Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1903-06-16

least five days out Of seven looking
after said ranch. We find that this Of
ficer was incapacitated for several
months. that no one was appointed to
perform his duties and that the public
did not suffer during his indisposition;
that he now seldom performs any gov
eminent service, and that his nearest
neighbors are at Halawa at some dis
lance from his present home. We
heartily disapprove Of any member oil
the Police Department being used in
! the private interests OF his superior
officers either directly or indirectly.
We would recommend that this Off
Ger be removed and II an officer Is ne
cessary in that district, that one be
commissioned who resides in or near
some settlement where he may be
reached easily and quickly by any one
in need of his services.
We further consider that the officers
who were present at the time Of the
accident to Mrs. Nakuina at Kaunaka-
kai showed gross neglect in the per-
Torrance Of their duty, and that they
should be severely reprimanded for
such neglect. Rather than let such
disgraceful acts go unpublished, a clean
sweep should be made and a force OF
officers appointed who will see that law
Is enforced and order maintained.
II has further come to our notice that
one II. II. Meyer. a commissioned Of
fcer of Molokai. is mail carrier, and
has some business interest In a saloon
at Kaunakakai. II Is the opinion of
this Jury that no one interested in
maintaining a saloon should be allowed
on the police force.
We are further of the opinion that O
District Magistrate in Honuaula, part
of the Waikiki District is superhuous,
and that the policeman for said dis
trict should live in and near the CEN
ter of the district he serves.
In the case of the prosecution Of a
Chinese in Waikiki said to be out OF
private malice, the Jury, after thor
oughly investigating, has failed to find
a reason for censuring the Waikiki
police.
We consider that the members of the
Waikiki Road Board should have reg
ular stated monthly meetings at which
all members should be present and al
which the public could have a chance
to make complaint. We further con-
slider that the box taking the water
under South Market street is made
quae and should be changed at once
We find that the crossing Of the Wal.
luku Sugar Co.'S track near the Cath
Ollie Church on Mill street is dangerous
to lift, and that the Waikiki Sugar
Company should be compelled to have
either an automatic signal when trains
approach or should station man there
to make such signals.
We would recommend that the ROAD
Board take some action to relieve the
people living along the Mormon
Church road below William Kukona's
place from damage done by water that
comes from the Waikiki Sugar Co.'S
fiume.
1 We finally recommend that our sec
; rotary, David Morton, be recompenset
for his valuable services during oul
sessions at the rate Of SO per day. W.
wish to express our high appreciation
to w. T. Rawlins, Deputy Attorney
General, for his assistance during ouI
Investigations.
Signed this 18th day OF June, 1903.
