EXTRA APPROPRIATIONS.

EXTRA APPROPRIATIONS.
The item for Leahi Home passed.
Fairchild moved 10 insert an item
of $4,000 for repairs, alterations and
furniture for the Judiciary building.
President Smith suggested that the
proposal should be carefully consid-
cred. 1t seemed to him that smaller
amount for keeping the building in
ordinary repairs should be voted
Quinn favored the suggestion, cit
ing the case of Alakea street wharf
shed where the bids did not come
within a mile of the estimate.
Fairchild thought they should eth
er wait for two years or vote the
$4,000 for thorough renovation. Mo
ney voted for temporary repairs
would go for whitewash, etc., and the
Government would be back for more
at next session.
Makekau moved to amend to $685.
900 so as to leave $4,000 for new
wharf at Mahukona.
Quinn moved to raise 1t to 500, 900.
Kalama said there was no such
building as the Judiciary 1t should
be called by its right name of Alii-
olani Hale. His motion to amend the
bill accordingly carried and the item
passed at $4,000.
Fairchild moved to insert $4,000
for the Boys Industrial School. Moore
moved the item be not inserted. Ma
kekau butted in with a motion to
insert an item for Mahukona wharf.
The president called him to order and
went on to say that it was hoped that
under the juvenile court law there
would be a less number Of boys sent
to that school. Chillingworth said
none would be sent.
Makekau was struggling to hold the
floor for Mahukona wharf when no
was again called to order, but it was
discovered there was no second to
Fairchild's motion and he got in a
motion for $4,000 for a new building
and concrete wall at Mahukona.
Fairchild asked if it was to be on
government land Woods replied that
it was all government land around
there. Chillingworth wanted to be
sure. Ever since he was a child Ma
hukona landing was under private
control. Charges on parcels were be-
ng made there today.
Moore said the Hanalei wharf al
ready provided for would be on prl-
vate land.
The item passed with all amend
ment providing that the landing be
on government land. Fairchild then
had his item for Hanalei amended by
adding the same proviso to it.
Baker moved to insert $4,000 for
a new landing at Napoopoo, provid-
ed that it be on government land. The
president uttered a caution about the
financial situation as shown. Baker
replied that there was great deal
of freight at Napoopoo.
you have a good landing there"
the president empahtically remarked.
Bakre, thus confronted with fact,
hastily withdrew his motion but the
moving spirit being upon him he
moved to insert an item of $4,000 for
salary of a school agent. Robinson
supported the motion.
Mccarthy referred to the raise of
$4,000 in the salaries of teachers.
This matter of school agents had been
discussed repeatedly inside and out
side of the Senate. The superinte-
dent could commission the principal
of the largest school in each district
to act as school agent.
The item was lost.
Makekau moved to insert a pension
of 5000 a year for the widow OF the
late G. w. A. Hapai, for many years
district magistrate OF Hilo. He spoke
long and often in alienation with
members opposing the motion.
