VETO MESSAGE.
Governor carter sent the following
message, ana it was sustained on mo-
ton of Lane, only Achi and Brown
voting to override the veto of several
items named:
To the Legislature of the Territory of !
Hawaii:
Herewith, i return Senate Bill No. |
6, entitled "An Act making special APP
for the use o. the gov
eminent of the Territory of Hawaii to
pay the unpaid bills up to the first day
of July, A. ID. 1904. "
Items amounting to $10,667 43 came !
from the various departments and were !
presented to you. The bill as passed |
carries items amounting to $1S,364.l9 |
There has been considerable difficult |
ty in getting information, and in a
number of instances what information |
has been presented was exceedingly |
am unable to approve of the fol-
lowing items:
OF INTERNAL I'M |
PRovEMENTs.
!. Mrs, Kamakaheikuli, claim for
1862 square feet of land used for
road, Honokaa, Hamakua, $4,000.
This claim has never been presented |
to the Department of Public Works,
in which ;hfre is an preparation for !
road damages. Any small claim like
this, if on investigation it is found |
that the claimants title is good, can
easily be settled and paid for, as soon !
as proper deed has been executed |
and delivered.
3. John Lycurgus, claim 1908, !
$4,000.
House Resolution No. 22l, and re-
port on the same of April Goth, shows |,
that Mr.. Lycurgus built road 1900 |
feet long and 10 feet wide into his |
homestead lot, Kaumana, and it is |
claimed that this was done under !
promise of payment by the then SUI |
perintendert Of Public Works, James
II. Boyd. the report intimates that |
during my visit 70 the Island of Ha-
waii / had approved the claim, when
as matt'r {. tact ] saw the road and
met the claimant and expressed my
surprise that he should have been will
ing to advance any money on the sim
pie word of government official, when
it ought to be evident to every citizen
that the legislative functions of the |
government are separate and distinct /
from the executive functions, and that
no one connected with the latter can
bind the former. The road leads off |
from the government road to home.
stead lots Nos. 90 and 81. For a num-
Der of years the Territory has found
difficulty in securing sufficient reve-
nues to build the main arteries of
travel, and II has been in no position
to undertake work of this character.
If claims like this are paid, it sets an
unfortunate precedent, encouraging
employees OF the government and indi-
viduals to make agreements without
first securing the consideration and
consent of the Legislature.
