sented and approved. Bills for $7OS,2s
for the Fire Department out of the APP
preparation of $500 were presented by
Lucas and approved.
At this juncture Adams and Lucas
got into scrap over the proposed
method of issuing warrants for some
Road Board items. Lucas inquired of
Clerk Buffandeau if he had made out
those warrants"
THAT is to be made out in a single
warrant" said Adams.
The - II is retorted Lucas.
Then for a few moments a subdued
row ensued across the table, when
Lucas arose and addressed the board
as follows:
Mr.. Chairman: Mr.. Andrew Adams
Of the Koolaupoko Road Board has
brought in bills for labor amounting
to s141. 1 took this matter down to
Mr.. Trent and he said that he wanted
separate warrants for these men who
have worked there. He said to facili-
tate work he would send a check to
Mr.. Adams for $141. He must have
these men sign these warrants. I no.
titled Mr.. Buffandeau to fill out these
warrants. Mr.. Adams County Super
visor) now says he doesn't want it that
way.
II don't think it is right for one man
on the board to interfere with another
man in the discharge of his duty
Chairman Smith fastened to state
that IL the board wished to issue a
warrant it could do so. There was the
mandamus method to pursue IL any
Individual did not like it.
Lucas said trouble had already risen
In such an instance and he thought it
ought to be avoided.
However, IL you are looking for a
scrap, guess / can stand it just as
we'll as the rest" concluded Lucas.
Lucas reported that the appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the Road Department
had been overrun s444 and he advised
the appropriation of that amount to
cover the overplus. Allowed.
The Committee on Sanitation and
Health presented bills amounting to
$249.30 for the Garbage Department.
Allowed.
The regular order of business was
then taken up.
Adams presented appropriation item
for 1855 for services of clerks in the
clerks office for September. Lucas
said he would like to see the salary
Of Mr.. Buffandeau raised from $75 to
800, as he was working here night
and day. This would increase the item
to $40. Mr.. Cox moved to increase
the salary of Stenographer Aea to $75
per month. Both Buffandeau and Aea
worked night and day frequently. These
increases were unanimously approved.
With the salary of the messenger boy,
$40. the item stood at 1885,
Lucas suggested that Mr.. Mahelona
De made Deputy Auditor under Auditor
Bicknell, and have him put under
bonds. Adams presented a resolution
raising the salary of auditors, Office
clerk to 800 for September.
Appropriation of $500 for salaries OF
deputies and clerks in the County At

Adams thought two men could run |

'quare. and one for Emma square. He
hought the prisoners could be put

That is you would eliminate prison

Then Lucas said he wanted $1,000 to
ut road through Kalawao. The
said it had no money for this
urpose. 1t said the county would
ave TO look after these things.
Moore said he understood that the
legislature appropriated $4,000 for the
ay of prison lunas, but there didn't
eem to be any money.
Those prisoners must be taken out

Ioore.
Lucas objected to Secretary Atkinson

arks such as the Young and Nuuanu.
