The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-08-24


called to order by Chairman Wilder
yesterday afternoon. There were
present Ministers Hatch, King, Da-
mon and Smith and Councillors
Brown, Ena, Allen, Smith, Mott,
Mendonca, Bolte, Waterhouse, Nc
Candless and Emmeluth.
Arthur Wilder was appointed sec
rotary pro tenn, DIR. Rodgers being
absent.
The reading of the minutes of the
previous meeting was dispensed with.
Minister Damon presented the reg
ular weekly finance statement which
was received and placed on file.
The Loan Appropriation Act was
taken up for second reading.
Councillor Allen asked if there was
any money to finish the bridges in
Hanalei. He had been there recently
and had been told that there was no
money.
Minister Damon said that the Ex-
ecutive had followed the policy of
using borrowed money for new i'm
provements and not for repairs, money
for the latter coming out of the cur
rent fund.
Mr.. Ena moved that the appropria-
ton for the beach road to Waikiki be
increased from $4,000 to $500.
Carried.
Mr.. Damon asked the insertion of
the sum of S27, 255 for the erection of
new school houses, and cottages for
teachers, which were greatly needed.
A number of these schools were at
distance, and the slight extra cost was
necessary on account of the distance
lumber would have to be carried.
The item was inserted.
Mr.. Warehouse moved that the
item of $4,000 for the new fish mar
ket be stricken out, and an appropria-
ton made for repairs on the old fish |
market.
Minister Smith was not in favor of |
the motion. We needed a new mar
ket. He had very little sympathy |
with the idea of insisting that the |
market be at the waters edge. The |
present location of the new market |
might not be the best, but a new one
was needed, and at once. The old
market is in a deplorable condition
and it is impossible to keep it in
proper order. Whether the new build
ing is to be kept where it is or moved,
there should be something done at
once, and he saw no reason why action
should not be taken.
Mr.. Brown believed in having a
new fish market, but not where it is
now. That property is altogether too
and the market should be
On the other side of town. He would
vote against the item, unless it was
that the market was to be
moved.
Mr.. Emmeluth thought the Execu-
i've should tell what they intended
% do with this 5000.
Mr.. Ena did not believe that the
tenn should be stricken out. He
would move to use the money in
erecting a new market where the
present market stands.
Mr.. d. B. Smith asked whether the
government owned the land where
he old market is, and was told il did.
Mr.. Warehouse said that Mr.. Ena
lad expressed his idea and withdrew {
lis motion to strike out.
Mr.. Emmeluth thought the propo-
ition should be submitted by the
Executive. He did not want to be
and would want a weeks
ime 10 think over it.
Minister Damon said that the Ha-
,aii roads and the pumping plant
,ere all that the Government could l
andle at present. When these were
aid for, they wOuld probably see [
heir way clear to building the new
larket
Mr.. Ena's amendment was carried. S
Mr.. Waterhouse asked if the appro- n
ration Of SIP, coo would be enough q
n the new water works plant.
Minister Damon said it would.
Mr.. Emmeluth wanted to know
hat the $4,000 for water at Wailuku y
as for. He understood that there :
as enough pipe lying on the beach 1t
Kahulul to pipe all Honolulu.
Minister Damon said that pipe be- Il
nged to the district of Waikiki, and -
,uld not very well be used for other |,
lrposes. u
Mr.. Brown thought that an i'm il
'Ovement should be made on the n
ali road. He moved the insertion of
! item of $4,000 for such improve
ent. This item had been introduced
many Legislatures, but had always
zen killed, and he thought the Re
lblic should take hold of it. IT.
Minister Smith thought that the -"
avail roads needed repairing more 81
an the Pail road, especially as there II
as prospect of the railroad being .,
tilt around the island. al
Mr.. Ena thought that, with the W
esent facilities furnished by the sc
ter Island Steamship Company, it J,
as not necessary to introduce such a,
item. Laughter a.
Mr.. Brown Withdrew his motion, a
wing he would wait until the third pl
aiding of the bill. M
The word councils" in the third D
ctiOn was changed to 'legislature.u -
The bill passed its second reading. &C
The bill permitting foreign vessels &C
carry passengers between islands or
ing to the northwest of Hawaii
ssed its second reading.
Minister Hatch said that, in the
after of granting the franchises for sc
ilding an electric road in Honolulu, m
