THE SENATE
FIFTY- SIXTH DAY.
Holloway was further questioned

extension of the wharf system at Hilo !
to be the third most important.
He said that the item of $4,000 was |
sufficient to finish the Nuuanu dam. In |
response to a question by Chilling |
worth, Holloway said that it would be
difficult to state whether the item of |
$4,000 would be sufficient to complete |
the dam ACCORDING to Schuyler's re-
concentrations, if the present contract |
were cancelled, new specifications made
and new bids called for He express |
ed the opinion that the present con-
tractor would be in a position to make
lower bid than most any one else
as he had his work camp installed and
this was worth at least $4,000 or more.
The contractor is putting the con-
crete core wall back. The Territory is
not paying for that 1t was the con-
tractors fault the wall had been dam
aged. Holloway was after rome ques-
tions excused
Bishop moved that the following items
be reinserted in the bill $4,000 for shed
at wharf No. 2; $4,000 for iron mains.
! Knudsen said that the question was
whether the Territory should appro-
pirate more than $4,000 of a new loan
fund. Smith said that he considered
the completion of the Nuuanu dam
necessary. Dowsett felt so too. The
latter also contended that the wharf
should be completed. as it would mean
the completion of a revenue producing
proposition.
Gothic said that Maui was in favor
of the revenue producing Improvement
| to be completed. But Maui did not
care to see money wasted as it had been
without doubt on the Nuuanu dam.
The motion to insert the $4,000 item
then passed. Bishop then moved that
the item of $4,000 for the extension of
the wharf system at Hno be inserted.
Dowsett offered an amendment making
it $4,000. This motion carried
Dowsett suggested that the Maui peo-
pie move to insert some item. There
was none in The bill.
Kalama said that they would listen
to the voice of the people and as the
Territory was running into debt Maui
would not ask for any item.
I'VE would get it in the neck if we
did" declared Coelho.
Hayselden wanted to secure an item
for a hospital on Maui but he did not
make a motion to this effect.
Smith wanted to put in items for the
Improvement of the Kilauea slip and
the Improvement of wharf No. 1. Bishop
opposed it.
Hayselden suggested that it might
be a good investment for the Territory
to purchase the railroad wharves.
Smith said it would cost million
J and half. He opposed the measure.
Hayselden did not put his motion.
Dowsett bucked any more items be-
) ing put in,
} Smith renewed his motion about COM
} pleting the extensive improvements for
accommodating the big vessels and
/, great commerce that was bound to
come.
Kalama supported the motion. But
! it was bitter pill to swallow. Knud-
sen said that that he did not see how
this thing came cropping. up every
session. At the last session 5000, 900
for wharf extension in Honolulu was
appropriated. They We're assured that
this was all the money that would be
needed but now they wanted 100000
more.
Smith threw up to Knudsen that the
Kauai people had come in last session
for an appropriation of $4,000 for Wal
mea wharf and this session they want
ed $12O 900 more.
Knudsen said he would swap the $12,-
600 with the oahu item.
Hayselden wanted to know what as
surance they would have if they APP
propriated the money for these wharves
that the work would be completed.
Smiths motion was voted down after
the talkfest had continued some time
longer during the course of which Sen
ator Bishop said that Smith talked so
much that he took the words out of
his mouth
Woods had an item of $1,000 for the
extension Of the Kamuela water works
inserted
Smith tried unsuccessfully to have
$4,000 for the installation of oil fuel
apparatus at Kalihi and KaimulHi
pumping stations.
Knudsen then had the bill amended
so that the money appropriated under
the bill could not be taken from any
unpaid loan fund but would have to
be taken from new loan fund entire
ly.
The total amount of the money APP
proprated under the bill today was
Sl9SO5,O, Instead OF 100000 as original
ly intended, all of the original items
with tho exception Of the Nuuanu dam
completion, having been stricken out
