IAUKEA'S BOND IS NOT
ACCEPTED BY THE BOARD

/ following letter from the Attorne.
| General was read:
Honolulu, Jan. s, 1904.
Gentlemen: The Rev. H. Manase ha
been chaplain at the Oahu prison 70
/ the last six months, under salary, pro
vided by the Legislature, of s25 pc
month.
The appropriation is dispensed Will
! under the eighteen months bill, and i
therefore remains with the County
! whether he shall be reemployed at rht
County Jail. To the best of my knowl-
edge, the Rev. Mr.. Manase has per
formed valuable services during his in
cumbency at the Jail.
Yours truly,
(Signed) LORRIN ANDREWS.
The letter was placed OH file.
Mr.. Mahoe wanted Mr.. Manase APP
salary The chair did not think the
county, but the Territory, should pay.
Mr.. Harvey said that once the door
was opened by the Supervisors del
uge of offices would be forced upon
the county, and the latter would have
to foot the bills.
Mr.. Harvey thought prayer a good
thing and thought the Supervisors ses-
sions should be opened with call up
on the Almighty to bless the meet
ings. Mr.. Lucas suggested that Mr..
Harvey take upon himself this duty,
and Mr.. Harvey accepted the post.
The Manase matter was then consid
cred and on a motion to appoint him
as Jail chaplain, the matter was voted
down.
An adjournment was then taken to
2 p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The bond of Curtis Iaukea was
brought up at the opening of the aft
ernoon session, Judge Whiting present
ing it in person. Mr.. Iaukea was also
present, and the audience chamber was
filled with spectators. Chairman Hook
ing gave Judge Whiting anIopportunity
to make, whatever explanation regard
ing the bond he desired. The latter
handing the bond to the chairman
said:
1--WE have a bond here of which I in
formed you yesterday. It has a stamp
on it as required by law, and if there
is any inforrnality in the bond I would
like to be told of it, and would like to
know if it can be cured
81 have, however, to record change
in regard to the bond. That is in the |
case OF DR.. McGrew, who had signed |
himself on the bond for $4,000 He |
n hi
out his swearing he had any property. |
He has, therefore, not qualified on this /
bond. There are however, bondsmen |
IS surety for 100000, with $3.50 600 as
principal. The others have qualified.
going into details it would be
better for me to say that DR.. McGrew
las not qualified. Mrs. Parker has
gone on the bond for s25, 600 instead of
Is, 900. 1t is now a question as to
whether the bond is in legal form,
eady for approval
Mr.. Gilman moved that the bond be
unlimited to the District Attorney for
N opinion as to whether the bond
vas in proper legal form, the opinion
o be in writing. This was seconded. |
Kealoha was of the opinion the bond
f Iaukea should go through the same !
orrn as the others already passed up
n.
The chair stated that the Iaukea {
ond was more complicated than any {
f the others. The others had in many
asses, been taken up by the surety i
ompanies. He demanded an opinion =
rom the District Attorney on the in
rant. In response to the chairs state I
lent that Iaukea's bond was different. ]
-ealoha asserted that it was similar. +
he chair again stated that no such +
0nd had yet been before the Board. | .
he others had been for the full ,
mount of the bond, that of Taukea ,
allied for individual amounts, as he 6
it.
Mahoe was of the same mind as
eaIoha. He also demanded that the :
istrict Attorney make immediate re-
y on the bond. He put his suggestion
the form of a motion. He said that
le bond was thoroughly understood. n
