Auditor Fisher has just completed a
task which falls to few men to UNDER
take, the designing, preparation and
publication of a complete set of books
and blanks for all the offices of a Coun-
ty government.
In most places counties have acquir-
ed their system of books and blanks
their records and financial system,
through a process Of growth. But with
the Introduction of County government
here, this system of accounts, books
and blanks, had to come full panoplied
from the brow of Jove, and in this case
Auditor Fisher was the Jove.
The County act provided that the au-
ditor should design and provide all the
forms, books and blanks needed to car
ry out the act and to supply the first
set Of County officers with them. Cen
eral objections were given as to what
these books and BLANKS should contain.
Auditor Fisher employed Henry Davis
to study out the details of the law ap-
plicable to the subject and devise a sys-
tenn that would comply with the la 2,
be efficient and easily workable Sim
plicity was one of the characteristics
that Mr.. Fisher insisted on To meet
the requirements of the law and the
conditions of use a series of eight diff
ferent sets of books for as many, Offices
and as many sets of blanks had to be
devised The experience of tho Terri

bond from him until the bond has been
decided upon ID this board"
Then do I understand" asked Colonel
Iaukea that this board refuses to ac-
cept the bond that 1 tender under the
law, to them?"
THE chair rules" said Mr.. Hooking
that there is no such thing as a bond
before it and you will have to cOnfine
yourself to the matter under discussion
which is the question of the amount of
the bond to be required"
"Then is it a matter of record" per-
sisted Colonel Iaukea that this board
refuses to accept my bond for $50, 0,0O0?"
Question" demanded Mr.. Gilman.
II am perfectly willing to listen to
Mr.. Iaukea" said Mr.. Lucas and
would be glad to have him give his
reasons why his bond should not be
fixed at $15000O but he must confine
himself to the question before this
board"
Colonel Iaukea accepted the newt
able and then asked permission to ad
dress the board on Mr.. Lucas motion.
This was granted. Colonel Iaukea
then proceeded to give some figures
fromSthe collections made last year by
the tax office. He claimed that it was
unjust to him 20 require such a large
amount for bond. He insisted that
the largest amount collected at any
one day during the last four days Of
collection that november had been
$685. 3SS.75. The avera~ for real and
personal property ,ax was only S55, 946
while the Income tax average $24, 700.
Under the new law these taxes would
never be collected at the same time a
gain as one would be collected in June
and another in November so that
there would not again be as large a
day scollection as S95, ,3SS.75. He pledg-
ed himself to turn over to the treasurer
every night the receipts of each day
and claimed that under these circum-
stances, it was unfair for the board to
require a bond that was out of all
proportion to the amount of probable
receipts.

By a vote of four to three the super
visors this afternoon fixed the bond of
assessor Iaukea at $15O,OOO The mo-
tion to make it $50 900 was voted down
by Supervisor Hooking, Gilman, Lucas
and Robinson. The sum of S150,000
was fixed by the same vote. BY the
same vote also, the board chose Henry
c. Vida Road supervisor, to succeed
Charles Wilson. Supervisors Harvey
Mahoe and Kealoha voted for James H.
Boyd.
The afternoon session of lie Board
of Supervisors was much livelier than
the morning session The consider
alton of the amount of the bond
of the county treasurer was the first
matter consldered. Mr.. Gilman NOV
ed that it be fiXe by the board at
$3.50, 900. Mr.. --arvey moved to amend
this to $4,000. There was considerable
discussion. Considerable interest was
taken in the vote as it was supposed
to indicate whether Mr.. Hooking would
rule with the Home Rulers on the
matter. The amendment was voted
down by strict party vote however
Mr.. Hooking voting to kill the amend-
ment. On the original motion the
same vote in favor of it prevailed and
the bond of the treasurer was therefore
fixed at $3.50, 900.
The matter of the bond of c. p.
Iaukea the tax collector and assessor
elect was then taken up Mr.. Lucas
moved that the bond be fixed at $780,
900. Mr.. Gilman seconded this mo-
tion.
Before the board takes any action
said Colonel Iaukea "I would like to be
heard on the matter. 1 would like to be
tender my bond which I have a right
to do under the law and to say some
thing as to why it should be accepted" !"
THE bond is not before this board"
said Mr.. Gilman. -"I am opposed to Mr..
Iaukea taking unless he confines him
self to the question under consideration
I am willing that he should speak but
1 don't propose to have any bond forced
on us here. We cannot receive any

