HOUSE MAY BACK
DOWN REGARDING
CONTINGENT FUND
Committee is Reported Consii-
ering Restoring Provisions it
Was Ordered to Delete

One radical change that may bt
made by the house finance committee
in the appropriation bill is the taking
of the So-caled emergency fund out
OF the hands of the treasurer and plac'
ing il under the power of the governor
it'll certain restrictions.
Such an action would be practically
restoration Of the old contingent
fund with an addition of 10000. but
under the plan which 1t is reported
the house financiers are considering,
the governor. in disbursing the fund
would be under restriction to far
greater extent than in the handling OF
former contingent funds.
Some Restrictions Favored
Chairman G. H. Cooke said yester.
day that plan along this line was
being discussed by the committee, add
ing, however. that no definite decision
had been reached one way or the
other. Earlier in the session the f.
nance committee, in a resolution in
troduced at the instance Of Speaker
Holstein was directed to delete the
governors contingent fund from the
appropriation bill. ........
Representative Petrie, member of
the finance committee, says it is i'm
material to him whether the emery
ency fund is handled by the governor
or the treasurer. He adds that, should
the governor have the power of ex-
penditure, he would favor the chief
executive being placed under proper
restrictions; in other words, he would
not favor giving the governor as free
a rein as in the past.
Lyman Favors Absolute Control T..
That the governor should be allowed
a contingent fund is the contention Of
Representative Lyman who believes
that the so-called emergency fund
should be placed absolutely under the
control of the chief executive.
So far as can be learned, Espresen-
tative Miles is the only member OPP
posed to the reported plan to shift
the fund from the treasurer to the
governor.
Special Commission Might Cover
Representative Walsh has intro
duced in the house bill authorizing
the governor to appoint commission
Of seven citizens which, among other
things, shall have the power to- lad
minister any funds appropriated by
this legislature in the biennial appro-
priation bill under the heading of con-
ttngent or emergency fund"
y The personnel OF the commission
shall be three citizens from the city
and county CT Honolulu, two from Ha-
vail. one from Maui and one from
Kauai with the governor as ex officio
chairman.

Makekau Springs His Surprise .
Springing one of the real surprises
of the present legislative session, SEN
ator r. H. Makekau of Hawaii, who
yesterday declared himself opposed to

concurrent resolution petitioning

States and Germany has increased the
need of such prohibition; and y. =
WHEREAS, several bills intended
to accomplish such purpose !aye been
introduced in the. legislature OF this
territory at the present session, and
after careful and extended consideca.
ton have been rejected, largely be-
cause OF contentious that such bills il
enacted into law would be invalid on
account of an alleged want of power
in the legislature to enact the same ulr
der the provisions of the Organic Act
of the territory; and
WHEREAS, insufficient time re-
mains, in the present session of the
le gislature to prepare and enact an
ether bill providing for such prohibit
ton that would be valid in case the
legislature could enact a bill of any
kind that would be adequate for such
purpose and at the same time valid;
NOV, THEREFORE,, BE IT RE-
SOLVED by the senate of the territory
Of Hawaii, the house of representa-
tiyes concurring, that the congress OF

WANT JUDICIARY
BUILDING FOR
new CITY HALL

Y At the request Of Mayor Lane. there
will be introduced tonight at the meet
ing Of the supervisors resolution re.
questing the present legislature to set
aside the Judiciary building as q city
hali at such time as the proposed ter
,ritorial office building Is completed.
ACCORDING to Mayor Lanes plan, the
city hall would. II the request Is grant
ed, become a portion OF the big civic
center which Is beginning to take
shape with preparatory work for the
federal building.
Rent amounting At present up into
the thousands would also be done
away with by the scheme. It Is pre-
sumed that the courts now holding In
the judiciary building would all be
moved to the new federal or terri
torial buiIdiag, the big judiciary struc.
ture being thus LEFT for city offices.
There Is considerable uncertainty
whether the senate ways and means
committee favors placing the new
building In the Capitol grounds or
across King street In new area I'D.
joining the judiciary grounds to pro-
posed purchase by the territory. Sen
ator Coney fayors putting the new
structure In the Capitol yard; Sena-
tors Single and Quinn are heartily
against 1t.
