I'm regard to your Honor's charge to
the Grand jury relative to the gross
immortality amongst members of the
police force of Waiuku, the Grand
jury appointed a committee of six to
investigate these matters, and such
committee has reported to the Grand
jury. We attach herewith the report
of said committee, and embody it as a
part Of our final report.
COMMITTEE REPORT.
"The recommendation by that COM
mittee in regard to the members of
the police force, your Grand jury tho
roughly endorsed, and would ask the
court to use it's jurisdiction to have this
recommendation carried out
1T is evident to this Grand jury
that the police force of Waikiki are
very slack in their duties There have
been complaints made by citizens living
here in Waikiki in regard to many
annoyances which is claimed have been
reported to the heads of the police
force, but no action seems to have been
taken in the matter.
THE police force is for the protec-
ton of thee public, and it is the duty of
that department to see that the people
are not insulted or annoyed by the mis-
conduct of others.
There is also a matter of estrays in
the public streets, whereby private citi-
zens have been annoyed, and their
property destroyed, and it would seem
to this Grand jury that it is the part
streets are kept clear from these wan
derng animals.
POLICE LACK DISCIPLINE.
THE whole police force of this cir
cult shows a lack of discipline.
There has been a complaint made to
this grand jury about government Of
ficials receiving more salary than al
lowed by law. We have investigated
this matter, and find that there are no
grounds for complaint.
THE Grand Jury has spent consider
able time in investigating the books
and accounts of the Clerk of this
court. We have found everything in
most unsatisfactory state, and as
your Honor charged us yesterday, we
would request that the court direct
and order the auditor of the govern
ment to examine all the records and ac-
counts of the office under suspicion ac-
cording to law. We also recommend
that the clerk of the court be suspend
ed from all official duties, until such
time as the books and accounts are
found to be in order
This Grand jury would respectfully
call the courts attention to the fact
that in past terms the grand juries
have met made reports, recommended
tions, etc, which have been entirely
ignored. If this is going to be con-
tinued, it is useless for the government
to go to the expense of having a Grand
jury to investigate public matters.
1.-The thing, as it Is at present, Is
nothing more or less than a complete
farce.
Just who is to blame for these things
we do not know, but We would ask this
honorable court to have it brought to
the attention of the proper officials,
and as far as possible have the recon-
mendations of the Grand juries carried
out.
BILLS UNPAID.

| Honor's attention to the fact that the
