SUPERVISORS
PASS SALARIES
Continued from page L.

supervisor Lucas moved to increase
the three Circuit Court clerks to 1925
per month, and the second deputy, j.
A. Thompson, to $3.50 per month, but
the motion was defeated.
The salaries of three stenogra pliers
We're fixed at 5000 per month instead
of $50 as had been previously decided
upon. Mr.. Lucas said it was not true
that the stenographers made an album
dance of money outside their regular
work. He said also that competent
stenographers were needed, that Judge
Gear and Judge Humphreys had en-
ployed '.wahine stenogra piers at s125
per month, and one of them couldn't
transcribe her notes and SO the SUI
preme Court couldn't hear an impor-
tant case. He said that experts were
needed, and the men now working had
years of experience. Both lawyers and
judges wanted them retained at the old
salary. Supervisor Gilman supported
the motion, saying that although they
were trying to economize, this was a
case where special work is required
and no retrenchment policy could be
carried out at the expense of the courts
MAHOE IN OPPOSITION.
Supervisor Mahoe opposed the $500
salary, and said that $3.50 was suffi-
cient- He said the Governor wanted
them to retrench, and that if they spent
all their money on salaries, there would |
be nothing left OF the $500 900 for roads |
and bridges. Supervisor Robinson said |
correct court reports were necessary.
and Supervisor Harvey said he was
willing to divide the difference and fix
the salary at S175. He also said that |
outside people had no business to come |
and tell the Supervisors their duty.
Mr.. Lucas suggested calling upon the |
Attorney General, who was present. to \
talk upon the question Of salaries. ,

Report OF City Sanitary Officer
Tracy Discussed by Board
Of Health.

Some discussion was brought forth by
the report of the City Sanitary officer
at the meeting of the Board Of Health
yesterday. Following is the document:
Honolulu, Hawaii, Dec. 81, 1903.
DR.. c. B. Cooper, President Board of
Health.
Sir: Following is the report of the
City Sanitary Officer and Inspector of
Cemeteries for the months Of Noven-
Der and December. 1903.
Owing to the reorganization of the
force during November. it has been
difficult until the present time to make
a report showing any results whatever.
Each inspector was shifted into
new district entirely and lone man was
given entire charge of the one hundred
and fifty hog ranches lying within the
four-n1ile limit; ne also has supervision
of all swill wagons. Another inspector
has charge of all applications of Iodg-
ing houses, hotels and restaurants for
certificates of sanitary condition and
sees to it that each place is sanitary
before approving the certificate. the
inspectors in turn report for special
duty. every afternoon, Saturday and
Sunday included at 1 o'clock. They
are usually detailed TO inspect one or
more cemeteries and see that all burialS
are made at the regulation depth, In
connection with this we are keeping a
complete record of every burial show
ing the time of burial number of collins
exposed or broken open, amount of rock
and water encountered and any other
notes relative to this matter. The fol
low up system of keeping track of the
work done by the inspectors has been
made more perfect and is now mat
ter of record showing the date when
the nuisance was first noted, it's loca-
ton and character, the party response
BILE, the tenants of the premises, the
Inspector to whom the nuisance was
reported for abatement, the date re-
ported upon, and the time the matter |
was finished.
In spite of the two fishmarkets, we
have had more trouble than ever with |
fsh-peddlers. Nine times out of ten
the f1sh hawked about by these men
are those which have lain on the slabs
In the market until practically unsal
able owing to the presence OF fresher
fish, and are then taken by these ped |
dlers and sold about the city. Tnva-
riably these fish are unfit for food. |
Three offenders have been caught |
violating the law by peddling fish and |
we have prosecuted in court and secur-
ed a conviction in each case. One man |

showing that he had a job on plan
tation and was going to work N two
days. The other two were punished
with fines and the costs of court
A new source of trouble which until
the last three months has assumed no
very great proportions is the number
of Iaundries which have been started
principally in the large tenement
houses by japanese. The law requires
that all washing for hire be done at
the Government wash-houses at Iw4iel,
though the ironing may be done any

has forced US to take action, and that
was that in places where there was no

washerwomen allowing the taps 20 run

the last three months the excavator

Very respectfully,

Mr. Winston asked why the inspec-
tors were changed round from one dis

to easily double the coming year, while
the money is pouring in by the mil

the only things. There is a penalty of

ROUTINE MATTERS.


