as
follows:
The committee deemed the subject OF
regulating the manufacture of poi in
Honolulu one which should receive care
iul consideration. Some OF the provis-
ions OF the law OF 1888 are better than
those OF the proposed law. The limits of
the district to which the law shall apply
are better set forth in the law of 1888.
And the requirement in the proposed
law that the Government shall provide
steam apparatus for cooking the taro will
largely increase the expense and conse-
quent cost of poi. Moreover, the pro-
posed law provides for the erection Of
building or buildings at place near the
wash-houses, whereas the law OF 1888
authorizes the Minister OF Interior to
construct houses at suitable places with
in the prescribed limits; this we con-
slider better provision. 1t may be a
hardship TO compel all poi makers to
come to one place; besides it is doubtful
if the neighboi hood OF the wash-houses
is the best locality. While the commit
tee consider it desirable that the manu-
facture Of poi in Honolulu be under
proper regulation, We do not feel dis
posed to recommend the enforcement of
the law before knowing how much it will
coat TO erect the necessary buildings.
We therefore have recommended that
the Minister Of the Interior be requested
to report to the House how many build
ings will be required and what the cost
will be.
The report was adopted.

CONSIDERATION OF APpR0PRIATIo>
" BILL.
For the preservation and ARA nge
ment of the Government Archives an(
the Preparation Of q photography o
the Hawaiian Kingdom" $4,000.
Passed unanimously.
Pay of two clerks Of the Receivin!
Station, $3.50.
Par y,onua1 that ho itnn
be stricken out. The native captains
of police could perform the duties jus
as well.
Noble J. NJ. Horner reminded Rep
Bipikane that it was not wise econ
Omy to cut off too many clerks in tn
police department. That would i'm
pair greatly the carrying on of tina
department. The committee had Gu
off several clerks, and the House TIL
other day cut off some more, and Rep
Bipikane now favors striking out tw
more, making altogether seven clerk
to be thrown out.
Rep. KaunamanO was in favor o
the work being done by captains q
watches.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox wished the At
torney-General to define the duties @
the said clerks.
The Chairman ordered the sergeant
alarms to bring the Attorney-Gen
eral before the Committee of tn
Whole.
Noble Thurston claimed that tn
Chairman had no authority to sen,
the sergeant-at-arms after the AttOT
ney-General. The President onl,
had the right.
The Chairman cooled down, sayin
that he thought he had the sam
privileges as the President, but h
would not enforce his rights, becaus
| the House had no rule concerning tn
point in dispute.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox then move,
| the committee rise, as the cOmmitte,
could not proceed without the pres
ence of the Attorney General. H
| believed that the Committee of Way
and Means had given better informa
| ton concerning that bureau than tn
head of the department.
Rep. Kamauoha favored the Hous
proceeding with its business. Th
House was aware that the Attorney
! General has signified his intention o
resigning. Rep. Wilcox ought to b
| we'll acquainted with the affairs o
the department as he had been Their
as frequently as the Acknowledgements
himself.
! Minister Parker announced that h
had in his possession the resignation c
the Acknowledgement, that was tn
reason Of his absence this morning
The Cabinet and the Queen have no
! answered him yet, therefore the AT
! torney-General does not know whe
Their it has been accepted or not.
| Noble Baldwin moved that the bal
ance of the items for clerks in tn
Marshal's department, and pay G
police for Maui, Hawaii and Kaua
be referred back to the Ways AM
Means Committee to include fou
HaWaiians. The committee ha
been hampered in their worl
because they have not been me
with properly by the Marshal
Some of the members favor tn
measure proposed by the Ways anC
Means Committee whose motto ha
been ECONOMY" but according t.
some members they want strikin!
out all the clerks; but that will inter
fere with the progress of the Marshall
department.
Noble Thurston said that the re
marks of Noble Baldwin and Minister
Parker were not convincing at all
After making many remarks con
corning the subject on hand, he re-
marked that if the members persist IL
asking questions of the Attorney.
General, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs might as we'll get into that
vacant seat and answer the questions
Minister Parker exclaimed that be
did not want to obstruct the workings
of the House, but he had no right tc
