DisapprovaI for
-Four Unpaid
Bills.

Governor Dole's veto message on
various items in the unpaid bills meas
ure viii probably go to the LegisIa-
4ure some time today. Legislators with
pet schemes which were proviied for
in that bill. and who thought that it
had become a law without the Gov
ernor's signature will be a little dis
appointed for the ten days limit does
not expire until Tuesday. and the exec
utive still has two days to make his
objections known to the legislators.
The bill did not reach Governor Dole
until the afternoon Of June 10th. Two
Sundays and one holiday. Kamehameha
Day. are to be deducted from the ten
days. SO that the time limit does not
expire until June 2Srd or Tuesday. in
stead OF last Saturday as some of the
legislators had figured it out
The Governor is reported to be pre-
pairing a lengthy veto message upon
the bill. The bill as a whole is not to
be vetoed, but there will be objections
TO at least four of the items. 1t will
be remembered that the Senate con-
CURED in the Houses Increases without
objection. and the understanding in
some quarters at that time was that
the Governor might veto the objection
able items, and he would be sustained
by the upper body.
One OF the items coming in for the
executive veto is said TO be the allow
paiai he claims to have furnished the
Leper Settlement. The Board Of Health
refused to pay the amount because the
paiai had been shipped when it was
not ordered, and most of 1t was spoiled. !
The Senate rejected the claim upon the |
showing made by the Board of Health. |
With the House Kalua had less diff
hcseity and though the item was in
sSfed virtually as he asked, there were |
minority and majority reports upon the
matter. and the amount was not OBJ
tanned without a struggle The Gov
ernor has both legal and moral objec-
lions to the item, it is said.
Another objection is to the appro-
priation OF 1854 TO reimburse the police
officers on Hawaii. for money alleged
to have been taken out OF their salaries
by Sheriff Andrews for telephone rent.
There was a big fight on this item in
the House. but it was finally inserted.
Legally. IL is said, the money cannot
be paid to the officers. even though
the claim is just one. All OF them
signed vouchers for the full amounts OF
their salaries. and consequently can
not be reimbursed for something they
have received. according to the books OF
the Auditor.
Still third veto paragraph will be
upon the amount Of $500 for the pay
ment OF a salary to Rev. J. Manase for
his services in administering to the
spiritual wants Of the prisoners at the
Oahu Prison. Msnase. who is now the
chaplain for the House, was thought TO
be Iaboring for love and God during
the twenty months for which he now
asks twenty-five dollars a month. and
nOAappropriation had been made for a
salIaried chaplain.
Governor Dole viii also exercise his
veto power upon the award of $3.50
made to Mrs Kel<ie Amara, for loss
sustained by her during the plague fire.
