Honorable Body that they will do what
Is right and proper in the matter, and
from the report of the meeting held
and the statements therein contained,
that a ,ision will be reached salts
factory to all.
Respectfully submitted,
w. w. HARRIS.
Chairman.
Attached TO the report was a steno-
graphic report Of the meeting OF the
committee with Messrs. Cooper and
Campbell.
Vida Moves Adoption.
Mr.. Vids moved the adoption of the
majority report and Mr.. Harris imme.
dately arose to move that both re-
ports be considered together by the
House The majority report was an
injustice to the minority Of the com.
rrittee. II was also an injustice to
MIR. Campbell. 1t set forth that he
had made the statement that 1t was
necessary to put Bishop street in con.
dition for the opening of the Alexan.
der Young hotel. As a matter Of fact,
he had said nothing of the kind.
At this point, the speaker was inter.
ruptod by MIR. Vida, who stated that
MIR Campbell had made such a state.
ment although the stenographic notes,
made by Miss Dwight. did not show
such to be the case. Mr.. Harris in
sisted that air. Campbell had not
made such statement and Mr.. Vida
vas as inslstent on the side that the
remark had been made.
MIR. Harris continuing, said 1t was
not fair to brand a man with state
ment that he had never made. 1t was
also unjust to Mr.. Young, who was put
in the report in the light of having
connived with the Government. Here
was man who was entirely innocent
In the matter and yet he was virtually
accused in the report of the majority.
Mr.. Harris here presented vouchers
dated November of last year and jan
uary Of this year, which had been
signed by MIR. Cooper as Superinten-
dent of Public Works and Mr.. Dwight
as Road Supervisor. The stones mad
been secured at their instance. II there
we're any technicalities in the way, the
majority of the committee should &c
back to the fountain head and make
the accusations there. The Road Sup
ervisor at the time that the stones were
secured was the man to blame.
Mr.. Harris said that in place OF Mr.
Campbell diverting the money as had
been charged, he had really saved the
government money. There were only
twenty-six daysto run in the matter
of paving the Iwilei road and 1t was an
impossibility to attend to the worl
, within that time. Instead OF goint
ahead and ordering a lot of new stones
for the Fourth District, Mr. Campbell
had taken the stones that otherwise
would have gone to waste, and uset
, them on Bishop street. The fault will
, the whole thing was the lack OF sys
TEN in the carrying out OF the wori
OF the government and II there was t
be a reformation. there should be al
attack upon all OF the departments
One man should not be singled on
! when the whole system was wrong.
Mr.. Vida said that Mr.. Campbell hat
admitted his guilt and the only thin
to do was to adopt the report OF thu
majority of the committee. Their
were other things that could be cite'
against the Assistant Superintendent
of Public Works. The Legislature ha'
refused to pass an appropriation TO
the stables at the corner of Hotel AM
Miller streets and yet they were still
going. The money to keep up thes
private stables at the expense of tn
government was being obtained iron
the government electric light appro
priation. Mr.. Campbell was keepin
, his horse and carriage there.
AT this point the previous question
was moved Mr.. Harris wanted 4
. make an amendment to the report q
= the majority Of the committee but tn
, Speaker could not see the way cleaI
. Mr.. Harris said the report was unjus
! to Mr. Young. VINO coula not in an
way, defend himself in the matter.
