and this II was explained is too little
as the boxes cost 5000 each. Vida ar
gued for the amending of the sum at
$4,000 and Kaniho wanted the whole
stricken out. Kalama moved to make
it twenty-five boxes at $1,000. Chair
man Wright ruled out all amendments
not in writing so the question came on
the striking out, the only one so offered,
but it was lost. Keliinoi once more got
to the front with an amendment, pro-
yiding for the expenditure of the money
on Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, which
likewise failed and the consideration
was postponed until tomorrow.
When the item purchase patrol
wagon team. $780, was reached it was
explained that the item should be 5000
and the item was passed at that sum.

as passed in the morning was reconsid-
cred. Harris asked that the item go

ton, which was agreed to unanimously.

raised as to the interest and commits
sion item but it passed at 100000, as
did incidentals at $2.25O. The item for

Aylett supporting them, with the result
that the item was stricken out. De-
partmental expenses, $1,250. was at

failed and it passed as did 1915 for road
engineers travelling expenses.
Kumalae wanted to know where were
the Departmental stables and Harris
answered that he did not pose as an
encyclopedia and had simply submitted
a bill based on the Governors esti-
mates. The item of $3.50 for the stables
expense was deferred.
EXPOSITION ITEM GOES OVER.
When the St Louis Exposition item
came UP Beckley asked if the concur
