not being conducive to the
public good, your committee feels that
the time has not yet arrived for the
abandonment of the steam tug and
submits that there is still great neces-
sity for its maintenance, and therefore
recommend this item be passed as In
the bill. The usefulness of the tug for
public purposes should be applied to
earnings which would show that the

without reserve. Messrs. Carter and
Achi objected to the item Roads ann

appended the following to the report
81 believe tn eitem ought to be divided
as follows:

There was a long discussion on this
report but 1t was finally adopted With
the exception Of item 4s1.
The following. report Of the special
committee appointed to look into the
police items OF this island and signed
by Messrs. Crabbe. Kalauokalani, Ma
kapaahu. White and Paris. was pre-.
sented by Mr.. Crabbe, and adopted:
Your special committee to whom
was referred the item of pay Of police
for the Island Of Oahu, amounting az
in the Appropriation bill to the sum
Of 100000 have taken considerable In
terest in the matter and have made a
thorough Investigation thereof, know
ing the importance OF the service and
the general misconception as to the
manner in which the appropriation Is
apportioned in this service, particular
ly on this island by the heads Of this
bureau.
The feeling that discrimination and
favoritism have been practiced dates
away back into monarchical times
While we do not say that this Is cor
rect, members Of the Legislature have
been appealed to by individual mem
bers Of the police corps and thus thu
matter of police pay is and has beer
taken up at each session of the Legis
lature, until now 1t is tacitly conSade'
that It is necessary for the good Of thu
service that the legislative powe'
should take part. even In the appor
tionment of the pay of the police Thi
Idea we have endeavored to carry OH
without trespassing upon what ma,
be properly deemed matters OF detail
belonging especially to the chief
that bureau.
With this idea in view we calle'
upon the High Sheriff and with hi
assistance gathered statistics an,
other information in order to carr,
out what your committee deems IL
duty in this matter.
Your committee was furnished witt
a number of typewriter copies of tn
pay roll from which the committe
has been enabled to act intelligentl
and on which the committee has base,
its recommendations.
| We find that nearly all the items &
the pay roll are fairly adjusted, an
that the whole amount is absolutel
necessary for the perfect working q
this portion of the police service. Al
extraneous service has been dispense
with and wherever possible improve
ments made lending to a complete or
ganization without weakening tb
,, force.
In view of the change in our form @
government and the large addition t
our population In the past two year
the service will need all the none
asked for. the same as in the last bl
ennial period. This is all the NOR
,, creditable to the heads of the Polio
Department, Notwithstanding tn
larger amount of work. and shows
desire to economize.
We find too. that the telegraph sys
TEN recommended for use In this 90
partment, will materially assist I'll
, force and to a certain extent explai
the reason who no larger approprii
ton is required than under ordinar
circumstances. To do away with a
possible misconception as to discrlu
: nation we have deemed 1t advisabl
to recommend the passage OF the itel
of 100000 for pay Of police of Oah'
and to insert the appended list in tn
, bill.
