of the representatives win visit Wal.

Opinions were divided today in the
senate as TO the proposal by Senator
Cooke of the health committee to limit
the Kalaupapa visitors to that CON-
mittee. the health committee from the
house and afew others. Senator w. T.
Robinson says that he believes it the
duty of all the members to go to- the

cost $3.50 to charter a vessel.
President Chillingworth faYors the
idea OF lessening the number of those

go should be allowed the trip, he says
but otherwise there is no reason for
taking all of them. u
Senator Cooke stated this afternoon

PLANS FOR Walk
ALONG BEACH ARE
GIVEN TO BOARD

1t will not be necessary to condemn
any land for the right of way of the
proposed Waikiki Beach promenade
with the exception of the Seaside
Hotel and Heinie's Tavern, both OF
which project out over the beach.
Both buildings evidently trespass over
the shore line.
This Is one of the important fea.
lures of the promenade survey report
being considered this afternoon by the
hoard of harbor commissioners. The
report was written by Engineer L, G..
King, assisted by other engineers OF
the public works department, working
under supervision of Supt Charles r..
Forbes.
Kings report recommends com
bination concrete promenade to cost
$93,198 He offers estimates of costs
of other types OF promenade, ranging
from $76,170 down to $32.291.
The promenade as proposed com
mences at Fort De Russy and con
.tinues along the beach to the public
baths, distance of 6400 feet. The
design recommended in the report pro-
vides seawall to encourage accretion,
stairways allowing bathers access to
the bathing beaches, and the walk
proper to be In general below the tops
of existing walls.

onded by Representative MARQUEE
who as chairman of the education
committee, said the resolution had
been carefully considered and was be-
lieved to be O. good one
Lyman Leads Attack
Lyman then offered his resolution
and supported 1t in lengthy talk on
the floor. He wanted to know why a
survey could not just as we'll be madS
at home.
Our educational system is not IN
to a first-class standard he asserted,
in effect. Il say close up the College
of Hawaii and send cur children 70
the states to receive college ede.
cation A lot of money is spent on
the college and only two or three are
graduated each year. Why run a
bluff and have 4 survey? Our children
can get a better education in the
states than they can here at home.
Andrews supports Measure
Another stanca supporter of the res.
olution was representative Lorrin An
drews, who explained that the commits.
sion would tell the people OF Hawaii
in most kindly way just where the
faults in the school system lie, if there
are any Af.er this expert opinion is
received, he SAL, the department of
public instruction can take the matter
in hand and work to remedy the de-
fects.
Repres sntatiye Walsh spoke in IA
vor OF the resolution, declaring. in OPP
position to Lyman's amendment, that
the most important part of the edu-
cation of q child 3 in the grades. He
admitted, he added, that the present
school system is not good, but said
that survey would lie a means of
wipfng out the defects.
Repras sutatiye Robert Ahuna also
spoke in favor of the resolution.
At the conclusion of the debate,
when the question of finances was
raised, representative Cooke explain
ed that Kameh1meha, Mid-Pacific In.
stitIte and Oalu College already have
offered to assist i'm defraying the ex-
penses Of the survey He added that,
If the legislature appropriates no
money for lnv survey, little il any
trouble will be experienced in raising
the money from other local sources.
The question was then put to vote

substance:
Il have had good many Inquiries
as to whether this resolution Is aimed
at the teachers now employed, and l
want to emphatically state that II 1

Will Help, Not criticise
1T has offered to come here and
make a survey Of our schools, not to
criticize, but to help. This is the big
