MONEY FOR HIGH SCHOOL.
The House then went into commit
tee Of the whole to consider once more
House bill 215, the governors appro-
priation bill, for various purposes, and
on which so little was accomplished
yesterday. 1t was evident that there
had been some outside discussion of
some of the items, and things moved
more smoothly than the day before.
The Kauai delegation had its way in
regard to the $1,000 item for Educa-
tional buildings on their, islands, and
the amount was diverted to wharves,
landing, and warehouses according to
their wishes.
The Nuuanu dam of $4,000, was on
motion of Rice cut out, as he stated
that this amount was not nearly suf-
ticient for the purpose of finishing the
dam, and the amount should be APP
troduced in the Senate.
Besides. as he pointed out the in
crease of other items had left but $59,-
617.96 in this item.
Kaleiopu moved that $56,117 90 of this
amount be appropriated for new High
School and the balance $4,000 go to COM
plete the Kalihiwaina school building.
This program appeared to be fully
understood and the amendments were
made accordingly.
The committee then arose and re-
ported progress and asked time to file
a written report.
PROFITS OF INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
House b. 242, providing for the dis
position of net profits from agricul-
tural and industrial pursuits of the La
hainaluna Seminary and Waialee Boys
Industrial school, by making them ap-
plicable for benefit of the school, came
up for a third reading
Rice opposed the bill on the grounds
that these schools had had appropria-
tions made for their support and now
at the 18th hour try to run through a
| bill to get more money. He didn't
think the system right or fair. Besides
| it was not the business way to do the
thing. All receipts should go through
the auditors and treasurers' depart
ments regardless of how they are de-
rived
| Pail supported the bill.
/ Waiwaiole also thought the bill
should be passed.
Hughes moved a novel amendment,
which was to make the profits of the
school to be distributed among the in
mates of the school upon their dis
charge at the rate of from 10 to 70 per
cent according to their good behavior
Kaleiopu objected to this on the
grounds that the two schools are not
of the same kind the Lahainaluna
school not being a penal institution.
This school should not have its profits
distributed according to good behavior
which might be all right with the re-
formatory. He moved that the amend
ments be tabled
Hughes explained that his idea was
that some provision should be made
for furnishing the inmates of the re-
form school with some incentive 10 re,
form as well as give then little
money with which to face the world on
their discharge.
