= ~ these enough items 20 coa ftss. go,

pcndlture by special bills has aifead
. been passed. and you will demonstrai
. a lack OF capacity II your proceeding
nnaiiy result in appropriations exceed
Ing all reasonable estimates OF reve
nue."
This mesnaEe was listened to in 81
icncs and It's consideration put of unit
the afternoon.
For the same reason Senate Bill i0f
appropriating $4,000 for the preserva
tion OF the remains OF the former sov
ereigns and high chiefs OF Hawaii, wal
vetoed. The message explained tina
many items would have to go over
board now and the Governor did moi
wish further to aggravate the situa'
tion.
GOVERNOR is SORE.
Rice spoke on the messages:
"The Governor has taken the flnan-
cial situation by adding all the bills
from the highest figures. those Of the
| Senate. The Senate has boosted every
bill. We are well within the revenues
now.
II think the Governor is sore a lit
tie because we have not seen fit to
appropriate money just as he saw ft.
The financial affairs of this Territory
will be just as satisfactory two years
| from now as they are today"
Rice then moved that the considera-
| tion Of this veto go over until Monday,
which carried.
WHAT AMOUNTS ARE GONE.
The appropriations which become
law are the following: Act !, carrying
SIS 900 for the expenses of the coming
members of Congress, which will all
be spent: Acts 2 and 3. carrying $780,
900 for the expenses of the Legislature,
from which there will be substantial
balance, possibly of $4,000; Act 9, for
expenses of the government to the
end of the present biennial period,
amounting to s56,s6142 Act 26, appro-
priating $4,000 for furnishing the Hilo
High school, and Senate Bills S5 and
20, and House Hill 1873, which total
$22, 1870.
In preparing his figures for the veto
messages the Governor has taken the
bills at the highest figures at which
they have passed in either House and
totalled them. AS in some cases items
are duplicated in different bills, such
as one of s24, 900 for government physi-
clans, and the conference committees
have pruned, it is said, most literally,
the chairman of the Finance commit
tee in the House feels justified in stat
ing that the income of the country will
not be exceeded.
MINORITY DAM REPORT.
Rice presented the minority report
of Senator Chillingworth on the Nuu-
anu dam, which was read through and
laid over for consideration with the
other reports in the afternoon. During
the reading of this report and the short
discussion which followed it, the auth
or hung his head in the makai door
and watched proceedings.
Kaleiopu wanted to know how the
report came to speak about s132,0OO
when Schuyler estimated s164, 900 need
ed to complete the work, Rice explain
ing that a balance on the old contract
of $4,000 approximately was left on
hand
Afternoon Session.
The impetuosity of the Senate in sus-
tanning the Governors veto on House
Bill 139, Correa's bill relating to hunt
ing with firearms, before the House
had taken action was the subject of
some caustic comment from the Speak
er, after the message from the Senate
had been read.
The veto had been overriden, how
ever, on Senate Bill LOG. The Senate
also returned House Bill 223, passed
without amendments.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 8, deal
ing with the consideration by Congress
of plan of redistributing the func-
tions and duties of Territorial and
county officials and the looping out of
unnecessary offices and office holders
There was suggestion that the mat
ter should go to the Judiciary COM
mittee, Rawlns thinking that the Mis-
cellany committee should handle 1t.
The chair, however, suggested the
Rules committee and in spite of Shell
don's protests there it went
LEPER TREATMENT PERMIT BILL.
Kalana's bill making it mandatory
on the part of the Board of Health to
issue permits to treat lepers to all who
applied, the permits to be good for two
years, had its teeth drawn in the Sem
ate, putting out the clause making the
permits good for minimum period
and the obligation on the part of the
Board to issue them. The bill was put
aside for further consideration.
The freight toll bill was also return
ed with amendments particularizng as
to what was to be considered a ton
under the bill. The amendments were
concurred in.
Senate Bill ia was presented for the
consideration of the House. This is a
second Maui bond issue bill for S110,-
900 and passed first reading.
SCHOOL REVENUE BILL PASSES
The report of the Education COM
mittee on Hughes amendment to the
bill giving to the Lahainaluna semi
nary and the Waialee Industrial school
net earnings from their work, which
Hughes wanted divided among the in
mates and pupils, was to cut out the
industrial school from the bill and ig-
more Hughes amendments. The
amendments in the reports were adop-
ted, Hughes being absent, without de-
bate, but Rice had an amendment to
delay the bill going into effect until
1909. For the present fiscal period the
