Island Road Boards
Have
No Legal Existence
SUPERVISORS ENTITLED TO FUNDS

this power having been specifically
vested In the Board Of Supervisors.
Entitled to Road Funds.
For the foregoing reasons. I am OF
the opinion that It is an open question
as to whether the Board Of Supervisors
Is not entitled to the amount now on
deposit to the credit Of the various
Road Boards throughout tho County OF
Oahu.
No Fire Commissioners.
Fire Commissioners have been ap
pointed respectively as follows:
J. Gilman, appointed May 8, 1904
for term Of two years.
Arthur Berg. appointed July 2S, 1904
for term Of two years.
Frank Hustace, appointed Jan. /.
1905, for term Of two years.
These appointments not having been
confirmed by the Senate at either the
regular session for the year 1908. or
the regular session for the year 1905,
and they not having been reappointed
subsequent to the dates above mention
ed. am of the opinion that they have
no legal existence as members of the
Board Of r,re Commissioners.
These are the only two Boards con-
corning which the County Of Oahu has
anything to do. Therefore I do not
give my opinion as to any other boards
which concern only Territorial affairs.
Confusion In Accounts.
Clerk Kalauokalani read the follow
Ing from Treasurer Trent:
Gentlemen: The County Treasurer
begs respectfully to ask for advice al
70 the method intended to be followed
I by the Supervisors In the matter Of
making appropriations Of moneys for
various accounts.
This advice Ia now asked for the
reason that number Of warrants have
been presented to the Treasurer foI
payment, designated rs chargeable To
accounts for which no appropriation
have been made. SO far as the Treas.
urer has been advised.
The following memoranda will show
in q condensed form some Of the ac'
counts against which warrants have
been issued, but which show no appro'
priation credits In the Treasurer
