WHO RUNS
THE 8AND2
The Supervisors Of Oahu
County Want Some
Information.

There is a difference of opinion among
the County Supervisors as to who has
charge of the Hawaiian County Band
the Supervisors, Col. Jones, command
| ing officer of the First Regiment, Ma
tional Guard of Hawaii, or even the
Governor, who, as commander in
chief of the militia forces of the terri
tory, has authority over the musicians
| if they are still attached 10 the National
Guard. Their instruments belong to the
| U. S. Army.
The matter came up at the Board
meeting yesterday afternoon when a
communicat ton was received from
Club, requesting the services of the
| band at the boat and yacht races at
Pearl Harbor on July A. The request
was acceded to, finally, with Paele vot-
| ing against the proposition at first, al
though he changed later to an affirm
ative vote.
| Mr.. Moore then called attention to the
| fact that somebody had ordered tke
| band to play at Makee Island on Sun
day. He thought Col. Jones had done
. so, and he questioned his authority. If
the county was paying for the band
the Supervisors certainly had con rol of
its movements.
Chairman Smith stated that the order
made by Captain Berger, the band
leader, who, following his usual custom,
was continuing to play at the usual
de signated places during the week.
MIR. Berger is a captain under mill
tary services to the Territory said
Chairman Smith, "and has the rank to
control the members of the band wto
are enlisted men,
IF that's the case then we ought to
have Colonel on the Board of Super
visors to control the captain said
Moore jocosely.
THE Board decided on adjournment
yesterday to meet again pro forma on
Tue: cay morning at $50, with only the
city members present. and adjourn at
once until Wednesday afternoon or
evening. The law calls for the Board
to hold it's regular meetings on the first
Tuesday of every month, but as next
Tuesday falls upon a holiday, the
meeting would not be considered bind
ing. However, to conform to the law
the Board will merely come together
and adjourn.
The first business yesterday was to
approve the bonds of the following
deputy sheriffs:
Frank Pahia, Koolaupoko, $4,000; c. J.
Holt, Waianae, $4,000; Oscar Cox. Waia-
lua, $4,000; Geo. Kekuoha, Koolauloa,
$4,000; John Fernandez, Eva, $4,000.
Henry Cobb Adams of the Road
Board of Koolaupoko, appeared bsfore
the Board to get information as to the
Nuuanu Pail cantoneerS. He was not
sure the Koolaupoko Road Board had
power to keep the two men employed.
The Board was not sure of it's position.
but tentatively instructed Mr. Cobb to
keen the men at work until official ac-
ton could be taken.
The County Clerk was instructed to
prepare a letter directed to Superin-
tendent Holloway stating that upon re-
ceipt of an inventory of the road and
garbage departments, electric light
station police station (build ;ng), the
Board would submit a receipt therefor.
Sheriff Brown appeared before the
Board and said he had understood f: ON
reading of the resolution adopted by
the Supervisors taking over the po ice
department and continuing the force as
it existed on June 80 through the month
of July. He had done SO, but had ap-
pointed two more men. Lieut.. Leslie to
