Report Of Judiciary Committee.
Honolulu. March 81 1900.
Hon. 5. b. Dole.
President. Council OF State.
ciary and Attorney Generals Depart
ments TO whom were referred certain
Items in Appropriation Acts and beg
leave TO report thereon as follows:
The reports Of these Departments for
the past biennial period have not yet
been printed, but We understand that
there has been an increase in police
work throughout the islands attribut-
IsTs ha To
ton. and particularly in Honolulu. to
an increase in the criminal element,
and. in the outer districts. 20 the i'm
DOrtatiOn OF Asiatic laborers. There
has also been more litigation in most
or the courts than during the previous
period. These are the general reasons
for asking for the additional sums in
the Departments referred 20. particular
reasons also appear for some Of the
items.
ACT ?.
Department OF the Judiciary.-Line
5. Expenses Supreme and Circuit
Courts 100000.
The amount OF this appropriation for
the past period was $4,000 The unex-
pended balance was over $4,000. The
reason for the increase as. particularly,
owing TO the fact that upon the organi-
ZatiOn of these Islands as a Territory
of the United States an entire new set
of process blanks will have TO be print
ed. We recommend that the item pass
Line 9. Purchase Of Law Books.
100000.
The standing amount of this item is
$1,000 and which. for the past period.
was entirely expended. This sum would
be inadequate for the ensuing two
years. so we recommend that the item
pass as in the bill.
Line 10. Stationery and Incidentals,
$4,000.
The last Legislature appropriated
$500 for this item IL was entirely ex-
pended and proved to be insufficient.
we recommend the increase.
Attorney Generals Department
Line 1S2. Support and Maintenance of
Prisoners. $4,000
The last appropriation was $50 600
and was all expended. The number
OF convicts during the coming period
will probably exceed that of the past.
and the expense OF maintaining them
will be greater by reason Of a rise In
the price Of food. We recommend the
passage OF this item.
Line 1S3. Incidentals. Civil and
Criminal Expenses. s10. 10000.
ihe last appropriation for this item
was $4,000 and was hardly adequate.
The incidentals Of the Police Depart-
ments throughout the Islands as we'll
rs those Of the Office Of the Attorney
General are paid out OF this item. We
recommend tat the item pass.
AIT
Department Of the Judiciary.-Line 9.
Salary OF Messenger, Clerks Office, HO-
noIulu, $4,000.
This Department has at present two
who also act as janitOrs of
the Court rooms, Judges Offices and
library. Additional help is needed, and
It is intended, should this apprOpria-
ion be made, to employ another mes
5enger. We recommend that The item
pass.
Line 10. Salaries Of Acting Circuit |
Judges, $1,000.
The Legislature Of 1898 passed a law
the appointment OF tempo |
-ary Circuit Judges in case OF the dis |
ability or absence Of a regular inCum-
bent. We believe that it was the in |
.entlOn OF the Legislature that, the |
temporary appointee should be paid |
from the salary of the Judge whose |
seat he filled but no provision was in |
serted in the Act to compel this course |
and there is no present appropriation |
from which an Acting Judge can be |
paid. As 1t has already become neces-
sary to make use Of said law and may |
become so again. we recommend that |
The item pass.
Lines y. IA. Is. 20 and %. Travel |
ling Expenses, Substitute District |
The law provides that in case Of the
temporary disqualification Of a Disiric-
some other person to act sor |
me time being may be appointed by the |
Circuit Judge.
1t IS usual in such cases to appoint |
TIE Magistrate of an adjoining District, |
20 act, but in any case IL the temporary
appointee resides at a distance from
the Court House travelling expenses are
necessarily incurred. There is at pres
ent no appropriation for their pay
ment We therefore recommend that |
the items pass.
