proved the House action On the ST.

solution Of Kumalae providing 70" Sl.50

My objections are as follows:
ha
not necessary at the present time, there
| being now one good wharf there be-
longing to the government at which
ships can lie and another wharf being
under construction by the Hilo Rail-
road Company of a very large size,
which. by agreement with the Govern
ment will be open to the public.
LAS to the rest of the items object
ed to, it appears to me to be an I'M
sound policy for the Government to
borrow money for its running expenses
for repair work and for objects not of
a somewhat permanent character; for
instance, repairing and improving
roads already constructed, purchasing
road machinery, harness, wagons or
| horses.
las our successors fifteen years hence
will have to pay for this loan, it is just
to them that the work for which it
is expended should be lasting enough
to be of permanent, or at least of long
continued benefit to them.
II therefore return the said Act for
your reconsideration of the said items.
SANFORD B. DOLE,
Governor.
