follows:
Travelling Expenses, Inspector Gen.
eral, $500.
lnspectire Schools.
Minister Mott-Smith defended the
item against motion to strike cut
made by Mr.. lsenberg.
Mr. lsenberg said he knew It was
scarcely appropriate to consider the
person, but he regarded the incum-
DENTS inspection about as valuable as
would be inspection by the speaker
himself.
Minister Young supported tho item.
holding the person in the matter was
not for consideration.
Mr.. Gear said that he believed he was
responsible for having these items
placed In the original bill at last
Legislature. 1t was intended that Il
normal instructor was to 60 about,
staying IL need be some days at one
place. He would be in favor of adding
the amount Of this item to the next
item, that Of $500 for travelling e,pen-
SEES of the normal instructor.
The item passed.
Travelling expenses, Normal Instruc-
tor, $500. Passed.
Support of Public Schools, pay roll,
$150,000.
Minister Mott-Smith gave explana-
tons In answer to Mr.. Kane. The per-
manent appropriation was iijO,O0O. but
the pro rata from that was far short of
the increased growth of the schools.
Fully $40, O00a month was required now.
In asking the additional amount IL was
not intended to make any increase Of
salaries, although many teachers were
entitled TO raises unded the regula-
tons.
Mr.. Jones thought the increase Of the
too great. IL seemed to
mean $4,000 month more than was
required at the present moment.
Minister Mott-Smith explained tina,
the department was deprived of the
surplus 1t had husbanded, by the lapse
Of the biennial period. The present
expenditure of $4,000 month was
down to bedrock. In answer to Mr..
Gear he said no provision was made in
these bills for new 91'iVolhouses, fur
her, he had not considered new
'choolhouses as coming under the
character of emergency.
Mr.. Gear-They are not such a ne
,essity as the exhibit at Paris. Uaugh- |
err
The item passed.
Mr. Isenberg. seconding motion of |
Nr. Robertson to adjourn till Thurs
lay, expressed his sense OF RESPONSE
,ility as member of the committee
IN Interior items. They must not be
pushed, and they would render re-
bort that would satisfy the Council.
Mr.. Robertson had 10 intention,
when referring to that committee pre-
'iously, of making any reflections.
But, according to Secretary Hays dis
'atch, the appropriations now being
made would be void after the approval
4 the Hawaiian territorial bill.
President Dole said the territorial
ill would not go into effect for sixty
avs after approval.
Mr.. Robertson read Secretary Hays
elegram stating that the Council of
tate had power to make appropria-
ions until the passage Of the territor.
al bill by Congress, which the speaker
aid would be few days after April
Mr. Gear considered that from the
overs Of the Council of State confer
ed by the Hawaiian constitution they
ad no authority for passing the pres
mt appropriation bills, and in view OF
he fact that the letter received by the
linister of Foreign Affairs from Mr..
as published In the morning
aper, stated that the much talked Of
slegram had been written by the
hicial Delegate himself, he did not
elieve that the language OF said tele-
ram had any force whatever in grant
lg further powers to the Council OF
tate. Just before the passage of the
awaiian bill by the Senate an amend
ent was inserted giving to President
cKinley full power to make appro-
'iations for the Hawaiian Islands I'M
Legislature should convene. lie
elieved that President Mckinley, un-
n such power, would appropriate any
ems that might he recommended by
&c Executive Council and the Council
State. He therefore held that the
were not wasting their
me. and moved adiournmcnt till Fri
" afternoon.
This motion carried and the Council
journed at Sis.
