should be done by public tender aud
contract. He moved resolution
20 require the Government to call
for tenders for the proposed wharf
extension.
Minister Smith replied that the
mover entirely misapprehended the
law, which was to prevent work be-
ing given to outsiders without open
tender.
Mr.. Emmcluth retorted that il was
, not right for the Government to OBJ
ject to every proposal that was in
the line of fair play Openings were
being made for discreditable jobs.
IL made the matter in question all
! the worse that the inau in charge of
wharf extension did not know any
thing about the business. Question
Who is ,hat2 Bill Jarrett, aud
he's a royalist to boot.
Mr.. Wilder wanted to ask il Mr..
Emmeluth ever knew of wharf be-
! ing constructed in Honolulu by cou-
tract. Ii was out OF the question
because only the Government had
the plant for driving piles. The
kinau wharf was built 10y his the
speaker's) brother because when il
was needed the Government was not
in a position to build it. As to the
man to be put in charge John On
derkirk-the Government was doing
wisely in employing him. There
was nobody in the country more ex-
perienced or capable, and he had as
1 t,rht 10 IDr a lac
prior residence in the country, as the
Councillor who had moved the reso.
luton.
Mr.. Hatch thought Mr.. Emme-
luth was proceeding under a wrong
theory Of the law. There was no.
thing to prevent the Governments
doing any public work on its own
account.
The resolution was lost, only Mr..
Waterhouse voting with the mover.
Minister Smith, with expressions
Of regret for the necessity, intro
duced bill to appropriate S72l2.12,
to cover unpaid accounts for pay OF
police Of Oahu, and incidentals, civil
and criminal expenses, up to March
81, 1891. He referred to emergen-
cies that had To he met in uuexpect-
eel dangers having arisen.
Mr.. Emmeluth, on a motion that
the bill pass, severely attacked the
extravagauce OF expenditure. IL was
, disgrace that the Councils should
have at last meeting voted $3.50 a
month to an official on q jupketing
trip. These repeated calls for extra
expenses made him almost decide to
vote against every appropriation in
future, especially y when men with
families were idle for want Of work
that might be- given them on public
improvements.
, Minister Smith considered that
the remarks OF the previous speaker
called for reply. II was inconsist-
ent to talk on behalf Of idle men, Ia
this connection. when some had been
made idle to save expenses in the
police depart mcnt.
Mr.. Emineluth said he referred "a
idle men who should be employed
on the roads.
Minister Smith called the speaker
To order, the roads were not before
. the house.
Aftor u little NOR. of dialogue
, the motion carried.
B Minister Smith moved to suspend
, the rules To pass ths bill on second
} reading.
Mr.. Morgan strongly objected to
! this railroading Of legislation. The
Attorney General should have
: known some weeks ago il this money
, was to be required.
. The rules were suspended aud the
: bill passed.
The Appropriation Bill for Sala
: ries and Pay Rolls for the period
from April |, 1894, to March 81
1896, camo up for first reading.
Mr.. Emmeluth thought this mat
ter should be deferred until il could
be dealt with by regularly elected
Legislature under permanent foru
!. OF government.
Minister Damon had observed
that whenever they had taken for
y ward step they had not regretted il
II was necessary that this worl
4 should go right along, rs otherwis,
there would ba confusing mass o
work left to their successors. Will,
he did not claim the bill was per
o feet, yet he believed il was an im
provement. Every part of it hat
been carefully gone over aud checked
u with the heads OF the departments
. There being no scconder to Mr.
: Emmeluth's motion, the reading o
" the bill was proceeded with.
Mr.. Emmeluth objected, whel
\, the first item was read-"Salary O
President, S4,OOU'-to having tn,

Minister Damon said the question
u was whether the bill should be- dis
q cussed, item by item, once or twice
