PURCHASE KAUNAKAKAI WHARF
"Your Committee on Public Lands,
Internal Improvements, Agricultural,
ETC., to which was referred Senate
Resolution No. A, beg leave to report:
"The object of the resolution is to
provide for an appropriation Of $4,000
for the purchase of the wharf at Kau.
nakakai.
"Your committee find that there is
being collected from the residents of
that section of the island of Molokal
two hundred dollars ($200) toll for the
landing OF freight.
1--WE do not believe that such a
condition should exist and that the
Territory should own all wharves, but
believe that the amount asked for is
too high and would recommend that
the item be inserted in the loan bill at
$4,000, which should include the wharf
and approaches and right of way
of twenty feet wide to the Govern
ment road
"With these amendments your com
mittee recommends that the item be

ANCHOR TO wINDwARD.
Dickey presented the following re.
port from the Judiciary Committee;
"Your Judiciary Committee, to which
was referred Senate Resolution No. 6,
begs leave to report:
"Your committee is of the opinion
that the County Law will stand the
test of the courts, but cannot say that
it will positively do so. Should the law
be decided to be unconstitutional it
would require a special session of the
Legislature to make appropriations
unless we do something to prevent it
before the close of this session.
"We therefore think that it is the
part of good judgment to appropriate
money which can be used by the Ter
ritory to carry out the work which we
have by the County Act arranged to
be done by the several counties, not,
however, to be available save in the
case of an adverse decision by the
courts on the County Act.
"We have therefore prepared bill
appropriating sums to be expended
only on that event, which we present
herewith. The items are based on the
appropriations made at the special SEES
sion of 1904, with some slight changes.
"We recommend that the resolution
be laid on the table and that the bill
be passed.
Bishop moved that the bill be refer