A BIG JOB

torial offices of similar duties was
sought and availed of. The books in
use were carefully examined The re-
suit is a series of books and a system
of accounts which it IS believed can be-
carried out by any official of average
good sense and education, and yet will
meet all the requirements both of sta
tistical information and eX Xtct account
ing. The form is very simple. For
every office that receives money from
every source, the books are provided
with columns with appropriate head
ings, so that if each item of receipts is
entered as it is received in it's appro-
pirate column it is only a question OF
addition to get at either the financial
or statistical results.
After the form of the books and the
blanks were designed, came the work Of
getting them printed and bound. The
resources of the various printing off,
ces of the city, particularly Of the Star
and the Gazette company, were called
into requisition. The result was that
the books and blanks for all the couu-
ties were ready in perfect order for de-
livery in time. Those for West Ha-
waii were the first to be sent. They
wenl by the Mauna Loa on Christmas
Day. For the other three counties ous-
side Of Oahu, the books and blanks

In last Saturdays Star it was stated
that the agency, of Olaa and Puma had
been transferred to H. F. Allen of San

the transaction is, that it is only the
assignment to Mr.. Allen of a part in
terest in the Agency Contract, when it
was taken over by The Dillingham;
Company from Alexander and Baldwin
in 1899, by which Mr.. Allen became CO.

CHOICE OF
THE BOARD

A. Hooking was elected chairman of
the Board of Supervisors this morning.
He defeated J. A. Gilman who had been
unanimously endorsed for that position
by the Republican County Committee
and also by three out of four of the Re-
publican supervisors The vote stood
four ballots for Hooking and three for
Gilman. Some declared that it was i
bolt by Hooking as he had been elected
by his own and the votes of the Home
Rulers. However, Hooking in taking
the office, said he had been elected on a
Republican ticket, took the office as a
Republican, and would remain one.
Nothing beyond the organization and
approval of some of the bonds of the
various county officers was transacted
at the meeting this morning. ]. M. Ke-

The treasurer saw County Clerk Muir
ray and Assessor Iaukea both this
morning. The bond Of the former was
duly accepted, and kepoikai was only
awaiting an official notice that Murray
was qualified, to take receipt from
him for the public property in the Of
flee of the registrar. Kepoikai will not
turn anything over to Iaukea, he
states, until the Board Of Supervisors
declares Iaukea qualified.

YANKEE MARINES LANDED.
Sent to Protect Belgian Legation
at Taneier.
ADMIRAL TAKES GLOOMY VIEW.
The Sultan Aecedes to the Demands
Of Bandit Raisuli for Release
Of Captives.

American marines have been landed
at Tangier for the protection of the
Belgian legation. Disorders have
broken out in the commercial capital
of Morocco and Admiral Chadwick, as
the commander of the larges. force on
the scene, dispatched armed force as
an act OF humanity and international
comfy. The landing was reported to
the Navy Department at Washington
by a cipher message. Not all of 1t
was made public. The part that was
withheld contains information as to
conditions in the Moorish city that II
was not deemed advisable to give out.
It is known that the Admiral takes
a gloomy view of the state of affairs
and indirectly leaves the impression
on the minds OF officers of the navy
and State Department that serious
work is probably ahead for the entire
force under his command.
The request for a force was made to
Consul General Gummere by the Bel
gian diplomat. II is the understand
ing here that the Belgian legation is
outside of the city in the hills, where
the tribesmen have been making raids
ever since the exploit of Rasuli in
capturing Perdicaris and Narley.
Consul General Gummere has COM
municated in an unofficial manner
report sent him by the British Consul
at Fee. the holy capital of the Sultan,
that Abdul A=iz has agreed to the
terms imposed by the bandit chief.
Gumme:e has no confirmation of the
report.
The terms of ransom in brief are:
Amnesty for all offenses committed
by him and his followers; independ-
ence of his followers in a prescribed
way to be guaranteed by the with
drawal of the Sultan's troops and the
assurance of France and Great Britain
that the Sultan will perform his prom
ises, and finally the payment of $685.
600 in gold for the release of the cap
tives.
The United States will not agree to
the terms. although it has no objec-
tion to the payment of ransom by the
Sultan or alienation OF his rights, but
it objects to a grant of amnesty to the
bandit. This Government wants Raisuli
punished by the Sultan, although 1t
will not insist upon it if the Sultan
prefers to pay an indemnity for the
offense against the United States.
