q the bill If the county must buy the
: water, let the county make the deal
He referred to the varying values plac-
ed upon the water, from 81. 000. 900 to
$4,000. and said he thought the only
plan was to condemn the water rights
if they must be purchased. He said a
Pauoa valley man had told him how
that in 1887 the springs ran dry and
the banana and taro crops failed, ex-
cept those maintained by water from
a spring in the yard OF Mr.. Booth.
ALL TO HONOLULU
Chillingworth said he had serious
doubts as to passing such large
amount in the loan bill for Honolulu
alone. If Oahu got all that was asked.
then the country members should look
out for they would get nothing. He
said last summer there were many as
sault cases in the police court, growing
/ out of fights for water in the Pauoa
valley. taro patches. This was in July.
August and September Of last year,
and he asked where was the 100000
L /,
1 springs. He said the usual answer to
question as to the amount of water
was that it could be developed. He |
said on Maui, often where development |
was tried the entire supply was lost !;
as another outlet was created.
He endorsed Harris's argument that |
it was wrong to saddle the county of
Oahu with debt before the county |
act was clothed with full power. The !
motion to table was lost, with only sew
en- votes in the affirmative. and the roll
was called on the Kalama motion to
concur in the amendments of the SEN
ate. the bill being passed by the fol-
lowing vote: IT. -

Kupihea moved to table the bill, and !
xumalae seconded the motion. Kupi- =
lea said the reasons why he was OPP
posed to the bin was that any poor =,
,erson would have to secure the GER
ificate of title. Now a person could
ecure young Hawaiian to search the :,
ecords for SIS and under this bill the
ost would be about $50, and that
would mean a long delay, too. HIS
notion to table was lost, Is to Z.
SALARIES CUT DOWN. -
Kumalae moved to amend by making
he pay of the judge $4,000 Instead OF
1000 and that Of the registrar 81, 800
instead OF $4,000. Kumalae supported.
he amendment at length, citing the !.
act that the United States judges re- =
eived only $4,000, while judges under
his bin would not work so long. He
aid there was still uncertainty as to 60
he revenue from this source. and there
hould be no extravagant salaries.
Chillingworth said he could not agree Sc
hat a cheap man would be as well. Of
lie called attention to the work to be ST
one, and said the men who were tel
esponsible for the work must be of it
ign character. He showed that in WI
Massachusetts, the judge was paid
$500 and the assistant judge $4,000 pc

ote came on the BILL it being agreed to
