school agents, $4,000. Total, s415, 900.
Report laid on the table, to be con
sidered with the bill.
Rep. Robertson reported for the Mil
itary Committee, to whom was referred
the item in the Appropriation bill fol
salaries and pay-rolls regarding
Support Of the Military, Pay Rolls
$4,000.
considerable economy has of late
bean displayed in the matter of mill
tary expenditures, and a material re-
duction in the cost of maintaining the
force has been made, without in any
manner impairing it's efficiency. We
feel confident that as the conditions
warrant it, further changes will be
made, with the probable result that at
the end of the biennial period a large
balance of this appropriation will re-
main unexpended. But we do not
think it wise to cut down the appropria-
ton, lest occasion may arise requiring
an increased expenditure.
Confidence in Minister Cooper.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and believ-
ing that he will expend no more of the
appropriation than he deems necessa-
ry, we think that the item should pass
and that the matter Of its expenditure
be left TO his discretion.
I'VE recommend that the item pass
as in the bill"
Report laid on the table, TO be CON
sidered with the matter when brought
up.

Page 10, Line 22-Pay of Police,
Hawaii, $40, 500.
Your committee find upon examina-
ton that the amount asked for is but
very little more than the average ex-
penditure, and as future requirements
will certainly be as much, if not more,
than has been required in the past,
we recommend passage OF the item as
in the bill.
Page IL, Line 2S-Pay of Police,
Maui, $31 900. i
This is the same amount as was ap-
last period, and apparently {
Is as small an amount as should be ap-
Dropriated for policing that island.
