IN THE HOUSE

IN THE HOUSE
At the opening of the session of the
House yesterday morning, Speaker
Beckley was once more in the chair.
The first business in order was the
reading of communication from
Superintendent of Public Works Cooper
putting the cost of the Nuuanu street
bridge at s15,O32.79 and the amount re-
quired to finish it at $4,000. In seeking
to have this referred to the Printing
Committee, Vida said that there was
an estimate on file in the office of the
Assistant Superintendent of Public
Works giving the cost of this bridge as
$40, O0O Under former administration
there had been expended $4,000 and un-
der this one $500 If they could make
no closer estimates than that, he
thought the Territory would better
of Public Works. Greenwich objected
to having the matter go to the Print
ing Committee, which would be eNpen-
sive, and Vida withdrew his n otion,
allowing the communicate to go on
the table to be taken up with the APP
preparation bill.
A letter was read from r. c. l.. Per-
kins inviting the Agricultural Commit
tee and any other members OF TIE
House who might want to go at noon
and see the lantana killing bug make
a killing. Many members awaited them
seves of the privilege at the noon re-
cess.
ALL CALLED TO ORDER.
The House took up and advanced on
the calendar a number of Senate bills
and while this was in progress several
members got restless, and went about
from place to place, and there was
buzz Of whispers, and so the Speaker
called the whole house to order, after
which there was quiet.
The Judiciary Committee reported
adversely on the bill to prohibit aliens
fishing in the waters of the Territory,
the report being a correction of one
1t went on the table.
The special conference committee on
the Emergency Appropriation bill sub
mitted a report showing that the meas
ure, as it had been finally agreed up
on, carried total of 1927 $40. The re-
port precipitated trouble at once, be-
cause many pet appropriations had
been knocked out by the conferees. Pa
ele said. for one, that appropriations
for most important roads had been en-
tirely eliminated from the bill, which
was in effect the Senate bill and not
the House bill, and moved that it be
referred back to the conference COM
mittee. Fernandez moved to reject the
report altogether, and then the Speak
properly certified by the clerk of the
conference committee.
KUPIHEA BREEZE.
The following came from Kupihea,
of the Committee on Public Lands,
about the oil tanks at Iwilei:
Your committee is of the opinion
that the said oil tanks are a menace to
the safety of persons and property in
that vicinity and also of the city of
Honolulu; that they are a danger to
the shipping and wharves in its harbor.

The Speaker asked if the commit
tee had ascertained from the Board of
Underwriters whether the presence of
the oil tanks had carried an increase
in the rates of insurance on property
in Iwilei. Kupihea said he had been
told that insurance had been taken off
since the tanks had been built there.
The report was finally laid on the ta-
BILE, to be taken up with any bill that
might hereafter be introduced on the
subject. Then the House took the noon
recess.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
AS the first business of the afternoon
session, the special committee on the
Pauoa water scheme made an extended
report in favor of the purchase of the
Pauoa springs for the sum of s25O,O0O.
This calls for bonds to meet the pro-
posed cost of the water right, and as
the Territory already owns portion of
the right, the amount so appropriated
would be $237,OOO. The report was sign
ed by Kumalae, Aylett, Pulaa Damien
and Kalama.
Kupihea moved that the report be
adopted, and there We're several sec
onds, but Harris got the floor to ask
that the matter go over for considera-
ton with the Appropriation bill. The
adoption of the report, he said would
carry with it an appropriation of $780,
900. While the committee might be sat
, isfied that this water right was worth
the sum asked, there was nothing in
the report to convince him of that fact,
nor to convince other members. He
read from the Territorial laws to show
that the officers of the government had
the right to develop water for Homo
lulu. The report did not show that the
Superintendent of Public Works and
the head of the Honolulu Water Works
had been consulted as to the acquisition
of these springs Under the law of
eminent domain, the government could
condemn and acquire this water sup
ply, If it were needed. More than that,
this committee gave no estimates of
the costs of mains and reservoirs for
taking care of this water. There was
absolutely nothing in the report to go
upon. What guaranty was there that
somebody would not come In, after the
purchase had been completed and ad-
vance a claim to this water under old
Hawaiian law? In his judgment, the
Superintendent of Public Works and
the chief of the Honolulu Water Works
should be consulted, asked to look into
the matter and give their judgment as

ture could act intelligently.
