to make gardens. The park was look
ing' better now than for years.
Carter said $12,000 was not enough to
keep the park in order.
It the Legislature would appropriate
enough money to put water on the
buids there it could be properly main
tained, otherwise it had better be abol
ished. 'Achi said there were but twenty-rive
?ays more of the extra session to run.
If the Legislators went on as at pres
ent the world would laugh and say it
was an incompetent body of so-called
lawmakers, if with a regular ses
sion of sixty days and an extra session
of sixty days they could not pass a
single bill wbJih amounted to anything.
Paris said the park money was drawn
in a lump sum. was 'paid out the same
way, and "there was no way of telling
liow it was spent. The Superintendent
of'Public Works had so informed him.
Cecil Brown denied the statement. A
detailed account of the expenditures
was made every year.
The report was finally adopted up
on motion of pecil Brown.
SENATE REPORTS.
Senator Russel Introduced the fol
lowing resolution yesterday afternoon,
which was placed on file:
Whereas, the two roads, Piihonua and
Kaaumanu, respectively, built by Olaa
Sugar Company and the Portuguese Mill
in the District of Hllo, Hawaii, are of
public utility, as witnessed by the two
.respective petitions; be it
Resolved, by the Senate of this Terri
tory. That the sum of $7,000 be inserted
In the Appropriation bill for the redemp
tion of the Piihonua branch and $2,000 for
the two miles of the Kaaumanu road.
The following report was read by
Senator Carter:
The Ways and Means Committee, to
whom was referred certain items in the
Appropriation bttl, under current ex
penses of tin- Territorial Department,
beps to report as follows:
Item 412, incidentals. Treasurer's of
fice, $11,000. This item covers the cost of
stationery, books, etc., of this office, but
as this Department no longer keeps the
books of the Government all that being
transferred to the Auditor the commit
tee believes that this item can be mate
rially reduced, and therefore recommends
that it be reduced to $5,000.
Item 413, expense of shipping Hawaiian
silver coin in return for American silver,
$20,000. Congress has not yet ordered the
Hawaiian silver coin redeemed, and we
see no reason why the expense of this
should be bdrne by the Territory, and
therefore recommend that this item be
stricken out.
Item 415, for discount on mutilated or
abraded coin, $5,000. This item, also, is
not needed until Congress has made a
demand upon the Territory to pay for
the redemption of the silver coin of the
Republic of Hawaii, and your committee
therefore recommends that it be stricken
out of the bill.
Item 416, interest on bonded debt, com
mission and exchange, $500,000. The com
mittee finds that the bonds of the Re
public of Hawaii, held in England, have
all been redeemed by the United States
Government, and it will be no longer nec
essary to pay exchange upon interest due.
I The public debt has been reduced to
something under a million dollars, but
' the Treasurer is obliged, under the law,
to pay 5 per cent interest on the war
rants that are outstanding, and, there
fore, your committee recommends that
this item be passed as follows: Interest
'on bonds and warrants, $200,000.
Item 417. Incidentals, tax office, $11,500.
Under this head will come the extras
necessary in establishing the income tax,
and your committee believes it should
not be reduced, and recommends that it
pass as in the bill.
Item 418, incidentals, registrar of con
veyances, $2,800. Under this item the reg
, istrar purchases card indexes cases, in
dex books, stationery and supplies, and

Following this, came the report of
the committee on educational matters.
Mossman was chairman of the cumnlit

