The Loan Appropriation Bill Comes
Up Again.
THE MARKET SWITCHED AGAIN.
Last Week the Councils Were Nearly
Unanimous in Wanting to Erect a New
Market on the Old site, and Now
They Want to Use the New One.

The Councils met yesterday after
noon, with Chairman Wilder pre-
siding. There were present Min
listers Hatch, King, Damon and Smith,
and Councillors Ena, Allen, McCand-
less, Warehouse, Morgan, d. B..
Smith, Emmeluth, Bolte and Mott.
The minutes of the preceding
meeting were read and approved.
The secretary read three petitions,
two in English and one in native from
citizens in North Kona, all to the
effect that new roads were greatly
needed in that district, and complain
ing that several homesteaders bad to
pack their lumber, in order TO comply
with their contract with the Govern
ment.
Mr.. Morgan moved to refer the pc
titions to the Executive Council. Car

The Minister of Finarce Presented
the regular weekly finance statement,
which was received and placed on
file.
The Attorney General presented a
new act relating to the election of con-
tested seats in the Legislature, which
passed its first reading.
The bill authorizing the Minister of
the Interior to grant licenses % for
eign vessels for certain coasting priv
ileges came up for its third reading
Minister Damon moved that the
price of such licenses be reduced from
$50 to $25.
Mr.. McCandless said he understood
that island schooners had to pay
nearly $3.50 a year for cOasting privi-
leges, and he did not see why foreign
vessels should have such an advan-
tage.
Mr.. Damon proposed to make it S25
a trip.
Mr.. Emmeluth did not like to see
such tax put on vessels going to get
cargoes of guano. The fertilizer
works should be helped instead of re-
tarded, and as the Government
received already fifty cents ton on
all guano, the addition of at Least five
cents a ton was not fair.
The amendment passed, and the bill
passed its third reading.
The mail service bill passed its third
reading.
The loan appropriation bill was
taken up for its third reading.
Mr.. Morgan wanted to know how
much it would cost to complete the
new fish market. The Minister of the
Interior said about 100000. Mr.. Nor
gan said he did not think more than
half of this amount was required. He
moved that the $4,000 be appropri-
ated to finish the new market. 1t was
not right to waste the taxpayers
money by leaving that building un-
completed.
The Attorney General seconded Mr..
Morgan's motion. He had thought
over the matter Il great deal dur
ing the past week, and had
concluded that it was the best
place for it. In nearly all cities mar
kets are placed in central part OF the
town. The matter has had the care
full attention offormer Legislatures and
the reasons which prevailed then are
stronger now then then. The place
where the old market stands is an
abominabIe place. 1t is cramped and
there is no carriage room, nor are
the surroundings appropriate. 1t has
given the Board OF Health great
deal of trouble. Another reason is
that We are crampad for wharf room,
and none of it should be used when it
1, 1, Il, 81 70, ha. n Fi.aln
market entirely. 1t is for meat, veg
etables and other things, and the new
site is very appropriate.
d. B. Smith thought that market
should be close to the sea, but if a
canal could be built from the sea to
the new market, it would solve all
difficulties.
Mr.. Emmeluth was satisfied that if
the new market could be completed
and made serviceable for $4,000, that
was the place for it.
Minister Damon thought the mar
ket should be placed where the peo-
pie are. The bulk of those who use
the market live near the old one, and
up the valley, and the old market is
more convenient. The Government
owns that whole locality and proper
and suitably sized building could be
put up there for $4,000 He would
like to see the new market used as
Government warehouse.
Mr.. McCandless agreed with Minis
ter Damon.
Mr.. WaterhOuse moved the item
pass as in the bill, that is that the old
market place be the site of the new
one.
President Dole thought that the best
place for the market was where the
new one was situated. All of the
water front should be perfectly clear.
Although the old market is possibly
more convenient to the natives and
Cinnamon, the new location is not at
all out of the way, and the city is
building that way,
Mr.. Morgan's amendment was car
ried
Mr.. Emmeluth, referring to the ap-
Precipitation of $500 for new buildings
at the insane asylum, said he thought
the time was approaching when the
asylum would have to be moved. The
place was too open. He had seen
time and again, insane people come
up on the hills, tear off their clothes
and wave them over their heads, and
others would come near his home and
in a sing song way relate all their
troubles to him. This was not right
