THE LEGISLATURE.
101sT DAY.
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 5, 1892.
Afternoon Session.

The Assembly reconvened at lao
o'clock, from recess, and considera-
ton of the items in the report from
special committee, in re scholar
ships, we're considered and passed
as follows:
Oahu College, 8; st. Louis, 81; To-
lani, II; Hilo Boarding Schools, s;
Kamehameha School, Ga total of
30, $4,000. Passed.
Salary Professor of Chemistry,
5000. Passed.
Building and repairs of school
houses, $4,000.
There was but little argument on
the passage of this amount, it being
deemed so small that there was no
ground for objection.
The item in the report relative to
the appropriation for a school and a
dwelling house for the teacher at
Hanamaulu, Kauai, $1,000, was con
sidered.
Rep. Smith said that the amount
was much needed for the object in
tended. There were $50 children in
the district, and although not all of
school age yet many of them had to
travel through rain and mud to at
tend school at present This would
be more central spot.
Rep. A. Horner objected to sepa-
rate items. He could see that Rep
Smith was inclined to think only OF
himself and his district and was not
thoughtful of the calls of other
places nor of the money to be OBJ
tanned.
NJ a ~ cd hat -,
conversation with the President OF
the Board of Education he had been
informed that the amount appropri-
ated, viz, $4,000, was much toe
small. He believed that the amount
was too small himself, but the ext
gency of the times was such that
the country could not now afford tc
be liberal and not even generous
The President of the Board was ;
gentleman whom he and his col
leagues had faith in, and h (Mr
Bishop was well acquainted will
the needs of the Board of Education
better by far than the members o
the House. He was not in favor o
increasing items, but in this case h
would be willing to add to the gen
eral fund, previously passed. ant
isolate the particularization of thi
item. He would favor the addition
of $500 to the general item, maxim,
it S12,500, but this or other specia
items he would oppose.
After long and wearisome argu
ment the item was passed at $3.50
but Immediately after, on motion o
Noble Marsden, the items of $1,000
for building and repairs of school
houses and the one just passed wer
both again brought up in statu qm
by reconsideration.
On motion the fund was mad
general, notwithstanding argument
to particularize, and passed as Build
ing and repairs to school-house!
$12,5O0.
A decided and strong attempt t
clean up the first section of the bill
was now evinced, the following item
being presented and passed almos
without comment, viz:
Support and care of prisoners
$4,000 Passed.
Salary Auditor-General, $4,000
Passed.
Salary Deputy Auditor-G Genera
$1,000. Passed.
Free removal OF garbage, Sl2,OO
Passed
Honolulu Fire Department, $40
600. Passed
The item relative to subsidy fc
the Oceanic Steamship Co., $36,O0'
was brought up but for brief me-
ment only, there being doubt abol
whether it was yet entirely cut loo:
from section 2 of the bill. Whe
that doubt was removed there Wa
no definite report of the committt
presented although Noble Cornwe
member of the committee, state
that $4,000 would be recommends
by them.
Pending action Noble Marsden
4:05 moved adjournment and I'll
Assembly dissolved.
