Territorial Auditor J. H. Fisher was
present and the chair suggested that
it would be well to talk with the au-
ditor relative to the possibility of eff
fecting some change i'm the style of
warrant. The chair explained that un-

of unnecessary labor was required,
each warrant having to be signed five
times. Fisher said that he had talked
with the auditor of Kauai county and
the treasurer and auditor of Oahu
county and they had expressed them
selves as not desiring any change. The
chair said that that had not been the
impression they had given the super
visors. After some discussion it was
decided, on suggestion of Adams, that
the special committee on the change of
warrant form, which consisted of
Adams and Moore, confer with the
auditor and try to make some sugges-
ton.
The board adjourned, subject to the
call of the chair
