Mr.. Achi was inclined to question
the legality of the action despite the
opinion of the Attorney General. He
wanted the message and opinion plac-
ed in the hands of the Judiciary Com
mittee. 81 think if my friend Senator
Brown says it Is a good thing | am
willing to let it go at that" concluded
Mr. Achi.
Mr.. Kalauokalani declared there ap-
peared some doubt regarding the opin
ion of the Attorney General. He ad
vocated submitting the message to-the
Judiciary department, besides secur
ing a written opinion from Attorney
General Dole. addressed to the Sen

to Judiciary Committee.

of the members of said committee II
regard to the item of 100000 as Il
| in the bill as a payroll for support o

/ AS for the third item in the list
salary OF four normal inspectors q
$4,000. total of $4,000. and the las
| item of school agents. $4,000. tn
| minority recommends that this las
item be stricken out and the Office
of school agents be dispensed wit
and transferred upon normal inspet
tors, who in nv opinion can do tina
work more satisfactorily and wlthou
| any prejudice to thei rother duties
I also recommend that another norma
inspector be allowed to lne large Is
and OF Hawaii, since that island ha
the largest number of school childre
scattered upon very large area an
the service of one inspector never ca
be so effective as in the other island
with a smaller number OF children an
smaller area. The minority recon
mends that the third item be rea
thus:
| Salary of FIVE Normal Inspector
and School Agents at $4,000. sso.00i
And that an additional item next
this be inserted. Wig: Travelling e,
penses OF five Normal Inspectors q
81 600 each. $1,000.
The minority further recommend
that the item first should stand a
already passed BY the Senate an
that an additional new item OF s1.1ss
50 for the payment OF back salarfe
due TO teachers be inserted.
In respect to the items of the r
form school the minority agrees wit
