complete and to have authority to in
eur such expenses as may be necessary
therefor, said committee to report back
its findings TO the Senate, together
with any recommendations which 1t
may deem desirable.
After the resolution was read Presi-
dent Smith suggested that the resolu-
ton should be referred to a committee

insisted that 100000 would be neces-
sary. Makekau moved to reduce the
