Two-county Bill Report.
The Judiciary Committee reported
adversely on Kaweweh' 5 bill to cut
Hawaii into two counties, saying that
it would duplicate offices and make un-
necessary expense. 1t recommended
that the bill be tabled
Kawewehi moved the tabling of the
report and asked that the bill be re-
ferred to special committee of the
members from Hawaii He said he
had asked permission TO appear before
the committee on the bill and further
stated that he had not introduced the
bill as joke. He had figures, he said,
showing that there was money enough
to run two governments, and when
money was available, he might have
said, why not jobs enough to use it
upi He said West Hawaii would have
$6S,000 to spend, while fines and costs
would add another $4,000 to this total.
The county officials would only require
some $4,000 year in salaries, while
clerks and deputies would only take
some $1,000 year more and police
salary about 100000. This would only
take about half the revenue, quite
modest enough when compared with
the boon of running a new govern
ment.
Road expenses, he had figured would
be per month, $500, divided as fol-
lows: Kau, $500; South Kona, $500;
North KOna, $500; South Kohala, $500,
and North Kohala, 5000 Thus would
the labOrers benefit. while there would
be an available balance of $4,000 in
the new treasury. This money could
be wisely used, said Kawewehi. He
also pointed with pride to the fine con
dition of the Kona roads.
He renewed his motion to table the
report and pass the bill over to the
Hawaii members.
The Speaker stated that this was
most unusual motion, but that the Chair
heard unusual motions at times.
Kaleiopu poured some vials Of scorn
upon the bill, to which Kaniho respond
ed. He secuted the idea of any finan-
cial stress in the proposed county, as
the Legislature was providing the cOun-
ties literally with tax money, licenses
and fines. He quoted Ii. p. Baldwin's
remark on the original county bill, to
provide the counties and raise the
money afterwards "There is plenty
of money" urged Kaniho, who also ex-
patiated on the amount of brains in
West Hawaii and the knowledge of how
to make little money pay many sal
aries, which could be put TO work.
