The Sergeant-at-Arms announced a message from the Gov MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR. Under a suspension of the Rules, the following message from the Governor was read: A Message to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii: In my message at the beginning of the present session of the Legislature, I called your attention to the probability that the Government would be out of funds several months before property taxes came in, unless the relief suggested in regard to the return of advances from current to loan funds should be afforded by the Legislature. Even if the course suggested should be followed, it is not likely that arrangements could be made in time for the relief suggested. I therefore recommend legislation that shall provide for the payment of property taxes in two installments, whereby the difficulty referred to would be at least partially removed. I have recommended in the Additional Estimates submitted herewith the appropriation of six thousand dollars for the purchase of a piece of land in Nuuanu Valley, 22.93 acres in extent, which takes in about two-thirds of the site of the lower reservoir. This land is held by the Government under a lease which contains an agreement that the Government may purchase the land at any time before the expiration of the term of the lease for the consideration of six thousand dollars. In view of the recent case of bubonic plague in Honolulu, the recommendation for an appropriation of ten thousand dollars for additional health inspectors and possible emergency needs in sanitary matters assumes special importance. I refer a petition and accompanying accounts, forwarded to me from the Quarantine Wharf Committee of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, to the Legislature for its consideration and action. SANFORD B. DOLE. Executive Chamber, April 9th, 1901. To the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii: I herewith submit to your honorable body the following additional estimates for appropriations for the succeeding biennial period. SANFORD B. DOLE.
