The Councils of the Republic were
called 70 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
Caudless and Emmeluth.
Arthur Wilder was appoi uted sec
rotary pro tenn, DR.. 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 appropriate
ton for the beach road to Waikiki be
increased from 5000 to $500.
Carried.
Mr.. Damon asked the insertion of
the sum OF 81, 30 for the erection OF
new school houses, and cottages for
teachers, which were greatly needed.
\ 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 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 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
valuable, and the market should be
on the other side of town. He would
vote against the item, unless 1t was
understood that the market was to be
moved.
Mr.. EmmeIuth thought the Execu-
tive should tell what they intended
TO do with this $4,000.
Mr.. Ena did not believe that the
item should be stricken out. He
would move To use the money in
erecting q new market where the
present market stands.
Mr.. d. 3. Smith asked whether the
Government owned the land where
the old market l., and was told il did.
Mr.. Warehouse said that Mr.. Ena
had expressed his idea and withdrew
his motion 10 strike out.
Mr.. Emmeluth thought the prOpO-
sitiOn should be submitted by the
Executive. He did not want TO be
bulldOZed, and would want a weeks
time TO think over il.
Minister Damon said that the Ha-
wall roads and the pumping plant
handle NJ present. When these were
paid for, they would probably see
their way clear TO building the new
market.
Mr.. Ena's amendment was carried.
Mr.. WaterhOuse asked If the apprO-
priation of SIP, 600 would be enough
for the new water works plant.
Minister Damon said IL would.
Mr.. E.mmeIuth wanted To know
fra- f.a- for a fer a
was for. He understood that there
was enough pipe lying on the beach
ut kahuluI 10 pipe all Honolulu. =
Minister Damon said that pipe be-
IOnged to the district OF Waikiki, and
could not very well be used for other
purposes.
Mr.. Brown thought that an i'm
prOvemeut should be made on the
Pail road. He moved the insertion of
an item of 900 for such improve
meut. This item had been introduced
in many Legislatures, but had always
been killed, and he thought the Re
public should take hold OF 1t.
Minister Smith thought that the
Hawaii roads needed repairing more
than the Pail road, especially As there
was prospect of the railroad being
built around the island.
Mr.. Eua thought that, with the
present facilities furnished by the
liner Island steamship Company, it
was not necessary 10 Introduce such
an item. Laughter
Mr. Brown withdrew his motion,
saying ne would wait until the third
reading OF the DILL.
Inc word councils in the third
section vas changed TO '.legiSIature.u
Inc OIL passed its second reading.
Inc Oil permitting foreign vessels
10 carry passengers between islands
lying u che northwest of Hawaii
passed its second reading.
Minister Hatch said that f., +bo
