THE LEGISLATURE.

The lawmakers in both houses put in
Saturday forenoon in a most per-
functory way, and the afternoon at the
race track. The Senate inserted several
items in the Appropriation bill, which,
| by this time is beginning to resemble
thing of shreds and patches. The
lower House put the forenoon in con-
sidering the pay of the different deputy
sheriffs of the islands. Neither branch
of the Legislature was in good working
order, and the motion to adjourn at
| IL o'clock met with a hearty welcome
in both instances.
When the Senate met on Saturday
morning, Mr.. Achi called the attention
were several items that should be in
omitted. The major portion of the
morning was taken up with this work,
uninteresting in itself, but necessary
to the Home Rule ideas of proper Gov
eminent.
During the morning Senator Kalau-
okalani brought in a resolution asking
that $4,000 be appropriated for a road
in Nuuanu Valley. A similar petition
to appropriate the sum of $4,000 for a
road in Olaa. This, as we'll as the pre-
ceding one, passed the celebrating
body without any dissention on the part
of any of the members.
The Senate adjourned at twelve until
Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
Achi made a motion to have water
mains laid through the Fifth district.
