one H r. Meyer, a commissioned OF
ficer of Molokai, is mail carrier, and
has some business interest in saloon
at Kaunakakai. 1t is the opinion or
this Jury that no one interested in
maintaining a saloon should be allowed
on the police force.
We are further of the opinion that a
District Magistrate in Honuaula, a part
of the Wailuku District, is superfiuous.
and that the policeman for said dis
trict should live in and near the GEN.
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.

POLICEMAN sALooNIsT.

We further consider that the officers
who were present at the time of the
accident To SIr.. Nakuina at KluraLa-
kai showed gross neglect in the per-
Torrance Of their duty. and that they
should be sex erely reprimanded for
such neglect. Rather than let such
disgraceful acts so UNPUBLISHED, 4 clean
sweep should be made and a force OF
officers appointed who will see that
law is enforced and order maintained.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

We consider that the members of the
Wailuku Road Board should have reg
ular stated monthly meetings at which
all members should be present and at
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
quate and should be changed at once.
Iuku Sugar Co.'S track near the Cath
ole Church on Mill street is dangerous
to life, and that the Waikiki Sugar
Company should be compelled to have
either an automatic signal when trains
approach or should station a man there
to make such signals.
We would recommend that the Read
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. g
