THE SENATE.

The Senate yesterday passed the
loan bill on third reading, after de-
termined and not altogether unsuccess-
full attempt had been made to cut the
amount appropriated to the estimates
made by the special committee. The
fight upon the measure was begun in
the Woods effort to cut out the appro-
priation of $4,000 for the Heeia and
Kahaluu road. This was successful,
but not until after desperate fight on
the part of McCandless.
The vote was then about to come
on the bill, when Dowsett asked if the
other islands were not going to con-
preparations.
Gas it stands now," said Paris,
" Hawaii has $4,000 more than is call
ed for in the bill, Maui has $4,000,
Kauai $4,000 and Oahu $4,000 or
$4,000 more than is called for in the
committee reports.'
"The fact remains,' said Dowsett,
"that there are still several thousand
dollars above the committee report -
There was lot of discussion, and
Bishop moved to reduce the appropri-
alton for widening Nuuanu street from
$4,000 to $4,000. This carried, and
Oahu was the loser again.
This seemed to inspire Wilcox, who
moved to knock out the item of $500
for the repair of Waimea bridge. This
likewise carried.
Achi thought the government build
ings in outside districts should be cut
out.
Woods moved to cut the item of
$4,000 for new road in Kohala to
$4,000. This carried.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS CUT.
However, the Achi proposition to cut
out the public buildings on the islands
could not be escaped altogether, par
ticularly when Paris said he would
like to see Kauai and Maui get their
buildings, but they were for county
purposes and he had the best of reas-
ems for thinking tina. no money would
ever be borrowed to put up buildings
that were intended for the use of the
counties.
And then the cutting commenced.
The item for public building at Hilo
was cut from $4,000 to $4,000.
Paris moved to strike out the item
of $1,000 for l.rch road, Kealia to
Hookena. Carried.
On Dickey's motion, the Maui build
ing item was reduced from $4,000 to
$4,000, and the Maui school house item
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Wilcox moved the reduction of the
Kauai building item from $25,000 to
$4,000. Carried.
The item of the Waiohinu court
house was reduced from $4,000 to $4,000.
And now, at last, the vote came on
the passage of the bill and it passed,

killed. These are found in somewhat
damp cellars, facing north and are
recognizable with difficulty by those
not experts, but cover the ceilings by
thousands In the spring they leave
and lay their eggs in water. the larvae
producing mosquitoes within three to
four weeks. A supplemental effort will
be made to destroy the larvae. which
are found principally in stagnant,
shallow pools. These must be either
filled in or treated with malachite
green or other arvae-destroying sub
| stances.
For the present this process will
only be employed in that part OF the
city which suffers most from the mos
quito plague. If It proves successful
1t will be extended next year over the
whole city. Fighting mosquitoes will
be carried on in systematic manner
on scientific basis. Summer resorts
and watering places, especially. should
initiate the example set by Rreslau"
