My objections are as follows:
The wharf and landing at Hilo are
not necessary at the present time,
there being now one good wharf there
belonging to the government at which
ships can lie, and another wharf being
under construction by the Hilo Rail-
road Company of very large size,
which, by agreement with the Govern
ment will be open to the public.
AS to the rest of the items objected
to, It appears to me to be an unsound
policy for the Government to borrow
money for its running expenses for re-
pair 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.

to them that the work for which II is
