SENATE.
Twenty-sixth Day.


Senator Baldwin, on the resumption
of consideration of the Appropriation
Bill at the Department OF Public
Lands, made remarks in substance as .
follows: He thought the Senate had
made blunder in setting out TO make
the appropriations for only six months.
His plan would be to pass the salaries
for the whole of the biennial period,
inserting a provision at the last to the
effect that when the County Bill went
into eueCt the salaries for certain Off
Ces would cease while those for others
went on. Similarly, with regard to ap-
preparations for the several depart
ments, the appropriations might as
well be made for the whole period, as
was in fact being done with certain
items from their very nature.
Senator Paris though, It as broad as |
1t was long so far as saving of time |
was concerned.
Senator MCCandless seconded the
opinion Of Senator Baldwin, saying ne
had held thus from the beginning. The !,
process under way involved going over
the whole work again to apportion
items for the Territorial government
which should be for the biennial per- |
iod.
Senator Brown suggested for the rest
Of the reading that the full amounts
be appropriated by amending the COM
mittee's items of one-fourth to the
amounts in the original bill. This was
adopted and the second reading of the
bill proceeded.

ment passed without amendment.
Senator Brown moved to refer the

tee. II was passed over until the dep
uty clerk could find the document.
Steamer for Board of Health at $685.
900 and running expenses of steamer
at $4,000 caused a discussion.
Senator J. r. Brown wanted to know
what steamer and President Crabbe
said s3j, 900 would not buy any kind
of a steamer.
Senator DiCkey said never mind,
some kind of steamer was required.
II was very awkward MS II was He
lynlI aI E.V. Lao
ton to strike out the items, which when
done showed his own vote the only no
against IL ayes.
On the item of $50. coo for addition to
Malulani Hospital building and its
equipment, Senator Baldwin thought 1t
should be for n new building and go
in the Loan Bill.
Put the steamer in the Loan bill
to-" Senator Dickey said.
IF you make It $4,000 IN be with
you" President Crabbe responded.
Senator Cecil Brown said let II pass
now. to which Senator Baldwin as
| scented, and the hospital item passed.
The Military.
Senator Cecil Brown thought $3.50
ought to be sufficient for uniforms for
| enlisted men, inCidentals, etc. instead
OF $4,000.
Senator McCandless spoke of tho
young men giving their time to the
militia service. He thought $4,000
would not go very far with $50 men.

| ton to an uneXpendcd balance for last
period, to which the speaker replied
that II was expected more man would
enlist
| President Crabbe referred TO the eX-
istence of companies in Hilo and Wal

pected to have companies. They had
all seen the drill lately, which United
States Army officers said could be sur.

waiian boys.

was read a third time. Senator c.
Brown explained. in answer to Senator
DIckey, that the only change from the
