occupants OF the JducIary Bunding,
situated between said builulng and the
stables, are in a 1oul and insauIIary
condition, and nave been in sucn con-
dition FOR iong period of time;
And Whereas, II is the duty of the
officers OF the Territory to set good
and proper example to the citizens of
this Territory;
And Whereas, it is a well-known fact
that the health authorities have con-
, demned lavatories owned by individu-
ais whicn were not in so bad a condi-
! ton as these under the control of the
government;
Now, Therefore, Be it Resolved: That
the Senate Committee on Public Health
be and is hereby instructed to inquire
why the Board of Health has not con-
ries, and why. the Superintendent of
Public Works has not long since put
these lavatories in proper sanitary
condition.
Mr.. Carter offered a resolution pro-
viding for a proper fire proof vault for
the judiciary department. 1t was
referred to the Expenditures Commit
tee. 1t was as follows
| Whereas, all the probate proceedings
and records from the year 1850, involv-
ing title to a very large amount of
property, are now kept in an open
room in light wooden cupboards sub
ject, among other risks, to that of fire.
Now therefore, be it resolved, that
the Committee on Public Expenditure
be instructed to investigate and report
an estimate of the cost of a proper
fire proof vault with burglar proof
apartment sufficient for use of the Ju-
dietary department.
Senator Paris read the following re-
port:
Your Committee on Public Lands,
Public Works and Internal Improve
ments to whom was referred resolu-
tions II and 20, being estimates for
roads, bridges, streets and road dam
ages in South Hilo, beg leave to re-
port.
Your committee have carefully con-
sidered the same and although some of
the amounts asked for seem large, we
feel that Hilo is a growing town and
needs many improvements. 1t posses
ses a large back country which needs
roads to develop it and open it up for
settlement and it will be but a few
years that the cost will be returned
by increased values in taxes.
That many of the streets need ex-
tending and widening. This should be
done now as land values are increas-
ing and before brick and stone build
ingS are erected.
Your committee find a large portion
of these amounts are included in the
estimates of the Superintendent of
Public Works. We therefore recon-
mend that the items asked for be
granted, if there are sufficient funds
available without depriving other dis
tricts of their just portion of necessary
. improvements.
Mr.. Paris then read the following re.
port:
} Your Committee on Public Lands
Public Works and Internal Improve
ments to whom was referred resolu-
ton Is, asking certain amounts for
roads in North and South Kohala an6
North Kona, Hawaii, beg leave to re.
port.
Your committee have considered the
same and would recommend as follows
That $4,000 instead of ten be granted
for the road from Huehue, North 10.
hala, to Keahualono, South Kohala
The other amounts we would recon-
mend be inserted in the appropriation
, bill as in the resolution.
