THE SENATOR'S REPLY.
Honolulu, T. H., December l6. 1905.
Hon. George Il. Carter. Governor of
the Territory Of Hawaii, Homo.
lulu, Oahu.
Dear Sir; Your communication of
the 9th inst. was received by me on
December 18th. In reply TO the same
/ would ask you TO please note that
the amounts petitioned for by the sew.
eral districts correspond with the
items appropriated for such districts
by the Legislature and approved by
the Governor.
Your superstition ms to what the
character of the petitions might be
does not alter the same. Your remaik
that every resident of any district
desires to have money expended in his
district and is perfectly willing to sign
petition therefor is wholly inappli.
cable to this case. The people are ask.
ing the Executive for the appropria-
tions with which TO carry out the i'm.
provements in their several districts
appropriations secured for them by
their representatives in the Legisla-
ture, and are taxpayers as you and
are taxpayers. We have every reason
to believe that they realize the respon-
sibility of the Territory's indebtedness
and its ability to pay as did the Leg.
islature when the Loan Bill was au.
thorized or as did the Executive when
he recommended by message to the
Legislature a loan of 81, l00,O000O.