ods of paying the teachers of the pah

MORNING SESSION.
The first interesting event of the
morning, after the House concluded to
convene was a resolution, which read
i
following itemized list of teachers in the
employ of the Board of Education and
the salaries received by each of them
per annum, which shows how this
amount is made up. But owing to the
irregularities of the apportioning of the
salaries among the teachers of apparent
ly the same grade andhe appointing of
assistants in the various schools without
regard to the number of pupils, as your
committee find it on further inquiries,
your committee cannot but recommend
that these different salaries be consider
ed before this sum is passed or amended.
WM. MOSSMAN.
S. H. HAAHEO.
J. K. HIHIO.
After this nothing more was done,
and an adjournment was proposed un
til o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
When the House met at 1:30, Makai
nai made a verbal report for the com
mittee of finance. He said that the
cost of printing the journal would be
between $2,100 and $2,400, and he did
not feel for a certainty that the House
wished to expend such a sum. The re
port was laid on the table for future
consideration.
The salaries of teachers was passed
as they stand at present. There was
considerable objection to this on the
part of Mossman, but it was carried
through almost unanimously. The sal-
: ary of the superintendent of the boys'
school of the reform school was placed
I at $3,600.
The position of a matron for the
I girls' reform school and a teacher for
i the same, were referred to a special
committee. Dickey said that the need
! of a reform school for girls was one of
' the ciwing necessities of the Islands.
The boys could be sent to an Institu
tion expressly for them, but there was
no way of providing for wayward girls
except to send them to prison.
I Kaniho spoke in favor of establish
' ing a school of a reformatory nature
j for girls. While it was true that a
' law had not been passed to establish
such a place, there were several char
! itably inclined people in Honolulu who
j were willing to build such a building.
) The items in the bill had better not
j be disturbed, he suggested. Dickey
I also spoke along the same line.
' The salary of the matron for the
, girls' school was made $2,400, instead of
?1,S00. The salary of the superinten
dent of the boy's reform school was
placed at the same figures.
The salaries of the teachers of the
' girls' school was placed at $1,800. For
the boys' school, $3,600. The guards
were appropriated $3,600.
Section 2 of the act providing for
appropriations for the succeeding bi
ennial period was then read.
This portion of the act provides for
the appropriating of public funds. The
legislators wished to prevent the using
of public funds by the Territory In
discriminately. Emmeluth, who had not ripped the
Territory up the back for forty-eight
hours, criticised the government mild
ly by saying that no matter what was
appropriated, the present regime would
run iiv debt.
Upon a vote, the amendment to make
the act read "auditor," instead of
"treasurer," was carried.
Emmeluth offered an amendement to
the appropriation act, that prevented
any person holding more than one or
nce, should draw the salary or but
one position.
Hoogs had a humorous spell, and
moved that the entire bill be passed
upon its present, the fifth reading,
i Makekau said the measure under
, discussion would conflict with the Gov
, ernor's remuneration. He was Gover
i nor, and also head of the military, as
; well. Makekau continued further by (
saying that it was dangerous to the
best interests of the country. Dickey '
said that many of the small offices in
! the Territory were in the same con- j
dition as Governor Dole. The light- 1
houses all over Hawaii are given to
men, many of whom get two salaries.
, Dickey suggested that it should be
' only when one of the salaries was over
$1,800, that the occupant of two posi
tions should be prohibited from araw-
! ing more than one salary. Emmeluth's
amendment was lost, and Makekau
t was happy.
The Treasury Department came In
for consideration next. This was the
fifth time that this department was be
ing considered. Makekau moved that
with the exception of the salary of the
treasurer, which be placed at $6,000,
the figures of Governor Dole be ac
cepted. Emmeluth moved that the appropria
tion bill pass third reading. Prender
gast said he would be in favor of tills,
if the Governor's figures were accept
ed. Makekau said that the position of
license inspector should be retained.
Makekau said he was almost positive
that Governor Dole was going to give
them another extra session, and It
would be a good thing then, to pass a
law making all the stores in the Ter
ritory pay license. Dickey said It
would be time enough to consider this
matter when the next extra session
came.
The salary of the stenographer and
typewriter to the Treasurer was reduc
ed to $1,800.
The salary of the assessor of Ha
waii was made $5,000. Mossman made
one Of his "color line" effusions.. He
has changed the last few days from
talking about the "poor man" to the
color line. He wanted the- salaries of
clerk, indexer, copyists, messenger, al
so the clerk's salary for indexing, re
duced. Emmeluth said that there was com
plaint that clerks of many of these de
partments did not draw all that wus
coming to them in the matter of sala
ries. He said that the Legislature
should see that each and every clerk
secured the salary provided for by
law.
Mossman said that in one depart
ment a copying clerk had been em
ployed, and in order to pay him, the
salaries of the other clerks had been
cut, in order that the salary of the
special clerk might be made up to him.
Emmeluth then called attention to
the fact that the indexer in the regis
trar of public conveyances was draw
ing two salaries by holding two posi
tions. There was duplicity being prac
ticed, said the haole Independent in
conclusion.
Prendergast said that Representative
Kumalae had held a public clerkship,
and was being paid $60 a month. He
asked for a raise in salary and It was
refused. Kumalae left, and In a few
days, a haole, who had not been In the
country three months, was put In, and
paid $100 for the same work. In addi
tion, the new man's handwriting was
so bad that no one could read it. Pren
dergast said that so far as the color
of a man's skin was concerned, he had
nothing to say. We are all Ameri
cans, no matters whether the skin be
white or red. To show such rank
favoritism was, however, an injustice.
At the hour of. 4 the House adjourn
ed until 10 o'clock tqis morning.
