THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER: HONOLULU, MAY 6, 1S9S. i - n 1 -. i .i . w An Important Notice To Whom.... This May Concern . E feel that we are the servants ot the public, because the public supports us and pays us, with our yearly profits, for the services which we render them. Like good servants, we are not content unless we render to our patrons the very best service possible and all which that implies. While the support which we have received in the past has been most gratifying and would lead us to believe that we have been giving satisfaction, we are satisfied short of nothing that is not an improvement on the past. We and the buyers of our various depart ments have scoured the markets of the world in order that we may this Spring place before our patrons everything in the way of men's, boy's and children's apparel which is best, newest and most serviceable, at the lowest price consistent with the high standard de manded of us. Our Spring Stock is now ready for your in spection, so without further ado or blare of trumpets we ask you, at your convenience and leisure, to inspect our Spring offerings and pass judgment upon them today, tomor row, or whenever you choose.

IEAD AlBVhBfl A. iiAdf I Mmm XX a Minister Cooper made the following answer to questions propounded by Rep. Gear, regarding the supply of water from the Government pipes in Kalihi: "I beg to say that the Superintend ent of Water Works informs me that some of the residents at Kalihi, are unable to obtain water from the Gov ernment mains for several hours dur ing the day. "He gives as his reason the fact that the mains are so small and the consequent friction so great that it is impossible for the privilege holders at the far end of Kalihi to obtain water at times, the pressure having been ex hausted during the regular irrigation hours by those living nearer the city. These irrigation hours are from 6 to S a. ra. and from 4 to 6 p. m. "Should the Legislature pass the ne- . . 3 cessary appropriation it is proposeu to increase the size of these mains in the near future. "Should the Legislature pass the ap- proiation for an extra engineer, the present pumping plant would be run day and night which will greatly re- ieve the privilege holders in that dis trict. "The only appropriation asked for by the Government is $05,000 for addition to pipe system." These answers together with the questions that called them forth were referred to the Committee on Public ands. Minister Cooper announced signing by the President of House bill 23, re- ating to Circuit Judges and House bill 24, relating to Penal Code and enal Laws. Rep. Robertson reported conference of the Joint Judiciary Committees of the House and Senate on House bill 35, relating to the descent of prop erty of deceased persons, recommend ing certain amendments. Report adopted. Rep. Loebenstein presented the re port of the Committee on Public Lands on House bill 75, relating to the con struction of railways, recommending indefinite postponement. Report laid on the table to be considered with the bill. Rep. Achi introduced a resolution asking for an appropriation for the building of a new road from" the old to the new roads to connect with Ho naunau. Rep. Kaai introduced a resolution to the effect that Tuesday and Friday be ginning with May 10th, be set aside for the consideration of the appropria tion bill and that this be made the special order of the day for those days Rep. Kaai arose and gave his ideas on the matter of the slackness of the House in its work. There were but a few more days to the session and, to all appearances, the work was still piled up. Items in the appropriation bill had been referred to committees and since the time of being referred had been resting very quietly. Items would be brought up at the end of the session, members would wish to delay consideration and these would go by the frequent absence of Reps. Richards and Pojrue from the House. He had private interests at his home but had made up his mind to stay in Honolulu at his duty. If men such as Richards and Paris knew they would have to he absent from the House so often thev should not have run for mem bers. Rep. Robertson stated that the remarks of Rep. Kaai were fraught w?th truth ns well as eloauence. It was a fact that the House was behind in its work and an attempt to catch up should be made. The resolution was defective in that it was vague He would move to amend by making the act to be considered. Senate bill appropriations for salaries and pay rolls. Rep. Achi moved to further amend by requiring the committees to rcrort on various items on or before next Tuesday. The resolution ant amendment? carried.
