Governor, had an item OF @lOOu IN un-

preme Court stenographer, and had $500
reinserted under that head.

Improvements increased by $3.50 to pay

Achi moved to insert 1882 to pay a bill
of j. ID. Avery for services to the Coun-
ty Act Commission, which he said was
approved by Mr.. Cooper, chairman of
that body. McCandless seconded the
motion and it carried by nine votes.
The bill as amended passed third
reading, only Kalama voting no.
LOAN BILL COMMITTED.
The loan appropriations bill was
started on second reading, when Nc
Candless Interrupted with a motion to
refer it to a special committee Of one
member from each island.
Achi and Paris were in favor of going
ahead with the reading. Dickey and
mittee.
The motion carried and the president
appointed McCandless Of oahu, Hewitt
of Hawaii, Gandall of Kauai and Hay
seden of Maui.
On resumption of the bill for salaries
and pay rolls for the two years ending
June 30, 1907, McCandless moved to re-
insert salary of school agents, $5OOO,"
as recommended by the majority of Sc
lect committee. Hayselden repeated
what the superintendent had said to
him, that it was absolutely necessary to
have responsible persons to act as
school agents.
Kalama said many of the school
agents were such only in name. Many
of them never went inside a school
house. In Hama the deputy sheriff was
school agent and shifted it upon his
wife, but Mrs Wittrock had not enter
ed schoolhouse for fifteen years Mrs
Aiken was school agent in Makawao,
but her husband did the work. The
school principal at Lahaina was the
agent. Judge Mckay was drawing the
salary in Waikiki, while Mr.. WaIdey-
/ er was doing the work. c. Bolte, school
agent in Koolaupoko, Oahu, never en-
tered school house i'm that capacity.
Paris argued the Importance of hav-
! ing school property looked after. The
member from Maui ought to try to rec
tify the evils he mentioned. He had
not attempted to show that there was
not work for school agents.
McCandIes moved to restore the
Boys Industrial School teachers sal
airy to $4,000 as the special committee
and then he moved to make the item
/ pay roll support Of schools" 1854, 912,
as the same majority recommended.
Dickey moved to make it $50, OOO go
/ ing into details of margin over present
/ salary schedule.
Achi moved to divide the money be-
| tween the islands, as his minority re-
| port recommended, the total being the
same as that of the majority. This
! carried by 8 to 3.
Bishop, with an explanation from an
interview with the governor showing
that the object would not be affected,
moved to strike out the $1,000 salary of

Dowsett made a statement on behalf

I to extra work expected under the head

| Achi moved 81 a month, $24, saying
the governor had appointed the Secre-
tary to the office, who was getting $3.50
salary from the Federal government
and who had said he only wanted the
honor.
Bishop thought $50 a month for the
executive officer of the Board Of Imml-
| CRATIC nwas little enough. 1t would
| bring the secretary a lot of work, as
