Senator Isenberg. In connection with
the band items. presented the follow
Ing report and joint resolution:
Honolulu, II. r., April 90, 1903.
Honorable Clarence Crabbe, Presi.
dent of the Senate.
"Sir:-Your special committee, to
whom was referred the resolution in
PRODUCED by Senator Isenberg In regard
TO the band, beg leave to report as fol-
lows:
They have looked carefully into the
matter and find there is a great deal
of dissatisfaction existing amongst the
members OF the band; that when the
band boys are actually sick not only is
the salary deducted but they are fined.
the bandmaster declares that no boy
need be sick. which idea the committee
thinks is ridiculous. When any OF the
band boys are actually sick, II only
sick for few days, we think that they
should receive their full salary. and il
they are sick say for twenty days OF
more, half Of their salary.
I'VE also recommend that whenever
the boys play steamers off they only
play half an hour. especially the island
steamers, as passengers very seldom
get there before half an hour of the
sailing Of the steamer; and we, there,
fore, recommend the passing of the
following joint resolution, which W.
attach to this report.
We further recommend that the
. amount OF $1,000 be put in the salary
