showing that such items to the amount

and providing a government therefore,
made it clear by provisions therein,
that it was the reasonable expectation
of the Congress that the principles Of
local self government would in time be
developed within the Territory, con-
formable to the spirit and methods of
American institutions, and expressly
provided that counties, cities and towns
might be created. but
Whereas, II has been found, in the
effort to carry out this reasonable ex-
pectation of the Congress, that the inn
mediate necessity it was under at the
time to provide a complete form and
system of government adequate to meet
! the peculiarlties of the situation, has
resulted in serious difficulties in the
way Of adjusting the government OF
the Territory to local self government
even along lines Of the most conser-
vative development, and the most usual
forms of local self government such as
counties and cities resulting unavoid-
ably IN burdensome and obstructive
overlappings and Implications OF gov.
ernmental functions.
Therefore. be It resolved, by the
Senate Of the Territory OF Hawaii, thu
House OF Representatives concurring
that the Congress is respectfully urged

and report on the subject or upon sucl

TOO SLOW

BOND ISSUE
MUST WAIT TWO YEARS TO GET
RESOLUTION COMING ON KINAU,
CONFIRMED BY LEGISLATURE.

Hawaii wants to issue bonds under
the new act passed on the 18th inst, but
she has been too slow in taking the
necessary steps, and will not be able to
do it until the next legislature con-
venes. Maui got in in good time with
her resolution and may get the legisla-
tive sanction in due time. Hawaii has
evidently been asleep. The following
wireless messages between Chairman
Todd of the Hawaii County Supervisors
and Speaker Holstein explains the sit
uation;
Hilo, April 90, 1907.
Holstein, Speaker:
Can you obtain two days recess to
allow passage of act ratifying Hawaii

Speaker Holstein in speaking of the
matter said:
Every day of recess taken now
counts against us. Only holidays and
Sundays excepted. The Supervisors OF
Hawaii must have a poor conception OF
legislative work. If they had not gone
to sleep but had kept awake like the
Maui County Supervisors, there would
be something doing for Hawaii

Makekau inquired what right the

Lane replied that there was no demand
it was simply request that the next
Legislature take such action as it might
see fit.
The motion to refer was lost.
Lane renewed his motion to pass the
measure. Then Kalama spoke against
the adoption of the resolution, owing
to the feature of recommendation TO
the next Legislature. Smith said that
he had regretted that the board OF
health had acted as it had done but he
felt that there were expressions con-

FIFTY-FOURTH DAY.
MORNING SESSION.

The first measure taken up by the
Senate this morning was a comunica-
ton from Land Commissioner Pratt an
swering certain questions relative to
the public lands, that had been put to
him in a resolution introduced some
days ago by Standardization. The
communication was of considerable
length. Makekau moved that the mat
ter be referred to the printing COM
mittee as he desired copy in order to
study the matter carefully.
Coelho suggested not to go to the ex-
pense of having the measure specially
printed but to have it printed in the
regular Senate journal and save ex-
penses.
Makekau demurred as the journal
would not be printed until after the
legislature had adjourned. His motion
to have the reply printed at once, was
carried.

possible leakage from the reservoir, as
than the deeper layers through which
water is percolating down the valley.
From the test pits which 1 had dug
in the flats above the dam 1 am con-
WINGED that the engineers were over
cautions In this regard and am positive
that the removal Of three to four feet
Of the soil is entirely admissible with
out affecting the seepage loss from the
reservoir. These pits showed a depth
of eight to eighteen feet of plastic ma
terial over the floor of the reservoir
For all future work the material tor
the embankmcnt which cannot be de-
posted by suicing should be taken from
borrow-pits in the reservoir at a cost
which should not exceed 80 cents a yard
instead of hauling it from a long dis
lance outside the reservoir and paying
GO cents a yard for it, This latter COM
ment on the soundness Of the policy of
taking all material for the dam from
outside the reservoir, is, however, mere
ly a difference i'm judgment between
engineers and is not strictly a part of
my answer to the interrogatory as to
the completeness of the specifications.
Taken as a whole 1 may say that the
specifications compare favorably with
the average run of specifications for
such works, and are not so seriously
defective. but that the work might have
been satisfactorily Stomplesed under
them within the time stipulated by
the contract with proper plant and
an adequate organization and system.
have known of larger works having
been executed by an experienced con-
Tractor without specifications, plans or
