AFTER the Storm.
Mr.. Paele arose after the storm as
calm as a spring day and began an at.
tack on the proposition OF a new reser-
voir In Nuuanu. He stated that the
reservoirs up there now were never full
and that II was all the water In the
valley could do to fill the existing res
ervoirs Where on earth would the
water come from to I'LL an additional
reservoir It was a waste Of money to
appropriate $4,000 for the purpose.
The speaker closed his speech by nov
ing the adoption Of the minority re-
port.
/ kaniho, Continued.
Mr.. Kaniho made another fight
against the report. He repeated the
argument of Mr.. Paele and said that
he had come here to protect the inter-
ests OF the people. The building OF an
other reservoir in Nuuanu valley was
like throwing away money. The Chair
called the attention OF the member TO
the fact that he was not speaking on
the adoption or rejection OF the report.
Thereupon Mr.. Kaniho vecy calmly
told Mr.. Andrade that II he would take
care OF his end Of the work he would
see that his was attended to. rhe Ian
guage was very prettily corched and
Mr.. Andrade did not say anything but
allowed the speaker to go ahead, prCb-
ably figuring that this was The easiest
way out Of IT,
Another Way Around.
Mr.. Kumalae moved that the report
Of the majority Of the delegation he
adopted with the exception of The three
Items which had been obje,ted to. II
was pointed out to Mr.. Kunalae that
this was practically voting 10 adopt
the minority report.
As to Loose Change.
Mr.. Kalama wanted TO know what
would become OF the ss5, 900 in case the
minority report were adopted and Mr.
Beckley wanted to know II this was
notice on the part of the Oahu MEM
bers that they would give this amount
TO the other counties. Maui was per-
fectly willing to take the money and
he believed that Hawaii would not be
backward at all II there were any loose
change in sight.
Majority Report Adopted.
The minority report was finally
killed by an overwhelming vote. there
being only six votes for Il. The ma
jority report was thereupon adopted.
The committee thereupon arose and
reported in favor of the passage of the
bill. The report was accepted and the
bill passed second reading.
Another Storm.
A motion to take n recess until Z
O'Clock was made by Mr. Kaniho. This
was put and lost. A motion was then
made to adjourn until the usual time
today but the Chair declared the mo-
ton out OF order on the ground that
there had been no intervening bust
ness. Mr.. Harris called the attention
OF the Speaker to the fact that the mo-
ton which was lost was one to take
a recess but Mr.. Beckley ruled that
: this was equivalent to a motion to ad-
journ.
The Speaker thereupon declared the
House in Committee OF the Whole for
the consideration OF the six months
salaries bill. Mr.. Greenwell took the
chair. He Immediately called for re-
Q ports from special committees. There
was no response and Mr.. Harris moved
that the committee rise, report prog
ress and ask leave to sit again.
Refused to Take Chair.
This carried but when II came up 10
' Mr.. Beckley, he refused to take the
chair and ordered Greenwell back TO
0 the chair saying that II he refused to
do so, his seat as Speaker Of the House
: was vacant. There had been no bust
: ness transacted. Mr.. Greenwell went
e hack to the chair and stated that he
d had called for reports but there had
0 been none and SO he had entertained
motion to rise and report. Mr.. Ku.
I malae here questioned the right OF the
u chairman to sit after the committee
r had voted to rise and report.
The committee proceeded with the
: adoption Of some OF the reports that
T had been made ready In the shuttle and
: then at little after $3.50 o'clock. the
p committee arose, reported progress and
v asked leave to sit again. The report
