LOOK FOR HOT TIME
Warm Session of County Board
Is Expected Mondayao

lively session of the county board
is expected when the county commits
sioners get together Monday morning.
One of the matters which will come
up for consideration will be the
Schroeder livery bill for $81, which he
asks the county to pay on the ground
that the carriages were used by the
county commissioners last year.
Some of the members of the board
favor paying the bill, contending that
the 1veryman had no way of knowing
that the members Of the county board
had no legal authority to order teams
and carriages at the county's expense,
but the county attorneys office. where
the bill was turned down, will insist
that the bill be disallowed ~ /
The action Of Assistant County At
torney O'Neill in refusing to approve
the bill, has aroused the ire of some of
the members of the board, and since
the last meeting two of them have de-
clared that they will go intosthe meet
ing Monday with view of ascertain
ing just how much power the county
attorney has in interfering with the
business of the county commission
ers.
Mr.. O'Neill will stand firm, however.
He says Mr.. Schroeder will never re-
ceive the money unless 1t Is paid to
him by the commissioners who engaged
the carriage
Ramsey county is not going to pay
the bills of county commissioners who
hire carriages for the purpose of cam
paigning the county" said Mr.. O'Neill
yesterday IF they want to ride over
the county on a campaigning tour they
should pay their own livery bills One
thing is sure, the county will never pay
for 1t so long as the county attorney
office Is under it's present management,
no matter how mad the county COM
nissioners get about it."

of the stockholders. Lightfoot gave
an opinion that the action Of the
majority is binding. and could be sci
aside by the minority only upon a
showing of fraud or injury.
HUsTACE WOULD STOP SALE
w. NJ. Cunningham said that there
would be an attempt to prevent the
sale of the plantation. Frank Hus-
tace had told him that he intended
to stop it if he could. He held stock
for himself and as trustee. Larry Dee
said that this couldn't be done with
out a showing of fraud.
Jack Lucas wanted to know whether
the Bishop Estate had been consulted
about the sale of the leases, and was
told by the chair that the consent of
KamaIo stockholders was first neces-
sary. He said also that there was
necessity for all pulling together. He
had seen all the creditors and they
were willing to wait, if there was any
show of getting their money. Other
wise they intended to put the screws
on. and everything might be lost. Mr..
Cunningham said he was willing TO
give an option as asked, but DIDN'T
want the property turned over for two
years unless it was an outright sale.
Dr. Burgess replied that the option
Edmunds didn't raise the money. the
six months option would not be given.
He said further that "Kamalo is far
from dead" and that plantation man
ayers wanted it. Further, if there was
a disposition to pull apart, he wanted
to get down and out. Mr. Crozier,
plantation man, also wanted TO buy it
and had postponed a trip TO Europe
because of this. He had intended to
visit the place with Ahrens of Oahu
and Barkhausen of Lahaina, but a let
ter he received from a former man
ager, Pat Mccain. put a damper upon
his intentions
Mr.. McPhetridge moved to adopt the
proposal of Edmunds as contained in
the directors resolution. He wanted
to know first who Edmunds was, say

Lucas.

The discussion was getting warm
so was Lightfoot, and finally come one
moved to adjourn, which was done in
a hurry.

President Burgess announced that
the $500 execution of the Hawaiian
Hardware Co. would be taken up, DR..
Mouritz agreeing to advance the mon
ey. He had offered to lend it without
interest, but the directors insisted that
he accept nine per cent. Magoon
had also offered to lend the money.
There is in the treasury $4S9.19 and of
this amount 1915 is to be taken to pay

WE HAD BEEN ROBBED. :"

DR.. Mouritz then reported on his
management of the plantation. He
said he took charge to protect him
self, and found the company was be-
ing treated unfairly. 1--WE had been
robbed" he said. He also said Hitch
cock had used the pasture lands for
his own stock, and that he had found
discrepancy in the accounts between
Theo. Meyer and Hitchcock, of 1910.
The office had not been cleared out for
four years, and no care had been taken
of the property. IF it hadn't been
that we had a traitor in camp we
would have had 100000 in cash to-
night" said DR.. Mouritz. He said also
that claims would be made by Hitch
cock which he was prepared to offset.
He had talked with Mr. Weldon and
Manager Watt of Honokaa in regard
to the sale of the plantation
How is the Iantana there?" asked
Jack Lucas.
Il am ready to sell you all you
want" was the reply.
IF there are so many men anxious
to buy, why take up this option of Ed
munds?" asked Craig.
They wouldn't put their offers in
writing" Mouritz returned.
Don't bite very hard Them remark
ed Craig.
Mouritz said that he proposed to
raise the option to s125.O0 and that
some one would make an astonishing
success of Kamalo as sugar planta-
ton. He said he still had faith in it,
DR.. Burgess said Hitchcock still
owed $50, and was asked what had be-
come of the $500 mortgage. He replied
that Hitchcock had sent down the re-
ceipts of Theo. Meyer, with the figures
apparently juggled.
Are we paying counsel anything
asked Cunningham.
Not at present" said Burgess.

DR.. Mouritz replied that several plan

they would be given a chance to come
forward now.

The resolution was finally carried
without dissenting vote. 1t is in the
following form:
