worth objected to the date, suggesting
that 1t be nlaue the day roiiowIng LnI
date suggested. Senator Rice remem-
bered, then, that March II is the an.
I nversary OF the birth Of the president
of the senate. ..'...
Makekau arose to suggest that it
would be an ekeellent idea to pass the
bill on second reading, as Amended by
the military committee, and let il go
to the house for further fixing. There
were eight members in the house who
would be interested in handling the
measure to suit themselves.
Senator Desha thought it shonld go
to the select committee of senators
from the island Of Hawaii.

shot in Hilo. President Chillingworth

Hawaii select committee and this time
the motion carried. .
Printing TOO Wide, II
The printing committee reported the
printing of senate bills "a and %, and
also the report of the hOldover com
mittee on education. Senator Wirtz
drew the attention Of the senate to
the fact that the latter report had been
printed in wide space, like a senate
bill There was some misunderstand!
ing, for reports should not be printed
in such manner, he said. The aim of
the senate was, for economy II the
fault lay with the printers, then the
printers should be set right. The pres.
ident stated that the affair would be
looked into. .'

spending School Money q
Senator Penhallow reported as fol
lows for the committee on education,
his report being adopted, .@
| Your committee on education to
/ whom house bill was referred, begs
to report:
The purpose of this bill is to pro
vide for the disposal of the unexpend.
ed balaneeb of the items on the special
fund of the school budget. The bill
was introduced to meet the suggestions
| Of the committee of estimates, the law
as amended in 1913, being somewhat
vague on this subject. Quoting from
the report made to the Governor by
the committee of estimates, that com
mittee has the following to say;
The greater portion of the time
occupied by THIS committee in its SEES.
Sions was taken up in the discussion of
certain phases of the school law which
seemed capable of Improvement. There
are quite number of sums unexpend
] ed, amounting to several thousand dol,
lars, which may be designated as unex,
pended balances. There are also items
where the amounts appropriated are
not sufficient for the work necessary.
1.-THE committee was at first some
what at a loss to determine whether
the law as it exists contemplates that
these unexpended balances shall re.
main in the hands OF the treastrers of
the several counties ready for expen-
diture for the several purposes speci.
fed, or whether these unexpended
balances would come within the class
of lapsed appropriations, and would

several counties, aud be subject to ex.
penditure for other purposes than
those for which they were designated
in the school budget.
This committee recommends that
in submitting the school budget to the
Legislature, legislation be recommended
as follows: That a proviso should be
added to the section which would per.
NIT the boards Of supervisors with the
approval of the superintendent OF pub.
lie instruction, to use these unexpend.
ed be lanres for any of the purposes
specified in the special fund, as fixed
by the legislature for the succeedin :
bisnnial period.
! Therefore, your committee recon-,
mends that the bin pass with the fol,
lowing amendment:
