AFTERNOON SESSION.
When the House met at 1880, Makai-
mai made verbal report for the com
mittee of finance. He said that the
cost of printing the journal would be
between $500 and $780, and he did
not feel for a certainty that the House
wished to expend such a sum. The re-
port was laid on the table for future
consideration.
The salaries of teachers was passed
as they stand at present. There was
considerable objection to this on the
part of MosSman, but it was carried
through almost unanimously. The sal
airy of the superintendent of the boys
school of the reform school was placed
at So, 600.
The position of matron for the
girls reform school and a teacher for
! the same, were referred 10 special
committee. Dickey said that the need
of a reform school for girls was one of
the crying necessities of the Islands.
The boys could be sent to an instltu-
ton expressly for them, but there was
no way of providing for Maynard girls
except to send them to prison.
Kaniho spoke in favor of establish
ing a school of reformatory nature
for girls. While it was true that a
law had not been passed to establish
itably inclined people in Honolulu who
were willing to build such a building.
The items in the bill had better not
be disturbed, he suggested. Dickey
also spoke along the same line.
The salary of the matron for the
girls school was made 81, 400, instead of
81, 500 The salary of the superInten-
dent of the boys reform school was
placed at the same figures.
The salaries of the teachers OF the
girls school was placed at $1,000. For
the boys school, So, 600. The guards
were appropriated $4,000.
Section 2 of the act providing for
appropriations for the succeeding bi-
ennial period was then read.
This portion of the act provides for
the appropriating of public funds. The
legislators wished to prevent the using
of public funds by the Territory In
discriminatory
Emmeluth, who had not ripped the
Territory up the back for forty-eight
hours, criticised the government mild
ly by saying that no matter what was
appropriated, the present regime would
run in debt.
Upon a vote, the amendment to make
the act read auditor" instead of
treasurer" was carried.
Emmeluth offered an amendment to
the appropriation act, Inat prevented
any person holding more than one Of
fee, should draw the salary OF but
one position.
Hoogs had a humorous spell, and
moved that the entire bill be passed
upon its present, the fifth reading.
Makekau said the measure under
discussion would conflict with the Gov
ernors remuneration. He was Cover
nor, and also head of the military, as
we'll Makekau continued further by
saying that it was dangerous to the
best interests of the country. Dfckey
said that many of the small offices In
the Territory were in the same con-
dition as Governor Dole. The light
houses all over Hawaii are given to
men, many of whom get two salaries.
Dickey suggested that it should be
only when one of the salaries was over
s1,S00, that the occupant of two posi-
lions should be prohibited from draw
ing more than one salary. Emmeluth's
amendment was lost, and Makekau
was happy.
The Treasury Department came in
for consideration next. This was the
fifth time that this department was be-
ing considered Makekau moved that
with the exception of the salary of the
treasurer, which be placed at $4,000,
