Rapid Transit tracks on Queen street
Deputy County Attorney Milvertor
stated that the office had been too
busy to prepare an opinion.
Light was sought regarding a noto-
riousIy dirty lane and it was learned
that the matter had been attended to
| The chair asked as to the status OF
the county's endeavor to secure the
special road tax on deposit in the
treasury.
/ There is a well defined suspicion that
tif mandamus proceedings be instituted
against the treasury, the county may
| lose all.
| Auditor Bicknen reported on moneys
not expended from appropriations.
There is about $1,000 to be credited back
to the general fund.
In Adams opinion it would be well
to pass a resolution returning this un-
expended cash to the general fund.
Bicknen suggested that the board
wait each month until all money de-
mands We're in and then appropriate
the required sum.
Archer wanted the board to appro-
pirate the whole amount of the money
received each month by the county for
all expenditures, authorizing all ex-
penditures by one resolution. Any
balance could be thrown back into the
general fund. In this way all depart
ments could be covered by one reso-
luton
A resolution was drawn UP by Adams
crediting back the unexpended appro-
priations to the general fund. The
resolution was passed, Paeie voting
against it.
DO you understand what the reso-
luton is?" asked Smith. n
Paele thought that estimates for the
entire six months must be made
tions," said Moore.
"A very good point exclaimed the
chair, I'm glad Mr. PaeIe brought it
up"
"It was brought up once before"
said Moore.
The chair assisted by Attorney Mil
verton looked up the County Act and
the chair read Section 63 which reads: |
THE estimate shall be for the ensu- |
ing period"
That doesn't mean the period be- |
hind u.s. observed the chair.
A communication from A. E. Murphy |
was read. 1t related to street number |
ing and was in the nature OF q re- |
port.
Adams wanted to know if surveying |
was complete.
Murphy said that the only thing left
undone was the recording in the block
books. All outside work was complete.
Some districts will receive numbers
IN two or three weeks. 1t will take
about two months to complete the
Waikiki district as surveying is neces-
'ary.
A protracted discussion on the ethics
If the gentle art of house numbering
A letter from Fire Chief Thurston
vas read referring to his departure on
vacation for the mainland.
Archer asked what the board would

He won't get the other months

A petition was read from Koolaupo-
o asking for the removal of Road i
,verseer Peck, he not being a regis :
cred voter and his residence not be-
lg in the district. II
The petition was tabled on Lucas &

It's a id insult snapped Lucas. :

Anybody can petition said Lucas +
''They make statements that are not i
orrect," said Lucas. r
The chair held that a petition is Y
atition, be it of an insulting nature
otherwise
Archer kokuaed Smiths sentiments
