While the Legislature has endeavor-
cd yuitb du hla l,uain tftra
spirit to bring the appropriations
within the revenues and by various
enactments to place the Territory and
the counties, singly and in relation to
each other, upon sound financial
basis, II has been found impossible
to do all in the direction that either
your honorable body or the admins
tratlon desires Financial safety and
stability seem to require that the
amount appropriated in the bill in
question should be reduced to an APP
probable extent-at least, In order To
| justify turning over to the counties
considerable additional revenue. 1t is
difficult to determine which items may
| best be dispensed with. and I have
concluded to veto those mentioned
| only after most careful consideration,
and in some cases with great regret
that financial conditions oblige me to
take this step.
Duties Are Less.
The item for the salary Of the dep
uty high sheriff and clerk may well
be omitted on its own merits as be-
ing unnecessary now that the duties
of the High Sheriff have been greatly
reduced by the transfer of jails and
| misdemeanant prisoners in the care OF
the counties, and In view of the pro-
| posed policy of relieving him for the
most part of the duty OF serving
process for the courts by leaving that
duty TO the county sheriffs, where IL
more properly belongs.
In the Treasury Department, the
item Of the salary of the boolSkeeper
| and deputy insurance commissioner Is
the only one that can safely be dis
pensed with under the wording of the
| appropriation bill
Under the Bureau of Taxes, Third
| Taxation Division, there is no occasion
| for the separate item for the salary of
the clerk and interpreter. That division
may well be placed on the same status
III lHlS respect ds Iue OlHtF ulNlblOnS-
Refers to Loan Bill.
Under the Public Works Department,
the items for landings at Mahukona
and Hanalei are somewhat exceptional
in this appropriation bill and might bet
ter, in view of the financial situation,
have been put in loan bill. They are
less needed than landings 1T some other
| points. There seems to be no urgent
reason for selecting these two places
in particular. Other equally or more
important items remain unprovided for
through the failure Of the loan bill.
Under the Board of Health, the policy
has been adopted by the Legislature
of turning over hospitals to the coun-
ties and there appears to be no sufficient
reason why the hospitals at Wailuku
and Hilo should not be SO tnrned over
at the beginning OF tae period as well
as six months later. There will be
ample time to make the necessary ar
ra12ements.
Much can be said against the dis
pensing with the item for the Queens
hospital, and it is with great reluc-
