Afternoon Session.
APPROPRIATIONS.


Senator Hayselden moved to strike
out the $4,000 for promotion and in
sert $4,000 He said the departments
had been crippled by the thoughtless
action of the Senators in cutting out
appropriations in one day and adding
new items in other days.
Senator Mccarthy opposed the mo-
ton saying it is for advertising pur-
poses and should be left at $4,000.
The amendment carried by vote of
Z to 5.
! Senator Coelho offered several
amendments. In the item incidentals
| of tax office, second division, the item
was raised from $500 to $4,000. The
incidentais tax office, fourth division,
| 5000 was added.
| NEW ITEM.
| To the item. in Board of Health, he
asked for $4,000, new buildings and
! improvements, Molokai. The motion
| carried.
| He asked, also. for $4,000 for main
| tenance of boys home Carried.
| Senator Mccarthy moved to increase
/ the item from $4,000 to $500 as it was
| in the bill originally. III his support
of the bill he read from a printed re-
| port an account of the work done by
| the pupils of the Hilo Boys Boarding
school. Following this the Senator
1 -
penses $4,000 back to $500 as it was
in the bill originally.
Senator Kalama opposed the last
suggestion. He said the teachers who
get the largest salary in the country
have house rent added while some of
the teachers who get thirty or forty
dollars a month for teaching have to
pay half of it for rent. He did not
believe the amount should be increas-
ed beyond $500. Senator Smith moved
to make it $4,000.
Senator Coelho objected, saying there
is nothing in the rules permitting
member to move an item after a vote
had been taken. The Smith amend
ment was lost.
The Kalama amendment making the
item $500 carried.
HE MILITIA.
The item of $7240 for National Guard
Senator Brown moved that it be divid-
ed SO that Hawaii and Maui would
each get $1200>and $4S4O for Oahu.
Senator Gandall, the silver tongued
from the land of the barons, opposed
for the reason that unless the item
was in a lump sum Kauai would not
have the aid of the military in time
rNf 4..yI i
ing the amount.
Senator Brown said the Senator
from Kauai evidently did not under
stand. The money is not for the pur-
pose of paying the expenses of the
militia in going from one part of the
Territory to the other but for the ex-
penses of the upkeep of the armories.
The motion was lost.
Senator Brown then moved that the
item of repairs to wharves and land
1ngs be increased from $40, 900 to s65 900
Carried
On a point of order Senator Coelho
remarked that, as no motion to amend
mad been offered, the Brown motion
to increase could not be put The
cha1r ruled the point well-taken and
senator Brown withdrew his motion.
Senator Dowsett had the item for
the Honolulu Water Works depart
ment reduced $4,000
TURNED DOWN.
Senator Brown asked for $4,000 for a |
retaining wall at Wailama stream, Hi |
10, but his request was denied.
Senator Mccarthy asked to have the |

stored to S29,500
Senator Gandal wanted TO know who
furnished the estimate for cost of re.
pairs and Senator Hewitt replied.
From the superintendent of Public
Instruction.
Senator GandalI. continuing. said he
had heard everything the superintend-
ent had said and he understood him to
refer to the inspector on Maui. We
have no information that he is a car
penter or that q competent man has
Furnished the estimates. He was in
favor Of appropriating for education
but when it came to appropriating for
repairs he would proceed carefully
Senator Hayselden favored the orig
nal sum and Senator Hewitt remarked
that [ was unfair to criticize the esti-
mate. It is the only appropriation
asked for where a detailed statement
Of the manner of expending the appro-
criation has been furnished
