Noble Baldwin reported for the
Finance Committee on bill No. |, an
Act providing money for witnesses,
interpreters, etc. The committee find
that the items for these matters eX-
pired on March 81, and Section 6 of
the appropriation bill, which extends
the time of payment until July 81,
does not enumerate them. The Depu-
ty Auditor-General rightly, rs the
committee thinks, declined to audit
the account. The committee recon-
mends the passage of the bill. Signed
by all the members except l.. y.
Thurston (absent).
Rep. Waipuilani moved that the re-
port of the committee be received and
considered with the bill.
Noble Neumann said the bill should
be passed under suspension of rules.
To serve as witness was not pleasant,
e d it was 4 gross injustice to them
4sot to pay them their simple ex-
penses of attendance. In that aspect
it is of serious Importance to the peO-
pie who have sent us here to enact
laws for them. 1t should not be pre-
cedent for rushing legislation, but the
Circuit Court would open Tuesday,
and no appropriation to pay wit
nesses, etc. He would move the bill
pass to its second and third reading
under suspension of rules. He thought
this course would commend itself to
the House.
Rep. KamauOha said there was force
in the remarks of the hon. Noble, but
the bill had been ordered printed, and
as all the members did not understand
it, it would be well to wait until it was
printed.
Rep. Smith said the bill had not been
ordered printed, but referred directly
to the Finance Committee. He moved
that the report of the bill be adopted
and the bill placed in the order of the
day.
Noble Neumann accepted that mo-
ton which was carried.
