The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-10-31

Inc cha1r remarked that Beretanla
street needed re-macadamizing.
Adams urged the putting in of 20
foot park stretch in the middle of the
Waikiki road. to beautify the road and
also to save macadamizing.
/ Adams put his idea in the form of
a motion.
/ Lucas said Fhe road would have to
be surveyed.
Adams suggested poinciana trees for
the road park.
Archer weighed in with the brilliant
idea that trees in the middle of the
road would tempt highway robbers to
lurk at night. He didn't see his dear
Eva getting any poinciana trees.
That's your fault replied Lucas;
why don't you ask for what you
want?"
Adams motion was carried.
The Superintendent of Public Works
wrote to say that the board had not yet
turned over inventories of the various
defunct road boards.
Lucas has the inventories and the
matter will come up at the next meet
ing.
When a bunch of petitions We're read,
calling for road improvements. Archer
wanted the board to ascertain if the
petitioners had paid their taxes. (Much
laughter.)
Moore's cemetery regulation ordi-
nance was read for the second time and
passed.
The chair introduced the good old
F'razee blanket warrant matter and
asked Milverton how the board stood
regarding the proposed test.
Nothing doing said Milverton.
Adams thought he detected a dispo-
sition not to push the case.
The chair observed that if he had
personally put up $25 for costs of court,
the F'razee test case would have been
in the courts.
The Supervisors will probably put up
the money for the court costs in order
that the case come to trial al once.
Adams had paid out the $14.25 called
for by the Frazee warrant, to the men
entitled thereto, from his own pocket.
He wondered how he was going to get
it back and awaited the test.
The board took up the resolution, lost
at the last meeting. on Adams motion
to reconsider the vote. appropriating
(by blanket warranty $2625 for pay of
certain road men, made payable to Sam
Johnson drawn as a new basis for
blanket warrant test.
Moore stated that he was opposed to
the blanket warrant proposition. He
did not think that he could conscien-
tiousiy vote for the resolution. The
act called for payment to each
individual man earning the money
The chair said that if the board got |
A decision, the Territorial Auditor would !

which was an abomination.
Douthitt said it was a matter of |

board might know where it stood.
The chair said the Territorial Auditor |
would probably never change the sys-
tenn until all the old blanks had been
used.
Moore said it was up to the board to |
make its own system.
The chair said that the county act
the county to follow the Ter
'itorial system.
Moore said that the Territorial Audi
or had spoken of changing the system
IN January /.
The chair did not think the blanket
proposition could pass the
even members of the board.
Moore thought it might pass. If the
supreme Court decided in favor of the
blanket warrant he was prepared to
lee a disbursing officer of the board
,aying out money and practically no
money passing through the hands of the
'ounty Treasurer. STK
A vote of recopsideration of the reso-
ution was called for.
Adams moved to reconsider the mo-
ion and failed to find second.
Adams then moved that the Frazee
variant be withdrawn from any future
est proposition and new warrant De
