rounded up Sheldon, the ~1ntroducer, and
produce him in the House.
SECOND READING.
House Bill 243, confirming the reso-
luton of the Hawaii supervisors to
float a bond issue of $4,000, passed
second reading without debate or OPP
position and House Bill PA, the last
bill to be introduced in the House this
session, also slid through. This last
bill allows the Superintendent of Pub
lic Lands to grant an additional home
stead lot to any land holding to allow
the holder to live off his agricultural
land.
HONOLULU GETS HIGH SCHOOL.
The House went into committee of
the whole on House Bill 215, and
passed the item of $1,000 for landing
and wharves on Kauai, over which the
storm of the day before had ragged.
The item of $4,000 for the Nuuanu
dam was hen taken up again, Long
moving that it pass as in the bill.
"The only objection to that is that
$75,00 viii not be enough to COM
plete the work according to the re-
port of Engineer Schuyler said Rice.
<<The amount needed ought to get in
under the new Loan Act. According
to the report it will cost $4,000 to
finish the work.
"We don't care where the money
M from so long as we get it, said
Long. 1--WE want to have the dam
completed some way
HIGH SCHOOL NEEDED.
"This money belongs to Oahu, any
way said Kaleiopu. "We nave given
Kauai what she wanted for her land
ings and wharves and I now move that
we use this $4,000 for a new High
School for Honolulu
"But there is not that much left in
the bill. There is only $59,617.96 left
after we give Maui the extra court
house money and the leper home $4,000
more,'' objected Rice.
A PALATIAL SCHOOL.
"This amount left is sufficient for
the Board,' said Hughes. "Take
$4,000 for the completion of the Kali
hiwaena school and the balance will
build a good high school building. Fiji
ay-fve thousand dollars will put up a
palatial building"
Kaleiopu took up the suggestion and
moved that $4,000 be put in for the
Kalihi building and $56,617 for the
High school.
Both items carried and the High
school building, which yesterday the
Oahu members had thought was slip
ping away from them and which they
had resigned themselves to lose in or
der to get through their dam items,
was pinned down again.
GREEDY DEPARTMENT.
House Bill 242, which asks that all the
receipts from the Lahainaluna
Seminary and the Boys Industrial
school be turned back and expended on
the schools, was fought by Rice, who
the effort of the Depart
'nent of Public Instruction to railroad
a bill through of this kind after the
had appropriated all the
money the department had asked for.
He moved the tabling of the bill. {
Pail made a half-hearted defense of {

HUGHES WOULD HELP THE BOYS.
Hughes moved an amendment to the t
that the net profits at these v
be divided among the boys at
he schools on the expiry of their

Kaleiopu objected to putting the SEM b
nary boys on the same level as the "

the tabling of the amendments. e,
Hughes explained that it would be el

here with a hope of reform and the =,
