SELECT COMMITTEES.
Rep. KOahou asked for further time
for the Opium Committee. Granted.
Noble Berger resolved that the
Committee on Accounts be authorized
to pay all bills relating to printing,
translating and proof-reading, of BIZ
ennial departmental reports presented
to this House.
Rep. Ashford claimed that the ex-
penses should be paid out of the Incl
dentals of the departments. When he
was attorney-general if his memory
did not deceive him, his two printed
reports were paid out of the depart
ment appropriation.
Rep. Smith said the question had
arisen several times before. The prac
tice for the last three sessions was to
pay these bills out of the appropria-
tion for the Legislature. Before this
rule was made there were abuses. The
reports were for the benefit of the
House.
Rep. Kamauoha suggested that the
resolution be withdrawn. The COM
hn ht1f
not decided it, and pending its consid-
Grafton the resolution should be de-
ferred.
Noble Macfarlane favored the reso-
luton. 1t was in accordance with
custom. There was no use in referring
it back to the committee, as it could
be disposed of at once. The Chief
Justice had told him last session that
there was no provision in the inciden-
tails of his department for printing and
translating. The matter should be
disposed of without further debate.
Rep. Iosepa supported the word of
Rep. Kamauoha, because it was not
just for one member of a committee
to introduce such resolution without
consulting his colleagues.
Noble Marsden moved the previous
question. Carried on a rising vote.
The resolution was adopted.
Noble Thurston, under suspension
of the rules, presented petition from
Mr.. Turrill. 1t sets forth that he was
instrumental in selling certain opium,
but has never received his share of the
proceeds. Referred to the Opium
Committee.
Rep White read by title an Act to
amend section 3SS of the Civil Code,
relating to fisheries.
Rep. Iosepa resolved that $500 be
set aside for Court House and lock-
up at Honuaula, Maui. He moved it
be laid on the table with the Appro-
priation bill.
Rep. Smith moved reference to the
Committee ON Internal Improve.
ments. Tt was not right to lay it on
the table with the Appropriation bill
before consideration by the appropri-
ate committee. He deprecated the
pernicious practice which the House
was following, which made the pas
sage of these items personal matter
and necessitated acting without u full
knowledge of the facts.
Rep. Nawahi favored consideration
with the Appropriation bill. Homo
lulu had fine Court House; that dis
trict had none. The present building
was rotting away and thejudge might
catch cold sometime.
Noble Thurston did not want any
more items referred to the Commit
tee on Public Lands than necessary,
but there ought to be some investiga-
ton of every item wherever possible.
There was, or should be, report to
the Superintendent of Public Works
on every public building in the King
dom.
Noble Baldwin fully agreed with
the remarks made on this subject.
Rep. Kapahu said there was more
waste Of time in referring to COM
nittee.
Rep. Iosepa said there was nothing
in the report of the Superintendent of
Public Works said about that Court
House. The superintendent had not
been there. He was in Honolulu,
eating up the public money.
Rep. White made long speech,
which he wanted translated, but the
interpreter had forgotten it. He

question. Carried.

Rep. Kamauoha resolved that So be
refunded to certain Hawaiian in KO-
hala, for double taxation. Referred
to the Finance Committee.
Rep. White resolved that $500 be
inserted in the Appropriation bill for
q read from Lahaina to Kauaula. He
moved reference to a select committee
of five, to be composed of Maui mem
bers.
Noble Thurston thought such COM
mittee would be very partizan. The
regular committees were made up in
. fair way, without favoring any one
district, and reference to one of them
would be the better course.
The resolution was referred to q
special committee consisting of the
following: Reps. White, Kauhi and
A. g. Wilcox, and Mobiles Anderson
and Hind.
Noble Marsden gave notice of al
