many things in favor of the Young
Building and many against. l think
whatever we do should be unanimous.
NJ. a. Notwithstanding aside the
:, fact that the Territory needs a Fed
eial Building very badly, and suppos-
ing this building Is for sale, l favor
building a new building
A. Hocking-'I cannot see why our
not favoring tris building will keep
back any appropriation for Federal
Building, new one, or should make
any difference with the Perkins bill
I do not favor purchasing this build
ing"
NJ. Brasch-"I am opposed to the
purchase of the Young Building. I
think we should get the full benefit Of
the whole appropriation. This would
bring mechanics here; the Hawaiians
and the Portuguese would get work
md it would be a good thing for ~
merchants. If there is niger in the
fence in this proposition ii must be
the Alexander Young interests. II he
! is not patriotic enough. If he is defeat
ed, to help Honolulu get the apprGpria-
ton we ought to know it."
Capt. Soule-"I am strongly opposed
to the purchase of this building"
w. H. Smith--'"The erection of new
| building will put lot of money into
circulation and that's what We need"
| w. W. Harris-"I don't know just
were we stand. That cablegram from
Kuhio Is not specific enough. l ad-
wise referring this matter to a conn.,
mittee to cable to Kuhio and ask him
what he really means by his inquiry
! concerning the Young Building"
! John Soper supported Harris's views
| L. 3. Kerr-"I am in favor OF new
building
| j. A. Kenaedy-"I don't know what
| to say. There are three propositions
before us; the appropriation in Per
/ kins's bill of $1,4o0,000 is one. If there
is anything in that bill to oppose lei
us do so. IL not let us endorse 1t. Their
the Young Building is mentioned
There is no indication that any gov;
ernment official is predisposed to thi'
building. If this building is not suita-
BILE the architect will not pay any at
iention &c it, but Will select a site anu
put UP new building. AS to Kuhio's
cablegrnn there may be something In
Washington we don't know anything
about. If the people in Washington
find We are divided on the question
here we may not get an appropriation
at all. We don't want anything tc
Jeopardize our interests"
II. F. Wichman-"Mr. Kennedy ex
presses my views exactly. 1 10 no
tecl like condemning this building en-
tir"ly. There Is much in favor of pur
chasing 1t and much against it. W.
/ should conclude to leave this matte
to the architect from Washington. A
. to whether this building is suitable Il
: for the architect to decide"
]. F, Humburg-'1 am heartily II
accord with Mr.. Kenneiy's and Mr.
Wichman's views. I think it would b.
good idea to appoint a committee Il
confer with Kuhio by cable to ascer
, tain his reasons for cabling u.s."
Robert Catton-"If We take up tn
Kuhio cablegram we should say Ye
or No. I am in accord with the las
three speakers. We don't want to an
tagonize Senator Perkins or any othe
Senator. I would prefer, however. L
see new building erected"
i r. VI. Trent-"This is a magnjficen
building and an honor to Mr.. Younl
md credit to the city. / don't thin
. that because this building may not b
'7'e~ that We will not get an appro
nr'ation. I don't think this building 1
-'''t"ble. The cablegram indicate
n tNA~e may be a rider attached In tn
