BIC FIGHT
In House
OVER DAM
OPPONENTS OF DAM SUCCEED IN
HOLDING JFF ACTION BUT FAIL
TO BLOCK PROJECT.

The matter of acting on the reports
of the Nuuanu dam committee occu-
pied most of the time of the morn
ing session in the House.
The debate was started by Kaleiopu
who moved to adopt the majority re.
port of the committee. He said that
it was but a formality inasmuch. as
the reports should have been discuss
ed before the appropriation was made
for the work
Sheldon and Rawlins talked long in
support of the report of the majority
in so far as it criticizes the manner
by which the work on the dam has
been prosecuted. but they did not be-
lieve that the Government could can
eel the contract with the present con-
tractor. as recommended by the re-
port
Rice declared that was point
which the Attorney General should
pass upon after the Legislature had
taken action. He said that he believ-
ed that the present contract can be
terminated when the present availa-
Bile funds amounting to only $31 900
is expended He wants q, new con-
tract to be let for the completion of
the dam at a given time. Under the
present system there is no assurance
how long it will take, and at tne
present rate it will be over two years
yet, without knowing how much mo-
ney it may take.
Pail said it was too late to bubble
over the matter inasmuch as like
blind monkeys the House went ahead
and voted $4,000 before it had de-
cided on how it should be used. He
moved that the Senate be asked to
return the bill, that it might be re-
considered
Kaleo and Kaleiopu made vehement
speeches on the matter and the latter
made a new motion, this time to table
the reports of the committee and re-
call the appropriation for continuing
the dam work.
Hughes for the first time raised
his voice in the matter. He said that
the majority report was supported by
facts on every point. The technical
objections raised against it he said
amounted to nothing.
Rawlins wanted two minutes to an
swer Hughes, but Correa objected and
a privilege motion being before the
House it was refused.
A vote to table the reports of the
committee failed by a majority of
one.
Kaleiopu moved to reconsider &C
ton on House 131 which carries the
$4,000 for the dam.
Sheldon objected to the motion. He
said that only an amendment to the
report of the committee making the
clause to cancel the contract read
IF possible" was needed to make it
acceptable.
A vote on the motion to reconsider
the appropriation bill failed to carry
by smallma jority.
A motion was then made to re-
submit the report to the committee
Ivy small majority
Kaleiopu moved to table the motion,
Pail moved to lay the matter over
until Monday.
Pali's motion prevailed.

given on Monday evening at Engleside
to Peter E. Tosh, by his friends of the
Epworth League society of which he is
most valued member. The affair had
been carefully arranged and Mr. Tosh
was completely off his guard when
lured to the scene of the festivities
about 8 o'clock, and he was almost
overwhelmed when met at the entrance
by about fifty young people and de-
corated with a profusion of leis and
led in as the guest of honor.
The. evening was J(most pleasantly
spent with games and music. Later
is the ewing Mr.. Tosh was presented
with a great variety of amusing re-
membranes of the occasion, including
huge birthday cake with some sixty
lighted candles. Mr.. Tosh is prob
ably not that many years of age, but
not being sure on this point a few ex-
ira candles were put on for good mea-
sure. The cake presented a brave APP
pearance but turned out to be composed
principally of saw dust.
Refreshments were served during
the evening, and at its close, Mr. Tosh
made a very neat little speech Of
thanks. The evening was most
pleasant one for everybody present.
