AALA PARK REPORT.
McCandless, from the Public Lands
Committee, reported on Senate rcsolu-
ton 3, as follows:
''The resolution relates t. the ac-
quiring by the government CT oddi-
tional land adjoining Aala Park for
charging the same. Your committee
find that it would cost about 100000
to acquire the land desired, and while
we feel the enlargement of this park
would materially benefit that section
of Honolulu, your committee believe it
unwise to recommend the expenditure
of any such sum for such purpose at
this time, and would recommend that
the resolution be laid on the table. ~
Achi set up a roar about the holding
back of the matter by the committee
and moved to return the report to the
chairman. Under the rule the COM
mittee should have reported within five
days.

only to special committees.

Elections on the committee, relating a
