Kalana thought that the little raise
of $25 a month not worth quarreling
over. The raise ought TO be given.
A standing vote found the committee
divided thirteen to twelve, the unlucky
number meaning that the counties must
stand the raise If the Senate agrees.
SOME CUTS, SOME BOOSTS.
vote was taken to knock $500 or
the $1,000 proposed for the sheriff OF
Oahu. but the motion lost Rawlins
moved the same thing for the sheriff
of Kauai, which was also lost.
Kahana wanted to boost the county
clerk of Hawaii to the $1,000 class.
something which Hughes dubbed as
ridiculous and asked for some consider
alton for the taxpayers.
Rawlins moved that the salary be
made $500, which was n raise OF fifty
per cent.
Kaleiopu thought Hawaii's salary list
was no business of any member from
another county. Hawaii had her own
delegation in the House and could look
after her own affairs.
The salary was finally passed at
s2iOO
Pail moved that the County Clerk OF
Maui, his own district, be cut from
$500 to $500 and the House was SO
startled that IL passed the amendment
without debate.
Rice wanted to cut the Kauai county
clerk to $500. too. instead of $500. Ac-
ton on this was deferred.
Nakaleka boosted the authorship OF
Maui to $1,000. which passed.
An attempt was made 20 raise tho
Hawaii county attorney 10 $1,000. which
Rawlins opposed. Nailima. who sug-
gested the boost. dilated on the big
travelling fees the Hawaii lawyer had
to pay. Rawlins wanted 10 know why
the Hawaii members wanted 10 boost
salaries when they complained Of their
poverty when asking the House TO
build their lava flow road.
Kaleiopu moved that the committee
rise. which il did. leaving the Hawaii
county attorneyship in the air. The
bill was placed on the calendar for
further consideration this afternoon.
