pressed themselves ne against the sug.
gcstions made By Kellogg and the Gov
crnor said be would adopt them only
in part. subsequently he ordered the
superintendent TO proceed on the lines
advised by the expert.
Relative to this II is said that the
Governor remarked that he was satisfied
with the reports made by the depart
ment and that the Kellogg report was
asked for only to satisfy the Advcr-
tiser and the public. When Kellogg
came the two men in the department,
Holloway and Rowland. wanted to
question but the Governor said 1t would
not be allowed, that they were to stay
In the background until the expert had
gone away.
An opinion has been expressed that
now that the salaries have been rails
ed the House may keep them UP to
the figure set by the Senate. In the
beginning there was a strong feeling
that the Senate should show to the
that Ilt was uiiWfSC " aeN
so much to the salary roll of the Ter
ritory. 1t was nearly two hundred
thousand dollars greater than two
years ago. But once the desire of a
member to increase took root 1t spread
like an epidemic until the entire ap-
preparation of salaries is s6s,172 more
than the amount decided upon by the
Governor. The minds of the Senators

suddenly and it is argued that as the
representatives are determined to keep
down the sum they may change their
minds as did the senators.
1t comes UP from the Flshmarket
that the populace is sore on account of
the disposition shown to increase the
pay of clerks and to let that of the
hard working laboring men stand at
dollar a day. The Legislators have
taken that into consideration, but have
been swayed in their opinion by the
appearance of the men who sleep half
the day on the grass in the Executive
grounds instead of reaching for the
dollar.
Senator Woods sprung a little joker
on the Senate during the morning by
asking for a report from the commit
tee, appointed by the Vice President,
on motion of Senator Chillingworth, to
call on the President of the Senate who
had been confined to his house by ILL
ness for several days. Senator Chill
lingworth pleaded rush of affairs and
promised to go and see the Senator
during the afternoon. He had not been
advised that the President has been
at Haleiwa for several days.

mittee to consider Concurrent Resolu-
ton No. l.

tion of the vote on House Bill No. 92,
relating to private Ways and Water
rights as there are parties who de-
sire to be heard on the subject.
Senator Makekau called upon the

several Of his measures now in the
hands of the Judiciary and was told
by Senator Smith that they would
have prompt attention.
The rest of the morning was taken
up by the discussion of the Municipal
bill inserting the amendments sug-
gested by the committee. 1t is believ-
ed this will pass second reading today

effort made to pass the bill in time
