Honolulu, 100000, the committee re-
commencing s527 ,623.75.
Mr.. Young opposed the increase and
in answer to Mr.. Achi's question IL
most of the money was not for the east
side of Nuuanu stream, went into par
ticulars to show that no discrimina-
ton was intended against any section
of the city.
Mr.. Achi was not satisfied with the
explanation and moved the item pass
as recommended by the committee.
Fix that Kalihi road, it's better than
to fix Young street." iLaughter.)He
did not believe the Government intend
ed doing anything west Of the stream.
Money was appropriated by the last
Legislature for the west side but moth
ing was done.
Mr.. Jones did not think 1t was wise
to spend 40 per cent of the entire ap-
preparation on the west side as Mr..
Achi wanted. He noticed side streets
lon, ha x..aa 81 IL. To-, G,,a ..t n
did not see where the money could be
put. The Minister said 5000 200 was
enough.
Mr.. Kennedy called attention to the
Minister'S statement that 1t would take
$37 900 for street, while the estimate
therefor was put down to 10000. What
was the use OF voting less than third
Of the amount needed to make street
good. The total of the Minister'S esti.
mate was 100000 and 1t would not
be far wrong to strike tn emedium of
S527,623 recommended by the commit
tee.
Mr.. Damon stated that the remain
ing unsold bonds amounted to but
100000 and no more could be issued
Answering question by Mr.. Gear. the
Minister gave some estimates Of prob
able revenue. Leaving out customs re-
ceipts he estimated that the internal
revenues would approximate SO, 500. 400.
Unissued bonds amounted to $4,000.
He counted on $191 900 from sixty days
more OF customs receipts. The Board
of Health had eaten into his plans, but
the general public had got the money.
Thus far the expenditure on account Of
plague suppression was $500, 900 exclus-
i've Of the crematory cost. Now the
March bills were coming In, which
would probably eat up another 100000.
The running expenses Of the Board.
outside of regular appropriations. was
now $1,000 day.
Mr.. Gear said he found the Increase
Of government revenue IN lS97-9S over
the previous period was Is per cent,
and the increase in the last period l25
per cent over 1S97-9S, and on the same
basis, including customs receipts. the
revenue two years hence might be
estimated at eleven or twelve million
dollars. He had not the figures with
him, but calculated that the increase
IN taxable property alone would very
nearly double within the next year.
He knew Of many cases where proper
ty has increased from 100 to 1000 per
cent in value the past year. IL tho
Nicaraguan canal was inaugurated, as
seemed probable, there would certainly
be great increase of value here. AL
ready, the last week, on the strength OF
favorable reports of the canal an in
creased value of property had been
noted. 1t was not the proper basis, in
iguring on the income for the coming
.wo years, to go on the increase of the
)ast. He was not over optimistic and
hey must act to a certain extent on
he past. If the>money was not forth
coming Of course it could not be used.
lie submitted that good roads had more
endency to increase values Of prop
rty than almost anything else. Every
lollar put into good roads would come
