: Rep. Rycroft said the cut was favore
by the committee becauss there was re
ally no necessity for it. Last year, per
haps there was, on account OF the revo
luton here.
The cut went through, and Rep. Rob
ertson moved that the appropriation 70
military pay rolls be taken up. TIL,
member said:
The Minister of Foreign Affairs hai
explained that during the month of Jan
uary last the sum expended was 500. 81
more than the average monthly allow
ance, but that during February anC
March the amount expended was within
| the average. He suggested that tbs
item pass at S133, 900, and an extra ap-
preparation Of 500 be made to cover the
expenditures for January. Carried.
| The salary of the deputy sheriff OF
Maui was kept at $4,000, but Rep. Kaeo
did not think the place was worth any
more than was paid the deputy sheriff
of Kauai, which was 81, 400.
Minister Smith, who is an authority
on deputy sheriffs in general, but on
Kauai in particular, opposed the rtduc-
ton, because the roads were better on
Kauai than on Maui, and it was not so
hard to get around. The bill was
drawn at 800 while he was absent
from executive session. He believed the
place was worth 1925 per month. Pass
ed at $4,000.
Rep. Hanuna, the member from Maui,
who is constantly introducing humor-
Gus measures, wanted $500 for the dep
uty sheriff at Kipahulu.
Minister Smith-But there's no dep
uty sheriff there!
Rep. Hanuna-I know that, but l
want one. We will provide for the sal
AIRY and you provide the man. The only
modern convenience we have is a judge,
but We have no one TO prosecute the
cases, and no court TO try them in.
When man is arrested there the po-
liceman has to take him to his home
and stop over night because there's no
Jail. Then he takes him to Hama for a
hearing, and up to the time he is con-
victed he does nothing but trot back and
forth between Kipahulu and Hama. If
he is sentenced to hard labor, he is so
tired out with his travels that he is
unfit for work. About all Kipahulu has
besides a judge and a policeman is a
place on the map.
Motion failed to pass.
Pay of police, Maui, $31 900.
Passed at $4,000 on motion of Rep.
Salary of deputy sheriff, Lihue, ST.
900. Passed.
Salary of deputy sheriff, Kawaihou,
s., $50.
Minister Smith thought that as Ka-
loa had been reduced to $1,000, Hawai-
hou was really not worth any more.
Rep. Richards thought that as there
were so few arrests at Kawaihou, there
was hardly any use of paying an officer
81 $50 for the period
Rep. Kaeo opposed a decrease. You
cannot judge the moral status of a COM
by the number of arrests made.
The deputy at Kawaihou is a regular
terror to evil doors, and that, perhaps,
keeps down the arrests. Passed at ST.
$50.