Mr.. Holloway reported that the new
building would be finished about the
end of the month.
Mr. Carter was granted further time
for report on rules for inter-island
shipments.
Mr. Carter reported having received
a request from the department at
Washington for seeds of the laalu palm
and instructed the nurserynlan to coll
lect'them. His action was approved.
Mr.. Holloway submitted an offer
from Mr.. McCullum of 81 each for ero-
tons growing at Kapiolani park. Mr..
Giffard said Mr.. McCullum ought to
have first call on them, as he had
been after them for year. The pres.
ident thought the park itself should
have the first call, if the plants could
be used for beautifying it. Mr.. Gift
fard said the superintendent was talk
ing about getting rid of the crotons, as
they were taking the place of more
valuable growths. The matter was
left with the executive officer.
DISTRIBUTION OF TREES.
c. j. Austin, gardener, sent in a re-
port on the distribution of trees since
his report of November %. The fol-
lowing particulars were given:

Mahoe objected and said the S..,ar
visors had enough experience. Lucas
replied that he was still looking .far
more. and Mahoe retorted that they
could cali on their own stenograpner.
Mr.. Thielen made a statement to the
effect that in the States $500 per month
was the fruIe, and that he had never
done court work for less than that
amoutn. Besides, the regular price for
transcripts was twenty cents per folio,
while the stenographers here We're al
lowed to charge but twelve cents He
also stated that neither Jones nor Hor-
ner would work for S15O per mouth,
and that there We're only four court
stenographers in the islands, and if
these three quit the courts would be tied
up in a knot
The stenographers Were then passed
at 5000 each.
The Interpreters We're fixed as fol-
lows: Two Hawaiian, $50 per month
each: Chinese. $3.50; Japanese, $3.50;
Portuguese, 1925. The salaries formerly
decided upon We're s25 less for each
man.
The salaries of the bailiffs were fixed
at $S5 each. On motion of Mr.. Gilman
an appropriation of $500 per month for
jury fees and incidentals was made for
ten months. Mr.. Gilman suggested
that each judge be allowed $1,000, but
this was considered impracticable
Mr.. Rawlins said he doubted if $500
per month. would be sufficient 70 ray
for three petit juries and a grand jury. |
particularly if the three murder trials |
are held in one month. The appro- |
priation was passed, however, as it |
could be changed at any time. An ad- |
journment until ten o'clock this morn |
ing was then taken.

Proceedings of Board of
Agriculture and
Forestry.

Finances were discussed at the meet
ing of the Board of Agriculture and
Forestry yesterday afternoon. L. A.
Thurston. president; c. S. Holloway,
secretary and executive officer; w. NJ.
Ginard, ]. f. Brown and A. w. Car
ter constituted the meeting.
Mr.. Giffard wanted to know how the
accounts were kept, and If the finance
committee was responsible for them.
There ought to be some system, as in
a business house.
Mr.. Holloway stated that c. M.
White, chief clerk in the Public Works
office, kept the books. Later the Sec
rotary said there was no appropriation
in the eighteen months bill for a
stenographer. He suggested the mes
senger be cut out and enough taken
from incidentaIs to retain the services
of Miss Melika Peterson.
Mr.. Giffard said the item was left out
by accident. when the bill was going
late at night. as a member Of
the Legislature told him. The COM
mittee was making up list of salaried
officers and would recommend that the
item for clerk and messenger be ap-
Piled to paying the stenographer, whose
services would be more requisite than
ever when the department moved out
to its new quarters.
