FIFTY THOUSAND FROM
SUM ASKED.
lFrom "Wednesday Advertiser.l

NfIom wednesday, AdNerusct,)
ChillinEworth 5 senate bill, appro.
priating 100000 TO provide for Ha-
waiian exhibit at the Panama Pacific
Exposition came out of the promotion
committee in the senate yesterday with
$4,000 cut of. In this condition the
measure went through second reading
without dissenting vote. Indications
are that il il is called up on final pas
sage today il will make the final lap of
its journey through the upper house.
Senator Pcnhallow, of the promotion
committee, in supporting the measure
from the floor, stated that 1t was the
sense of the committee that Hawaii
would reap much benefit from an ex-
hibit Mt the exposition. After careful
consideration and the holding of pub.
lie meeting to discuss the merits of the
measure, he said, it was determined
that $l50,000 would be sufficient for
the work. Senator Chillingworth, who
introduced the measure, agreed to the
amendment.
1t is understood that the members
of the ways and means committee were
first consulted before the promotion
committee handed in its report on this
measure. As further amended, the bill
provides that $4,000 of the appropria.
ton shall be spent for the building,
while the balance shall be used entirely
in the installing and maintenance of
the exhibit.
New Substitute Bill.
The judiciary committee seeks to add
further protection TO the finances of
the different counties of the Territory
in Senate Bill 1l2. This was intro
duced yesterday as substitute for
House Bill IS, relating to the duties of
the territorial auditor.
The house measure, introduced by
Lyman, would give the auditor further
powers in the examination and appro.
val of accounts in the different county
departments. The substitute intro
duced yesterday is believed to more
thoroughly cover this question.
Gould Not Agree
A further debate on House Bill ~
was expected yesterday after the con-
ference committee had reported an
agreement with the house conference
committee on amendments to the meas
ure, which deals with expenses of the
circuit courts. The report had no
sooner been received than an unofficial
message came from the house that that
bod refused to approve the agree
ment made by it's conference commit
tee This means the appointment OF
new committees and another effort to
reach an understanding on this meas
ure.
Kawewehi g bill prohibiting the
catching of fish in the harbor of Hilo
went through third reading and was
sent to the Governor, as did the cir
cult court expense measure This,
however, will probably be held up pend
ing further action by the house.
;, Coke's measure appropriating about
| $4,000 to II. Kishi for meals furnished
! aliens brought here year or more ago
on the Willesden went through third
reading.
Appointments Delayed.
The expected list of appointments
| for the lIilo investigation commission
did not come down from the Governor
yesterday. 1t is possible they may be
handed in today for confirmation.
Senator Metzger, as chairman of the
committee of the whole, brought in
report favorable to the passage of
! House Bill 81 and House Bill 14s. The
7 former relates to the time of holding
elections and was intended to apply
only to Maui. 1t was amended to in
clude Hawaii and Kauai The date of
election was fixed at the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in May.
The officers elected will assume office
at the beginning of July following.
\ House Bill 14s deals with the salaries
! of county officers, and with slight
amendments it was also favorably re-
ported. On these recommendations
| the measures passed second reading.
