Asks Thanks For Hotel
A. W. Eames moved that the repor
of the committee be accepted and tina
a vote of thanks be rendered the man
agemcnt of the Alexander Young Hote
for their action in placing the pavilion
at the disposal of the convention.
w. c. Achi spoke in favor of making
a bigger appropriation for assistant
secretary, interpreter and clerk Of
committees, Coelho. He said four dol
lars day was altogether too small 9
sum to pay so valuable a man. II
CoelhO's work was worth anything il
was worth $40 a day, argued Achi.
Daniel Logan took the stand that the
session might not last more than thirty
days, in which event Coelho would re
ceive fair remuneration. Should tn,
session last the full term, Logar
thought the matter could be remedieC
out of the incidental fund.
Change In Estimate Opposed
w. o. Smith opposed any change II
the schedule of expenses which haC
been submitted to the Governor. II,
felt sure that more than 1920 coult
not be obtained from the contingent
fund, and that the convention would b,
lucky if it got that. He stated that tn,
convention was formed to work and no
to play and trusted that there woulC
be no tinkering with the committee >
estimate.
Achi wanted the assistant clerk
salary raised 5000 and>the item of print
ing and incidentals cut 800 in eacl
case
Kaleo discovered that two importan
jobs had been overlooked, those of ser
geant-at-arms and messenger. Withou
these officials the sessions of the con
ventiOn would be most supplementary
he declared. He urged that action OF
the financial end of the report be de
ferred until the committee had gon,
thoroughly into the matter. Eames
motion was unanimously carried.
Castro Urges Hard Work
A. ID. Castro said the convention
must get to work in businesslike man
ner and with as little expense to tn,
Territory as possible. The committee
he said, had tried to Impress the Gov
eTnor with the fact that the convention
intended to do the right thing by tn,
people, and he was of the opinion tina
If there were any dallying with tn,
estimate the lookedfor $1,000 nigh
not be forthcoming.
He moved that the committee be au
thorized to treat with the Governor OF
the original estimate, with the under
standing that one item might feed an
other should such be advisable an,
practicable.
Charles F. Chillingworth stated tina
he felt sure the Governor would holC
the committee to the original estimate
This estimate, as approved by the com
mittee, he said, would, providing tn,
funds were forthcoming from the con
tingent fund, be handed to the audi
tor, who would carefully check it up
No fimfaming' would be allowed
CastrO's motion was unanimously
adopted.
