SPECIAL NEEDS
FOR EXTRA CASH
Governor Sends an Emergency
Message to Legislature
on Finances.


following special message to the leg.
islature containing accommodation
for emergency appropriations under
four headings:
l submit herewith for your consider.
alton, in the form of four appropria-
ton bills, estimates of additional sums
required for immediate needs.
Current Expenses.
The first of these bills is for current
expenses for the remainder of the
present period. The principal items are
for the department of public health
and are made necessary by reason of
emergencies which arose from the in
PRODUCTION of a case of yellow fever
at Honolulu and the spread of plague
in the districts of Hilo and Hamakua
on the Island Of Hawaii The next
largest item is for the maintenance of
prisoners and is made necessary by
reason of an increase in the number of
prisoners, the cost per prisoner remain.
ing substantially the same.
Permanent Improvements.
The second of these bills is for OBJ.
jects in the nature of permanent i'm.
provements and purposes incidental
thereto; the appropriations for which
should not lapse with the present bien-
NAL period, as the work under some
of them may extend into the next
period. The largest group of items
in this bill is for completing the recon
struction of the Judiciary building,
for moving and temporary accommoda.
tions incidental to that work, and for
furnishing that building. 1t is found
impossible even after cutting down the
plans and specifications to complete
the building within the amount appro-
priated. The appropriations for NOV
ing and temporary accommodations and
furniture have proved entirely made
! quate.
Steel furniture has been ordered un.
der the present appropriation of $10,-
600 for the portions of the building in
which 1t is most needed. The add.
tional amount required, as inserted in
, the bill, is $4,000. This is on the
view that the furniture in the court
rooms and judges rooms will be of
wood. If the legislature is of the
opinion that this furniture, excepting
the chairs, should be of steel, the
amount should be increased to $50 900.
The item for the Mahukona wharf
and wharf shed is required because of
the recent partial destruction of that
wharf by an unusually high sea.
The new Girls Industrial School has
been completed as far as possible under
the appropriation made by the last
legislature. An additional amount of
$4,000 will be recommended for the
next biennial period for the erection
az A.
crease in the number of girls, but there
are certain additional minor buildings
and other improvements required i'm.
mediatelv in order to enable the school
to move into its new quarters and thus
utilize them and hence small item is
inserted for this purpose in the pres
emf bill.
A small item is inserted for work,
shop. storehouse and garage for the
board of health huldino Mt Hilo
which is required. among other reasons
in consequence of the necessitv of NOV
ing at an early date from the present
quarters. The iail at the leper set
