The largest increase is with the Board
of Education and this is owing to in
creased salaries under the new act passed
last winter and other expenses relating to
school repairs. In the Fire Board some
very necessary repairs are needed to some
of the houses, one house in the Twelfth
ward needing alone about $500. Since the
Fire Board has record for moderate de-
mands it will probably get what it asks.
There will be an increase in the Street
and Water Boards estimate for num-
Der of reasons, and also a small one in
the Tax Commissioners estimates, ne
cessitated in preparing records and other
urgent expenses. For the Police Board
more men are needed and consequently
that means bigger payroll.
The Board of Aldermen have requested
the Board of Finance for an extra N,5Oo
to buy an ambulance for the conveyance
of INDECENT poor and to pay driver. So

to. fall short of sl5O,0O0 which the Finan-

PETITION FROM THE PROPERTY
HOLDERS.
Want the Pauoa and Booth Roads Put
in Proper Repair to Meet Increased
Traffic.

From the tram cars to the electric

Honolulu II. r, Dec 7th, 1900.
Hon. j. A. McCandless,
Supt. of Public Works, City.
Sir: The undersigned petitioners
respectfully represent and show that
they are the owners of property locat-
ed upon Pacific Heights, that a num-
ber of them are actual residents upon
the property at the present time, and
many are contemplating the improve
ment of their holdings within a very
short time; that by reason of the large
expenditure of money already made in
Improvements upon said Pacific
Heights property the assessable value
for taxation purposes has been very
greatly increased, as will appear by
reference to the records in the office of
the Tax Collector.
Your petitioners respectfully further
show that there has been little or no
money expended by the Government in
the improvements made upon said pro-
perty, or on any of the roads, streets
or highways approaching the same
that at the present time the condition
of the Pauoa and Booth Roads, which
Heights, are in an extremely bad con-
| dition for foot travel, there being no
/ sidewalks or other conVeniences there
! on: that there is, at the present time
! and likely to be for a long time to
come, a very large number of persons
| passing to and fro over said roads be-
! tween Nuuanu street and the Electric
/ Railway terminal on Kaiulani Drive;
! that there is likely to be a considerable
| increase in the traffic by wagons ovei
said roads in the hauling and trans

merchandise: that Pauoa Road anC
! Booth Road are very poorly and in
adequately lighted and additional
| lights are necessary;
Wherefore you petitioners would re-
spectfully request that your depart
ment take immediate steps to wider

other travel, and will establish, cree
and maintain suitable lights for light

CALLED TIE CONSUL DOWN MNAILANI GOES ASHORE
CHINESE SOCIETY JUMPED ON
YANG Wal PIN.
Resented His Attempt to Dictate How
The Benevolent Fire Funds Should be
Disposed Of

The disposition of the remaining
funds raised by the Chinese Relief So
city for the benefit of sufferers from
the fire, was the cause for a lively ses-
sion of the United Chinese Association
last night. Consul Yang Wal Pin at
tempted to dictate to the members of
the Cuited Association how the funds
should be Used His suggestions were
not received with favor and in addition,
his attempt to dictate to the members
was resented in forcible manner
About $4,000 yet remains and when
the benevolent society went out of ex-
stence, having no charter, the funds
were turned over to the United Asso-
citation. When the meeting was called
last night the Consul planted himself
in the presidents chair and proceeded
to dictate how the funds should be dis
posed. To say that his terms were not
satisfactory would be inadequate.
Practically every member there became
furious when he saw the high handed
manner in which the Consul was at
tempting to run things. In addition
to usurping the seat of the president,
the Consul did not show the society the
proper respect by rising when he ad-
dressed the body and moreover, he
was ordering the members what they
should do with the funds, when many
of them had entirely different views
regarding the matter.
The general sentiment seemed to be
that the funds should be divided among
the various Chinese charitable socie-
ties and used for such purposes as the
/ occasion required. When the COnsu
attempted to conduct the meeting as il
he was a dictator the people rebelleo
+ and told him very pointedly that he
! was not a member of the society anC
| he had absolutely no right to attempt
! to tell the members how to dispose oi
! the funds. If he wanted to have GER
! tain action taken he could have it pre-
/ sented through the medium of some
| regular members of the organization
| 1t was also suggested that when per
sons addressed the meeting it was Gus
/ tomary for them to rise not remain
seated during their discourse.
| In answer Yang Wal Pin fell bacl
upon his official dignity and said tina
he was the Consul and what he salt
had to 20. He wanted the funds dis
posed of as he has suggested and tina
was all there was to it. This AFRO
giant manner of answering aroused tn
members to great indignation and tn
Consul was plainly informed that hi
room was preferable to his views an
dictation. The Vice-president was ask
led for his views upon the subject Du
he declined to take any SIDES so upo
motion of one of the members an ad
iournment was taken until next Fri
day when a full attendance of tn
members will be secured and the dis
position of the funds finally determined
