Fifteen hundred dollars for Kalihi
street from Kaiulani to Kilohana. This
We consider is provided for by the
$4,000 already appropriated for Kalihi.
To widen Pauoa road $4,000. This
we recommend be inserted in the APP
preparation bill.
Extension of School street to Kane
hameha Fourth road, $4,000. We have
interviewed the Superintendent of
Public Works, who estimates the cost
at over SIS, 900. We do not recommend
this item at the present
Thirty thousand dollars for King
street and the roads in general around
the Island We consider this is cover
ed by the general appropriation for
roads In these districts, and the road
tax, which is very large in several Of
these districts. Item is covered by the
$4,000 appropriation for streets.
Five thousand dollars for all streets
at Kakaako we would recommend that
this amount be inserted for South
street, as the Bishop Estate has given
a free right of way provided this
street is extended within certain
time. There are no other government
streets at Kakaako.
Five thousand dollars for public
cemetery near Honolulu We would
/ recommend this item be inserted in
the appropriation bill, and also an item
of $4,000 for care of cemeteries in gen
eraI, as the cemetery at Makiki is
being washed out on one side, by the
water from the hills, and needs con-
crete wall to protect the graves.
f. After this item had been passed,
] several of the members adjourned to
, the lanai until the subject of the band
/ came up. DR.. Russell made a speech
against the appropriation. The -eXpa-
; triated subject of the Car Of all the
Russias made the oratorical effort of
his life. He asked that all the items
referring 20 the appropriation for the
band be stricken from the bill. When
| the man from Olaa sat down he had
| nothing to- comfort him but the for
! lorn thought that he had done his best
to earn his salary, and if vocal exer-
ton and arm-swinging amounted TO
anything, he certainly had no cause TO
complain. Neither had his constitu-

Achi Achi said that as a matter of
principle, the bills should be laid on
the table until such time as the com
rnittee had made a thorough and
painstaking analysis Of the various
matters II these persons had not been
recompensed, II was the plain duty of
the Territory to pay them back every
:. cent that was coming to them. It
: made no difference who the men were.
The matter was purely ethical one,
and the Senate should act from a de-
sire to do its duty to the rich and the
poor alike
This set Dr. Russell going once more.
|. He said that Achi was pulling wires
for his political friends. The health
committee had derived it's information
J; from the Board of Health, and that
was enough. Il was not their place te
go about hearing every little. petty
quarrel that might arise between tbs
different departments and private par

speaker from Hawaii openly asserted
that Achi was In collision with Har-
rison
After this. some more spelIbinding

cIared that he and Harrison were or
