FREAR EXPLAINS DRAIN ON
CONTINGENT FUND IN A
MESSAGE TO Legislature

Governor F'rear's special message to
the Legislature this morning, dealing
with the contingent fund and Terrific
rial finance generally. is as follows:
"The wisdom of providing such. a
fund has been demonstrated by the eX-
pericnco of this, the Gryt, fiscal period
for which such a fund has been pro-
vided, as we'll as by that of past fiscal
periods. Somewhat similar provision
was made here under the monarchy and
under the republic, and is now made in
some of the States on the mainland.
Without such a provision the executive
and judicial departments would be
obliged either to incur obligations
without authority of law, trusting to
the next Legislature to make the nee
cssary ratificationS and appropriations,
as has been customary in the past, or
else to permit absolutely necessary gov
ernmental functions to cease, with most
calamitous results, as, for instance to
close Oahu Prison, the Boys Indus
trial School and the circuit courts, and
permit epidemcs of dangerous diseases
to run their course unhindered.
1T will be noticed from the state
ment that one group of expenditures
was expressly authorized by concur
rent resolution of the Legislature,
namely, for the relief Of persons re-
leased from the leper settlement
Another group of expenditures was
for needs created by various laws or
Joint resolutions, but for which no APP
propriations were made. Most of these
were for the insanity, dairy truck
farm. homestead and wharf commits
sions, created by Joint resolutions of the
Legislature, and the Land Board, Gre
ated by act of Congress, and the Nor
NAL School an appropriation for which
was overlooked by the last Legislature
when public school buildings, with GER
tain exceptions, were transferred to the
counties. one item was for the CON
struction of sidewalks along govern
lncnt property in Honolulu. Not only
