Continued from Page One.)

He wanted the salary fixed at 500
and won out.
Senator Woods moved to reconside
the item of the salary of the Count
Attorney of Hawaii reducing it t
$2400 This carried.
The committee rose at Has an
reported progress.
Senate Bills No. 9S, 90 and 100 wer

The Governor submitted a messag
regarding loan funds as follows;
LOAN FUND MESSAGE.
| THE attached statements show tina
on April 1, 1907, the cash balance Of
Loan Funds in the Treasury, less out
standing warrants, was 1891, As
Against this there are existing con-
tracts with sums to be expended be-
fore June so, 1907, amounting to 1885,
1879 so, leaving a. balance of $145, III. SO
Rather than proceed further with
the letting of contracts on those items
which are included in the Loan Act
and practically absorb the larger por-
ton of this balance, l prefer to sub
nit for, your consideration the accom-
panying bill, reappropriating $145, SO
out of any moneys which may be in
the treasury for or on account of Loan
Fund, all appropriations Hereunder to
lapse on June 80, 1909.
Every item for a public Improvement
in it is taken from the present Loan
Act, except that for the Agricultural
College buildings, this being the only
new project which l have considered
worthy Of insertion. All other items
are confined to the carrying out or
completion of projects for which the
loan was originally made.
The items for the waterworks and
pail road at the Leper Settlement can
be more advantageously undertaken
by day work than by contract.
The home for non-leprous male chill
dren of leprous parents has not been
built for the reason that the original
sum of $4,000 was insufficient. While
not informed as to the plans of the
President of the Board of Health, yet
believe that a very satisfactory home
can be built for $4,000.
Nuuanu reservoir must either be
completed, or abandoned at a great
loss; and while with the changes con-
templated $4,000 additional is not suf-
ficient, yet it is all the project is en-
titled to out of these funds.
A courthouse at Kailua and another
at Wailuku are absolute necessities,
and it is to be regretted that we have
not funds sufficient for more perma-
nent concrete or stone structures.
courthouse at Lihue, Kauai, does
not fall into the same class as those
mentioned, for Lihue has at least a
building which permits of court being
held in it, while at the other two
places mentioned, which are headquar-
ters for the Circuit Courts in their
respective districts, they are obliged
to borrow or rent such quaters as are
available.
Therefore, the greatest need on the
part of Kauai in projects of a perma-
nent nature is in educational buildings,
and bids for such a building are al
ready advertised for. But as the title
for the proposed school lot is not yet
available, it may be impossible to ac-
tually let the contract until after June
Both next.
The small item for the Waimea
was intended to be ex-
pended in necessary improvements to
that property.
Favorable consideration of this
at your hands will permit the
Territory to meet the most pressing
needs in each district, and provide
for the absorption of all the funds OBJ
tanned from the sale of those bonds
which have been approved by the
President. -. ,,p~s.

Of balances. Lack of space prevents
