DEPARTMENTS MUST BE CHECK
ED UP.

ED Up.
The committee was severe in Its
comments on House Bill 1872, to appro-
pirate $4,000 for the completion OF the
Kalihiwaena school, recommending that
it be tabled because the Legislature
of 1905 appropriated $4,000, and those
in charge of the construction of this
work had seen fit to call for plans and
specifications for building, the cost
of which was far in excess of the ap-
preparation, and the committee did not
believe that the House should uphold
such a policy
Rice said that the work would only
cost $4,000 anyway and that before 1t
could be used the appropriation for
the next period would be available
81 believe there ought to be check
kept on the departments and the way
they spend the public money" he con-
| c1uded.
The report was adopted
NO TRANsLATOR'S FEES.
Fifteen thousand dollars, which
would go in fat fees for translators
/ to turn the Session Laws of 1905 and
1907 from English into Hawaiian, will
not be spent. The committee on Pub
| lie Expenditure asked for the tabling
of the bill which was promptly done.
The fact that it would never get
through anyway probably shut on
any debate. Joseph was the intro
Queer of the bill and Hughes the pock-
| ct vetoer. The original bill had been
presented to the House written in PEN
Gil on the back of an appeal TO electors
signed by Charley Achi.
