public franchises should be conferred.
practically. in one man. the Superin.
tendent Of Public Works. with the APP
proval OF the Governor of the Terri
tory?
Supervisor II. T. Moore asked this
question at the meeting OF the Oahu
County Board Of Supervisors on Sat
urday night.
Moore does not profess to be a man
Of legal mind; he Is not lawyer. but
It is just like Moore to ask such q
question. He gets his mind busy on
matters affecting the public welfare
and he says what he thinks He wants
to know what the people want to
know. No action was taken at Satur.
days meeting as the result OF Moore'a
question, but Moores question will not
be forgotten. Something will come OF
It.
Moore brought the matter up to.
ward the end Of the meeting He sug-
gested that the County Attorney be in
structed by the Board. OF Supervisors
to institute Injunction proceedings
against Territorial officials granting
franchises until such time as It could
be ascertained what was tho rich, q,
