| The subject of fish caused considera-
Bile interest among the native states
men. and they argued the matter for
half an hour or more. In concluding
the matter, the two positions were
transferred To the Department OF Pub
lie Works.
The pay of the assistant market
keeper was set at $3.50 for two years.
The salary of the superintendent OF

dent of the Koloa waterworks

of the superintendent of the water
works at Waimea be made $780,

pears as S4,0S0 in Governor Dole's esti
mate. The transfer was made and the
figures of the Territorial Governor re-
manned unchallenged
When 1t came to the ianitor. keeper
of the Capitol and judiciary grounds
and buildings Emmeluth objected to
the salary, which was set at $1,000. 1t
was ordered by the chair that the mat
ter go to a special committee for in
vestigation. The committee appointed
is composed of Dickey, Prendergast
and Emmeluth. They were instructed
to see just what the item really meant.
The salary of the Honolulu fire de-
partment was fixed at S72,2SO
The pay of the Hlo fire department
was passed at $500
The salary of four pilots, for the port
of Honolulu, was kept at $4,000, as or
iginallly suggested by Governor Dole. |
An attempt was made to reduce their
salaries to $4,000, but it was voted |
down, The payroll of the pilot boys
was referred to a special committee. |
The Governor has in his estimate, ap-
portioned $1,000. The pilot boys say
that they are paid 81 for every trip |
they make. When there are no Foreign |
boats. there are no dollars.
Prendergast moved that the question |
of pilots be reconsidered. He then |
moved to amend by suggesting that |
the number reduced to three, and their |
salary be reduced to $l4,400 This mo-
ton was argued, for and against. with !
considerable warmth. The amendment |
of Prendergast, to reduce the number |
of pilots, was lost, and the item, as |
it stood in the estimate originally sub
mitted to the House, was carried.
The House adjourned Immediately
this action, the hour OF Al
O'Clock having arrived.
