The Hawaiian gazette., 1905-03-14

members of such committee to be NC
Candless, Achi, Kalama, Brown and
Gandall.
And at that the thing was not done
without something of struggle on the
floor. What the House win do to the
re solution remains to be seen, but this
Molokai junket is the particular JOY
and pride of Mr.. Coelho of Maui, who
is a member Of the House Health Com
mittee and who was going to make the
junket a free thing for everybody, in
despite of the Board of Health, before
, he found out that he would thereby
place himself in some danger of run
, ming afoul of the Federal Court. When
that condition was disclosed, the House
Committee concluded to let the Senate
Health Committee have something to
say.
The matter came up in the Senate
yesterday on the report from McCand
less of the special committee appoint
ed on Thursday to see the manager
of the Wilder Steamship Company as
to what terms could be made for a
steamer to take the legislators to the
settlement on the biennial junket,
| leaving the outsiders out of the ques-
| ton. McCandless reported that the
company had made a very favorable
| offer, but said that the committee had
not felt at liberty to close a contract,
and so submitted a report accompanied
| by the letter of Manager Wight of the
, Steamship Company. The terms con-
tanned in the letter were:
LIBERAL OFFER.
| An offer of the Kinau, to transport
not more than so persons, including
members of the Legislature, Board of
Health. the press and the band, for
$3.50.
Or, an offer of the Likelike, with
band, for 800.
For all others who go on either
steamer full deck fare. SO each for the
round trip shall be charged.
Whatever steamer goes will leave
Honolulu at 10 p. m. on Saturday
March IS, returning will sail from Ka-
laupapa on March 10 at p. m.
| With the report, after it had been
placed on file. McCandless presented
! a resolution for the appointment of
the joint committee of five from each
/ house to have entire charge of the
junket. The mover of the resolution
thought that this was far and away the
best method of reaching the matter.
| And to insult your own Health
Committee, which has already taken
this matter up. and reported on it,"
said Achi. II move you that this reso-
luton be laid on the table"
The motion was lost on a rising vote,
and Dickey moved to amend the reso-
luton by authorizing the committee
to make arrangements to pay only the
fare of members and attaches of the
Senate.
And the band" exclaimed several
members at once.
'oh, of course, the band" said Dick
ey. graciously.
And the press" said McCandless
and Achi together.
Why" complained Dickey, "I sup
pose the members of the press can pay
their own way. If they want to-" Never
theless. he consented to amend his
amendment so as to take In all these
classes left out in the first place
; Then McCandless thought that men,
bers of the Board of Health should be
included also, and Dickey likewise al
lowed that.
| Now, is 1t intended that nobody else
shall go?" asked Dowsett.
Not at ALL" said Achi. ANYBODY
can go who can get permit from the
Board of Health and who will consent
to stay In the corral"
| With this understanding the resolu-
tion went throush-and so it is up to
the House.
