Supt. Holloway submitted voluminous
correspondence respecting the Pahala-
Volcano House road with a statement
showing the payments made 20 the
contractors Benton & Arioli and the
amounts reserved on these payments
until final completion OF the work.

would undertake the work at the figure
named, and it would cost the govern
ment considerably more If given out at
day labor.

The Senate returned the Houses Bill
No. 1856 relating to Club licenses,
amended
As passed by the House the bill pro-
vided for tax of 5000 annually on
clubs which furnish meals and liquors
to. members and guests. The Senate's
first amendment provided for the fur
nishing of meals and liquors or Of
liquors alone. It's second amendmert
, ran thus:
THE payment of said tax shall be
r held to entitle any genuine bona fide
social club in which the furnishing of
; Intoxicating liquors is incidental to its
main object and purpose and which is
not formed directly or indirectly for
evading or defeating the purpose of the
y general license laws of the Territory, to
d distribute meals and Intoxicating
S liquors amongst it's members and their
l. guests without the payment of any
l. other tax or license fee; provided, that
l. the payment thereof shall not be held
n to exempt such club from the payment
n of taxes on its property"
# Nakuina objected to the suggestion
: that clubs should be allowed to serve
n liquors to members at any time other
/ than when feeding. He was plainly OF
y the idea that any club member who
y happens to want a drink should &C
through full course dinner from souI
i to nuts.
d On his motion the Senate amend.
lie ments were not cOncurred in.
