AFTERNOON SESSION.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The House was called to order at
1:20 p. NJ.
Attorney General Brown stated that
the bill to reorganfze the Judiciary
Department, and that to grant special
permits to treat lepers had been pre-
sented to the Queen.
Consideration of the Appropriation
bill continued.
Purchase of kuleanas..at Kalaupapa
and Waikolu, $4,000. Passed with a
verbal amendment.
Support of lepers, $4,000. Referred
| to Sanitary Committee.
Minister Wilcox moved to insert
Quarantine expenses, $4,000. Passed.
Aid to Kapiolani Maternity Home,
$2400. Referred to Sanitary Commit
| tee.
Subsidy to steamer between Homo
lulu, Molokai and Lanai, $500.
Noble Pua moved the item be
stricken out.
Noble Marsden moved reference to
the Committee on Commerce.
Rep. Wilder stated that the COM
pany had carried freight for the Board
of Health at half rates, on the tacit
understanding that this subsidy would
be paid.
Reps. Waipuilani and Iosepa favor
ed the item.
Noble Thurston said the advantage
of the subsidy was, that it compelled
the steamer to 60 to Lanai and La
haina, which it otherwise might not
do. This was simply one way of pay
ing the freight.
Acknowledgement Brown called at
tention to the fact that the item
should not be in Section 2.
Noble Thurston moved it pass and
be transferred to Section /.
Carried, the President casting the
deciding vote.
Rep. Smith moved to insert, Reser-
voir for Leper Settlement, $4,000.
Noble Thurstor: Do you think we
ought to borrow money for that?
Rep. Smith: Yes, do. The reser-
voir is needed. At present there is
danger of the water supply being cut
off by the pipe being broken. More
over, there is not at present sufficient
water for irrigation. If they could
get little more water at Kalaupapa
they could plant trees, and so get 4
sufficient supply of firewood, which is
now obtained at great difficulty and
cost.
Noble Marsden moved the item pass
at $500. There was good supply of
water there and no prospect of the
pipes breaking.
Noble Thurston said that cement
reservoir, such as was proposed, was
!: entirely unnecessary.
Noble Horner thought the head OF
the Maui Noble was level.
Noble Young could not agree that
dirt was better than cement. There
, was more rock than soil at the point
where the proposed reservoir was to
be located. But the figures given
enough. Blasting would be necessary
; He favored sufficient appropriation
say $500, in addition to the $500 in
Section l.
The item passed at $500.
Noble Pua moved to insert Subsidy
to steamer to run between Honolulu
Kauai and Niihau, $240O. The Noble
= held that there was as much reason
for subsidy in this case as in the
other.
The item was lost.
Aid to Kapiolani Park Association
$4,000.
Noble Thurston moved the item
:, pass at $4,000 and be transferred t.
= Section /. That was the amount a
: which it had passed for years.

tee, $24O0. Passed and transferred t.
: Section l.
