moved that $4,000 be- put in for I
Kalihi binding and t56,6i7 for I
High school
Both items carried and the Hi
school building, which yesterday q
Oahu members had thought was sli
ping away from them and which th'
had resigned themselves to lose In o
der to get through their dam item
was pinned down again.
GREEDY DEPARTMENT.
House Bill 242, which asks that all III
net receipts from the Lahainalun
Seminary and the Boys Industrii
school be turned back and expended o
the schools, was fought by Rice, VIII
denounced the effort of the Depart
ment of Public Instruction to railroa
bill through of this kind after tn
Legislature had appropriated all tn
money the department had asked fo
lie moved the tabling of the bill.
Pail made halfhearted defense Q
the bill, feeling some responsibility a
its introducer. He did not dane
around and thump his desk as he doe
when he feels lively interest in hi
measures.
Waiwaiole supported the bill.
HUGHES WOULD HELP THE BOYS
Hughes moved an amendment to th
effect that the net profits at thes,
schools be divided among the boys a
the schools on the expiry of thei
terms and according to their good be
havior.
Kaleiopu objected to putting the sem
mary boys on the same level as tn
bad boys in the industrial school an'
moved the tabling of the amendments
Hughes explained that it would b'
an incentive to the boys at Waiale'
to know that part of their earnings
would come to them when their sen
tence was served out. They were sent
there with n hope of reform and the
payment to them of percentage OF
their earnings would induce them tc
brace up. And the same thing would
apply still stronger to the boys at
Lahainaluna, who would not have the
handicap upon them as the others. He
objected, certainly, to turning the mon
ey over to the disposition of any one
man.
BILL COMMITTED.
Kaleiopu withdrew his motion to ta-
BILE on the suggestion of the Speaker
and the bill was sent to the Educa-
tion committee for a short considera-
tion.
MUCH AMENDED BILL.
House Bill 131 was taken up on
third reading. This is the Loan bill
which originally carried 100000 but
which was disemboweled by the FL
nance committee and stuffed with a
few items for new school buildings. The
bill carried n 100000 item for the dam
and Rice moved an amended item of
$132, 900.
THE ITEM VOTED DOWN.
The amendment was lost, three votes
showing the same result. The dam
supporters were nonplussed but the re,
suit stood.
PAUOA WATER RIGHTS.
The explanation came when Kalec
bobbed up with his Pauoa water rights
amendment, calling for $4,000 for
their purchase. This was in pursuance
OF a resolution already passed in the
House.
He spoke at length on the excellence
of the Pauoa water and the advisa'
bllity of the Territory securing them a,
once. He reviewed the actions of the
last Legislature and the attempts made
formerly to secure these springs.
Kaleiopu called the amendment out OF
order and then demanded an explana-
ton.
ment mean by everything pertaining
therefor Does he mean the land ali
around the springs?" He thought the
phrase meant the whole of Pauoa val,
ley and he scented a scheme whereby
the adjoining land owners would gouge
into the Territory.
ONE ELEPHANT PLENTY.
Sheldon said the government had one
elephant on its hands now in Nuuanu
valley. He favored the Pauoa scheme
deep into the Nuuanu dam matter to
pull out now.
Coney wanted to hear the discussion
on the whole dam matter before he vo-
ted on any appropriation. He believed
in going ahead and finishing the dam
but wanted to know all about 1t first.
Sheldon moved that Kaleo's motion
for butting in after u motion to post
pone had gone in.
The Chair agreed and the matter Went
over until the afternoon.
THE DAILY VEToES.
AS was expected by the introducer
Sheldons bill to appropriate $4,000 for
the construction and repair OF the Wal
mea river breakwater yesterday got the
official veto. The grounds
taken by the Governor were that the
estimated revenues We're already ex'
ceeded in the regular appropriation
