A MESSAGE
To the Legislature of the Territory of
Hawaii:
Act 50 of the Session Laws Of 1903,
entitled AN Act to regulate and Ii
cense insurance business in this Terri
tory" provides in the 14th section,
that the Insurance Commissioner
shall appoint a deputy, and in the alb
sence of the Commissioner or his in
ability from any cause to exercise the
office, the powers and duties of the Of
fee shall devolve on the deputy
AS no salary has been provided for
such deputy and no provision made for
the expenses of the office for account
books, blanks and stationery, 1 recon-
mend that items be inserted in the
proper appropriation bills covering
such needs, for the twenty-one
months from October LIST, 1903.
1 renew my suggestion for a statisti
cal bureau in the Department of the
Secretary of the Territory, and recon-
mend that items be inserted in the APP
preparation bills for salary of statisti-
clan and for the necessary expenses of
the office.
The public lands known as Pupukea
and Paumalu on the Island of Oahu are
suitable for settlement purposes. 1t is
necessary in order to make them
available for this use. that at least two
roads should be constructed leading up
the bluff into these lands from the line
of the railroad near the seashore.
/ recommend that an item be insert
ed in the appropriation bill for current
expenses or in the loan appropriations
for this object.
further recommend the appropria-
ton of funds for advertising on the
Mainland such public lands as may
from time to time be opened for settle
ment in Hawaii nei and for expenses
of agents to promote immigration from
the Mainland for the settlement there
Of
Also an appropriation for expense

sibilities of the soils Of public lands,
both by soil analysis and experimental
cultivation of different crops, with the
