A PATHETIC PLANE.

Molokai, for reimbursement for the
loss Of his slOop "Volante" on March
49, 1902, at Waikolu, Molokai. while
loaned to j. d .McVeigh, the sloop
having been engaged by the Superin-
tendent to carry him TO Peekunu from
Waialua.
The sloop was loaned to a public
officer who was not only returning to
his post OF duty, but was looking for
food Of which the poor lepers at the
settlement were short at the time. In
the year 1901 this sloop was the means
of saving the lives of six men who were
out in a boat"
In 1905 petitioner presented a claim
OF 5000, but it was reduced to $3.50 and
passed by both houses of the Legisla-
ture though the governor saw fit TO
veto the item and your petitioner, a
poor man, was thus, by one stroke OF
the pen, deprived of some return for
going out of his way to help the un-
fortunateS."
MISCELLANEOUS SPLIT.
The miscellaneous committee, as fire.
qusntly is the case, split up on a re-
port on the Senate bill relating 10
bonds of county officers. The minority
report recommended passage for the
reasons that according to law the Au-
ditor has about the same liability as
the County Treasurer for all monies
illegally drawn and paid, and also
as large as that of the treasurer, says
fore the Legislature relating to trans
ferring of more Territorial properties
to the counties; therefore the amount
of the bond of the Auditor should be
as large as that the Treasurer says
Carley
The object of the bill is to raise thJ
present bond of the City and County
Auditor from $4,000 to $4,000. The
majority committee report sees no rea
son for such raise, saying The Super
visors have not requested any change.
Miscellaneous committee also re
commends tabling the bill, another bill
the object of which is to raise the pres
ent bonds Of auditors of the various
. counties
Rice said he had been in the Legis
lature three sessions and had obseryet
that the auditor had all the responsible
e ity, the Treasurer merely having t
& pay out on the order of the Auditor
= Therefore Rice advised deferring con
