age Of this item Jones would be get. |
ting two salaries, as he is already a
court stenographer.
Ten Cigars For Jones.
Kaniho couldn't get over It. He
had to talk again. He insisted that
Jones was not worth more than $3.50
at the most, as all he would do would
be to run and hide. Besides, some OF
the United States officers don't get as
big pay as II is proposed to pay Jones.
He thought that s13 month would be
more Jones size, anyway. It's fine
economy, anyway. to pay this thin per
son a fat salary. II seriously think
that It would be about the right thing
TO pay him about ten cigars MONTH"
Some kind unknown friend had dis.
interestedly sent Rice a copy of Ma
tional Guard magazine, from which he
read statement that the Adjutant
General of Colorado gets 5000 month.
Coney called attention to the fact
that Hawaii is more important sta
ton than Colorado. Besides. the Ad.
jutant General has more to do than
put on a uniform and get out to drill
his men. He has to keep books and
do lots of clerical work.
The item finally passed at 5000, SIS
less than in the bill
The items of SIS for clerk and as.
sistant and $40 for janitor and armorer
passed, also the item of $4,000 for eX-
penses, making total OF $19.560.
Queens Hospital Gets $4,000.
The fight against any appropriation
for the Queens hospital was renewed
, when Single called that item up and
moved its passage. Coney, as chair.
man of the Health and Police Com
mittee, favored the $4,000 approprla-
ton. Rice, however, was dead
against. He could not see how the
Oahu contingent could have the nerve
to ask the other counties to support an
institution nearly all the benefits of
which are for Oahu. I'VE want to help
Honolulu all we can" he said. but
believe each county should look after
its own hospital. II we are going to
carry out our plan of turning over
more power to the counties, ] think we
should be consistent in 1t. II we are
not, don't think we'd better turn over
anything more to the counties"
Single took the view that II the
Queens Hospital were self-supporting,
1t would be different proposition, but
even with the Territorial appropriation
the hospital fell behind $4,000 or $1,000
in two years. 81 appeal to you Ha.
waiians," he said, TO see that this In.
stitution, which was endowed 'by
Queen Emma, be not allowed to suf.
fer"
This appeal proved effective. The
item passed.
Single then moved that the appro.
priations for the Leahi Home, Kapio.
LAM Maternity Home. Hilo Hospital,
Malulani Hospital. Maui and repairs
for the latter, be stricken out. They
were stricken, thus reducing the total
from $6S 200 to $4,000.
The bill was read through again
item by item. Correa moved to re.
consider the item of $4,000 for expenses
OF the Attorney Generals Department.
Carried. Correa moved to make the
item $11 400 as originally In the bill.
This carried, making the total for the
department $4,000.
License inspectors.
Under the head of Treasury Depart.
ment, Sheldon moved to strike out tie
$4,000 item for liquor law, which In.
cludes the expenses of License Inspect.
ors. Single agreed that the counties
ought to handle this business, but some
provision for the License Board should
be made. He moved to cut the itcn. 10
$4,000.
Castro couldn't see how the counties
could be expected TO pay the expenses
OF license inspectors appointed by Ter
ritorial License Commissioners. AS to
having license inspectors appointed by
the counties, such course would he
disastrous, for an inspector must be a
I person OF some intelligence. II the law
