Senator Kanuha then proposed, as

The Judiciary Committee, to whom was
referred the items in the Appropriation
Flin under the head of judiciary Depart
rnent. commencing with item $50 and end
ing with item 400, reported as follows:
GleIn OSU tNptllStS VI supreme anu va
.auit Courts to include pay of Grand Jur'
ors at the same rate as trial Jurors. $780,,
800. We recommend it be stricken out, ant
the following items be inserted in It's
place:
Expenses Supreme Court, $500; sup
plies and incidentals for all courts to be
expended under the direction of the CLERK
10 she Judiciary Department, $500; eX
roenses Circuit Court, First Circuit. sl5.'
800 expenses Circuit Court. Second Cir
suit S. 600; expenses Circuit Court, Thirc
Circuit, $4,000; expenses Circuit Court
Fourth Circuit, $1,000; expenses Circuit
Court, Fifth Circuit, $1,000: making a TO-
-aa sum of SIS, 900; being 5000 more thar
asked for. The reason OF the increase
Is that the change in our jury system
ard the inauSurating OF the Grand jury
mas increased the expenses of all Circuit
Courts. The expenses of the last May
term of the Circuit Court of the First
Circuit were in the neighborhood OF a.
80 and as there are four terms year
Zhe estimate is based upon the cast Of
rhat term. Upon the suggestion OF the
Chief Justice, the expenses of each
Circuit Court for the other circuits hav,
each been set apart for the reason thai
zach Judge will then know what sum OF
money is set apart for the expenses OF
mis- circuit. Heretofore the expenses
nave all been taken out of the lump APP
preparation, and each Circuit Judge was
notified by the clerk of the Judiciary De-
roartment how much OF such lump appro-
priation was to be used by him. The sums
recommended are expected to be sufii-
-cient, and are based upon data and the
expenses OF the different circuits, receiv-
"a since the Grand Jury system has
been in practice in the Territory.
ghag nf In hooks l.
creme Court, we recommend pass as in
she bill.
Item 1888, purchase OF law books for
other circuits. we recommend pass at
$500 the same as heretofore allowed for
that purpose.
Item 3S5 We recommend pass as in the
dill.
Item 3s6 compiling and publishing d.
.gest Hawaiian Reports. We recommend
zoe stricken out for economy's sake, and
for the further reason that II Is not
necessary nor needed work at the
present time.
Item $751; we recommend be changed 70
read Stationery incldentals and travel
ing expenses of District Magistrates,
5000"
BY doing this, items SSS. sol. 3s4, Ss7,
Ses and iOl can all be stricken out at a
saving OF some 800.
Items $50. 1913 and 500 We recommend
pass as in the bill. The money here APP
propriated is used by the Judges OF the
several circuits In paying the travelling
and other expenses caused by holding OF
zhe terms OF court in different places OF
such circuits, and away from the perma-
aent residence OF such court
We therefore recommend that this re-
port FOR the reaEons above set forth be
