HOUSE EXPENSE BILL.
Vice President Paris in the chair. The
Senate bill appropriating $4,000 for the
expenses of the House of Representa-
tives in the extra session came up in
order for third reading. On motion of
Senator Achi it was set aside and the
House bill OF the same tenor taken up.
Senator McCandless referred to the
fact that the original bill, vetoed by
the Governor, had been cut from $780,
900 to $4,000 by the Senate. That was
for both unpaid bills of the regular
sion. Now a bill was pending with

one under consideration restored the
House expense appropriations to s20,-

this bill be $4,000 and called for the

incidentals of the Tax bureau until
June 30, 1903, passed third reading by

THE BAND ATTACKED.
Senator Dickey presented a minority
report, signed by himself, of the spe-
cial committee to separate Territorial
from County items in the eighteen
months appropriation bill. 1t ap-
proved of the report of the majority
previously given so far as that went,
but recommended that the item of
81, 500 for incidentals Government band
be stricken out. The expense should
be borne by the County of Oahu, or
better still by the voluntary contribu-
tons of citizens of Honolulu. 1t was
held by the minority that the support
of the band should be in the same cat
egory as sprinkling the streets of Ho-
nolulu. etc, and as an attraction to
tourists it was on par with the cleo
trio cars. II request were made by
Souza's band for support from the
State of New York, it would raise
such a breeze that the proposition
would speedily be withdrawn.
On motion of Senator Isenberg, the
report was laid on the table to be con-
sidered with the bill
