GOVERNOR SENDS A SPECIAL MESSAGE APPROPRIATIONS
KEEPS WITHIN ESTIMATED REVENUE AND SUGGESTS SAVING
BY TURNING WORK THE uoUNrlEs-Curs AMOUNTS
MORE
IA MORE THAN 100000

A message from the Governor was
resolved in the Senate this afternoon
covering estimates for expenditures
for the coming biennial period
The estimates aggregate $3,24S,22G,
which, the message notes, is $50, ,6S2.45
less than the estimated available rev.
enues A new departure which the
Governor had heralded through the
press, is the combining of salaries ana
expenses in one bill
The message says:
"A saving to the Territory with per-
haps not a corresponding increase of
expense to the counties might be made
by turning over more OF the Terrific
rial work to the counties. At present
apparently the counties are better off
financially than the Territory and this
difference will tend constantly to grow
larger. Some of the work of the Ter
ritory would more properly come
within the functions of the counties
at the outset, as. for instance, the es-
tablishment and maintenance of local
hospitals.

HOUSE IS HURRYINC
BENEFITS FOR HAWAII

In spite of an amount of business
that has never before been equalled IN
the history Of Hawaiian House ses-
slons, there has as yet, been nothing
of particular excitement in the House
of Representatives.
All the freaks are in the Senate"
remarked a Representative this after
noon, and then he begged the mem
bers of the press not to mention his
name, which was natural.
1t may be remarked thai His Honor,
Mayor Fern, has not yet called on the
Speaker of the House, although the
latter has not suffered for want of
calls. Some Salvation Army lassies
have called and urged a little legisla-
ton for the assistance of their noble
work. Now that this is known, there
will probably be many callers of a
charitable variety.
The Legislators today drew down a
third of their money for the session.
some twenty thousand dollars having
been received from Washington to pay
to lawmakers. Oh, but there was a
rush for the pay Office when it was
known, and the country members are
already sending wireless messages
home to the effect that the session is
a success
Less than six days of the session
have passed and both houses have ap-
propriated expenses. This is a record
Last time it was fourteen days.
One of the most interesting intro.
ductions this morning was a bill by
Shingle to provide that the Governor
appoint a commission on insanity, pro
vfding that two doctors and another
compose the board Of commissioners to
examine into the cases of alleged in.
sane persons. He provides that the
alleged insane person shall pay for his
own examination if he can, or the
county pays.
Perhaps this bill was inspired by
the Atcherley case.
Nawahine wants the National GuarC
TO get $35 per month for each com,
pany. The military fever is going tC
an extreme.
The committee on promotion recon-
ments that the Legislature hustle in
the matter of approprlating for Ha
walls exhibit at Seattle, and Shingle
as chairman, is very enthusiastic.

The report of Chief Justice HartwelI

The report, as printed and distributed
last week, contains the following:
By circular letter of October u,

No. Al of May, 1907, asked Tor reports

cases pending in those courts on De-
cember 81, 1908, to be presented to me

airy and have repeatedly caused notices
to be sent to them that this was re-
quired. In several circuits the CLERKS

MESSAGE
ASKSAPPROPRIATION
FREAR TAKES STEPS TO PROVIDE
FOR A LABORATORY TO TREAT
LEPROSY IN HONOLULU.

Following is a message Of the Gov
ernor presented to the Legislature
this morning:
Territory of Hawaii, Executive Cham
ber, Honolulu, T. H., Feb. %, 1909.
ITO the Legislature:-ln my first
message to your honorable body stat
ed that arrangements had been made
by which a considerable portion of
the appropriation made by Congress
for the scientific investigation of lep-
rosy may be used at Honolulu and
elsewhere in the Territory in coOpera-
ton with the work of the territorial
board of health, but that it would be
necessary for the Territory to provide
the necessary quarters for such work.
1t was planned to include an estimate
for such quarters in the estimates for
the next biennial period, but reasons
now appear for including it in the es-
Inmates for further appropriations for
the current period. So far as the cost
to the Territory is concerned, it is
immaterial in which bill the item is
included, and unless the appropriation
is made at an early date it is more
than likely that this benefcent work
cannot be begun until long after the
commencement of the next peri0T. |
therefore recommend that an item for
a laboratory for the investigation and
treatment of leprosy at Honolulu, be
inserted in the appropriation bill now
before your honorable body for the
further needs of the present period.
Probably five thousand dollars will be
sufficient.
wv. F. FREAR,
Governor of Hawaii"
