down for Kauai school buildings and
have II spent for landings. warehouses
and wharves. Long wanted TO know

because we know our needs better
than Mr.. Long does" said Sheldon,
and this started a merry little row In
which Long. Sheldon, Rawlins and
Rice took part. Sheldon said Kauai
could worry along with it's present
schools but needed the landings at
once.
Cannot we have this money for
|
wants." asked Rice who brought up
again the s1s4 which his county had
so far received from the Loan Fund.
He explained that the bill was from
the Governor not one figure having
been put in by the Finance committee,
But we do not have to swallow
things just as he gives them to u.s." he
added.
1T seems to me the Kauai members
are trying to hog everything" said
Kaleiopu
How is that?" demanded Rice.
wait a minute, I'll show you" an
swered Kaleiopu, who proceeded to
quote the amounts voted in other ap-
preparation bills, one of them $4,000 for
Kauai landings. 1--WE want money for
our landings here and we need more
for our landings. They will come In
on the appropriation bill tomorrow and
want 100000 more for landings. j don't
think that's fair. l think It is ridicu-
lous."
1T seems to me that some of the
members here are sore. They want US
to spend this money on schoolhouses
and we want to spend 1t on landings |
and wharves. demand fair treat |
ment from this committee. We never |
got fair treatment under the Loan Bill |
but If the members do not want to be |
fair now 1t is up to Them" answered |
Rice.
Oahu never gets anything under
this bill except the $4,000 for the Nu-
uanu reservoir and that has been de-
ferred," said Kaleiopu, who went on
to say that Honolulu wasn't asking for
anything.
mo. that's the way with Honolulu"
said Sheldon. Honolulu never asks
Sor anything. She just gets in and
takes 1t. Now we are not here to die
ate to anyone but when we want to
get a pair of shoes we don't want to
De told that we have to have coat"
Hughes moved that the Kauai men,
'ers' request be granted.
kauai is a land of sugar barons,
eudal estates and baronial halls, but
seems to lack wharves,' he re-
marked.
Rice thanked Hughes for his conde-
ension and all seemed to be in good
lumor, but Long soured the milk OF
luman kindness in all by moving that
he items be struck out altogether II
Sauai did not want 1t for schools.
Pail moved point of order and Rice
emanded ruling of the chair. Silva,
he chairman, went up into the air and
'ali,f Rice, Long and Sheldon all clam
red for fair play and a ruling.
Long held the floor and demanded
he money for Oahu's schools. Oahu
eeded it II Kauai didn't.
Kauai needs the money all right"
aid Rice.
+, PAIL GETS BIBLICAL.
Pail quoted Scripture about the
read and the stone and reproved the
TENDERS for not being more familiar
18th the Bible. If Kauai wanted
harves, wharves they should have.
Kaleiopu moved that the committee
sc but Rice and Sheldon called for
vote on the item. Kaleiopu insisted
4 his motion, which carried.
