The report was received and placed
on the file.
The President stated that he would
probably commission the Board OF
Education, before the next meeting OF
the Council, and he would mention
the following names, in order TO re-
ceive any sugges tons which the
Council might make. The President
then mentioned Messrs. Hosmer
Hartwell, and Alexander. Mr.. Lowry
or Antoine Perry, Mrs. Dillingham;,
Mrs. Phillip Dodge or Mrs. H. n.
Castle, or Mrs. Dodge (of the Survey
Department.. 1t was desired to have
German on the board, and Mr.. He'd
eman among Others had been NEIL
toned.
Minister Damon drew attention to
the Importance of having a good man
for Secretary, as he had the accounts
to deal with.
The Attorney General brought up
the matter of the Road Board. He
thought the system should not be
changed until the people could be
consulted, and so it might be better to
let the board hold overfor the present
The Attorney General then read for
the first time bill on the subject as
follows:
The Attorney General said the Road
Boards now were largely composed of
appointees of the Minister of the In
terror. The road-board system had
worked well in many districts, and it
seemed better to continue something
Of the kind, except in Honolulu,
where it seemed less needful.
Mr.. Emmeluth did not believe in
any change in Honolulu. The Super
intendent of Public Works did not dc
the work well now that he had TO do.
The only objection to the Honolulu
road-board was, that they were royal
lists dyed in the wool. There was five
times as much road work in Honolulu
as in any other district.
Mr.. Ena moved the consideration
be deferred till next week. The At
torney- General wished the bill to pass
its first reading because prompt action
was needed, and amended 10 that
effect.
The motion, as amended, was then
passed.
Minister Damon introduced a bill
providing $4,000 for the general eX-
penses of the Provisional Govern
ment.
The bill passed its first reading.
The following bills were taken up
on second reading:
