by Mr. Robinson, reported items 2lA
2lB and 2lC for expenses of Hawai-
ian Consulate. San Francisco. amount
ing to SIG unpaid bills for December
| and recommended they be inserted III
| the appropriation bill.
Moved by Robinson that the repor
| be laid on the table and taken up with
the appropriation bill. Carried.
Chairman Gear read the report of the
Committee on Interior Department
Act 3.
Isenberg moved the report be laid or
the table and considered in connection
with the bill. Carried.
Chairman Gear then read the com
mittee's report on Interior Department
covering items In Act 4. The chairman
moved that the report also be laid on
the table and taken up with the appro-
priation bill. Carried.
Under unfinished business, the Coun-
Gil then took up line Go, Act 2, Honolulu
Fire Department, $41, 464.
The committee report upon this item
was to increase it to $66,164.
Achi moved that the report of the
committee be amended by inserting Pa
lama for Kalihi where the word occurs
in the recommendation for a fire sta
ton in that district.
Jones did not see the use of the item
of $4,000 for hook and ladder truck,
stating that the big buildings are, or
ought to be, constructed SO the use of
ladders will not be required. 1T may
be am a little prejudiced against the
hook and ladder business" said he,
but some will remember that l was a
member of the volunteer hook and lad
der company organized here about for
ty years ago. Well, we were, of course,
always nrst at the feast, but made fiz-
zle of the fire. We had a banner pres
ented to us by some ladies as a mark
OF esteem for our valor. / was very
instrumental in getting the banner
presented to the boys. After that /
sent in my resignation, but nothing
was done with it and finally they expell-
ed me for non-payment OF dues There
fore. you max think l am little pref
udiced. 1t seems to me If we strike
out the item of $4,000, we will save
something. l move that this item pass
at 1864"
Mott: I'VE haven't got ladder fit to
put on hen-coop. / consider the nook
and ladder truck a necessity. / move
the adoption of the committees re-
port"
Robertson: 81 think know how
some money can be saved. If an
amendment Is made so that the item for
a new fire engine house for No. / will
read for Palama,' / think it would be
move in the right direction. There is
not Sufficient either, except in a few
fplaces, tor the mere attachment of a
hose to the hydrants, to reach any dis
lance. | therefore move an amendment
by striking out the item for a new sta
ton house and insert the $4,000 item
for Palama."
Isenberg: I'VE have in this bill, and
in bill No. 4, recommendations for i'm
provements in the water system. 1t
should be done. People are living in
Nuuanu valley who have to go four or
five days without water. A house burn
ed down there and when the engines
gotthere, there was not drop of water.
The government ought to pay for that
loss. We have got n chance to do
something now, so let's do 1t. / am in
favor of passing the bill according to
the committees report. The improve
ments in the water system include Nuu-
anu, Kalihi and Waikiki and am told
there will be pressure or 125 pounds,
enough to supply hose without an
engine"
Allen: Il would like to explain that
our object in recommending the three
hose carriages and accomplishments,
was this: We recommended one for
Nuuanu, one for kalihi or Palama and
one for Waikiki. The Water Commits
sioner assures us that with the new
pumping station at Kalihi and an addi-
be pressure enough to do the work of a
steam ARE engine. | consider these
three hose wagons and extra hydrants
very necessary"

tee, namely, $66, 1884, with the amend
ment proposed by Achi to change Ka-
lihi to Palama. Carried.
Robertson moved that line 81, Act 2,
repairs, furniture, etc, for govern
ment buildings, 81 900, be taken up.
Robertson renewed his amendment of
the preceding session to make the item

Jones moved the item pass as in the
bill.
President Dole put the original mo-
ton to strike the item out of the bill.
