AFTERNOON SESSION.
The payroll Of the pilot boat boys
was the first item for the afternoon.
Dickey moved that the sum of $4,000
be appropriated for that purpose. He
said that the idea OF paying the pilot
boat boys by the month had never en-
tered their heads until the matter was
preached to them by members of the
House.
Mossman said II the gentleman from
Maui was employed as boat boy he
would want 800 a month Dickey
agreed with him.
Emmeluth said this appropriation

Makekau said the speaker had allow

thus opening an avenue for countless
changes.
The commissioner of public lands was
the next candidate for an amendment
from $1,000 to $1,000. The amendment
just mentioned wanted it back again.
Beckley made the motion.
Mossman grew figurative in his
speech. He said that If a good man
were to be secured, it would take $1,000
to obtain him. 1t was like cutting the
head off n fish. and expecting the tail
to live. To reduce the salary would
be equivalent to cutting off the head
OF the fish. The department would
languish unless an excellent man was
secured. The motion to reduce the
salary to $1,000 was lost. Dickey NOV

The motion was lost,
