County Government is delayed still the
work Of the Territory must go on. If
there is diversion of funds the officials
must answer to the people at the next
election. The money borrowed must
be spent where 1t Is directed by this
| House.
FERNANDEZ is RESPONSIBLE.
Fernandez continued that condemna-
ton of the Senate was ill-timed. He
said 1t was not a Senator who proposed
the word cor" but himself, and he took
all responsibility, for he knew that by
its use the appropriations would be ex
pended just where the Legislature di-
rected. He defended the Senate, said
that this course alone saved the bill,
| and called for everyone to support it.
The previous question being called
the vote was had there being twenty
seven ayes to two noes.
Lewis of Hilo and Paee voted no
and Kaniho and Oili in voting aye
said they did so TO the benefit of the
people. Their votes were received with
cheers.
The Coney Estate claim bill, with
Senate amendments was then passed
without dissenting vote.
