Mr.. EMMELUTH IS
FOR EXTRA SESSION
Honolulu, Jan. 10, 1904.


Editor Advertiser: The county bill
| that was, is not, and the question
arises, What are we going to do about
ito"
Immediately after the general cleo
ton in 1900 the Home Rule Executive
Committee proposed, in the public in
terest, that the several parties repre-
scented in the campaign just closed
should appoint members of a committee
to draft county bill for presentation
to the Legislature.
Their kind intentions were at that
time ignored, from motives which it is
unnecessary now to discuss, but is it
not time, in that same public inter-
est" to determine the best means of
meeting the requirements of the situa-
ton and to honestly face the conditions
brought about by the annexation of
these islands to the United States?
In the States and Territories of the
Union county" government is an in
expensive as well as simple means of
formulating and administering laws for
the governance of those residing in the
county.
The poorest man, having the qualifi-
cations to commend him to the elector-
Weather brother in seeking offcr.
Bonds are given by those actually
handling cash, provision is made for
malfeasance in office and it's punish
ment and that is all the check required
on the remaining officers.
The course that appeals to me as the
most consistent to be pursued, is for
the Governor to call the legislature in
extra session for the purpose of maxi
ing Territorial appropriations covering
the remainder of the biennial period
and also to frame and pass a law pro-
viding for the election of commission
from the several representative dis
tricts in ratio to their representation,
the election to take place within sixty
days after passage of the act and the
commission to frame county govern
ment bill together with set of amend
ments to our present law to make same
conform thereto, for presentation to the
next legislature.
1 see by the evening papers that the
Governor is in favor of commission
but of only three members and they
to be appointed. / doubt If the Gov
ernor has the right to make such APP
pointments in the absence of legislation
to that end.
Any partisan commission would mean
another appeal to prejudice at the bal
lot box next November. 1t Is about up
to the voters of this Territory to de-
termine what is best for them and 1t Is
the duty of the Governor and Legisla-
ture to pave the way for the oppor-
tunity by creating an elective commits
sion.
For County Government.

lAUKEA'S BOND IS NOT
ACCEPTED BY THE BOARD

circumstances he thought 1t only fair
and square that he be given time.
Frank Harvey said the eight days
had been taken UP by 1aukea In OBJ
tanning his sureties. However, as he
had obtained the names and the bond
was before the Board he thought 1t a
good idea for the District Attorney to
render an opinion on the instant. If he
decided adversely 1t would give Mr..
Iaukea an opportunity to procure
other sureties to present before the
Board today
On Mr.. Rawlins promising that he
could render an opinion by o'clock
last evening the matter was put to n
vote and carried on that understand
ing.

of the fishmarket, for $1,000. was pre-
scented. One of the sureties was John
E. Bush. After some discussion, 1t was
voted to have n committee consisting
of Messrs. Gilman and Harvey. APP
pointed by the chair, to investigate, Mr..
Bush's property responsibility.
GUARDSMEN WANT WORK.

AFTERNOON SESSION.


AFTERNOON SESSION.
The bond of Curtis Iaukea was

ing it in person. Mr.. Iaukea was also
present, and the audience chamber was
filled with spectators. Chairman Hook
ing gave Judge Whiting an opportunity
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. 1t has a stamp
on it as required by law, and il there
is any informality in the bond l would
like to be told of it, and would like to
know if it can be cured.
II have, however, to record a 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
thought his name was sufficient with
out his swearing he had any property.
He has, therefore, not qualified on this
bond. There are however, bondSmen
as surety for 100000, with s15OOO0 as
principal. The others have qualified
Without going into details it would be
better for me to say that DR.. McGrew
has not qualified. Mrs. Parker has
gone on the bond for $4,000 instead Of
$4,000. 1t is now question as to
whether the bond is in legal form,
ready for approval"
Mr.. Gilman moved that the bond be
submitted to the District Attorney for
an opinion as to whether the bond
was in proper legal form, the opinion
to be in writing. This was seconded.

MORNING SESSION.
At the morning session of the County
Supervisors held at a. m. Curtis Iau-
Ikea failed to show up to present his
bond as Tax Assessor, through some
misunderstanding.
Other matters were taken UP, includ-
ing a communication of w. L. Frazee,
superintendent of the Government
electric light station in Nuuanu, to
which was appended an inventory of
property handed over to him by the
Superintendent of Public Works. The
following letter from the Attorney
General>was read:
Honolulu, Jan. s, 1904.
Gentlemen: The Rev. H. Manaoe has
been chaplain at the Oahu prison for
the last six months, under salary, pro-
vided by the Legislature, of S25 per
month.
The appropriation is dispensed with
under the eighteen months bill, and 1t
therefore remains with the County
whether he shall be reemployed at the
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
pointed as chaplain with a county
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 a 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 a 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 motion to appoint him
as Jail chaplain, the matter was voted
down.
An adjournment was then taken to
2 p. m.
