Reading Of Minutes.
The session Of the Board Opened
previous meetings. The minutes had
not been read for three sessions and
the County Clerk had quite a task to
get them out of the way, particularly
as Kalauokalanis' minutes are written
In a very detailed manner, observing
carefully every form. The reading Of
the minutes occupied over an hour.
The Board duly approved the Clerks
records. All Of the Supervisors pres.
ent complimented Mr.. Kalauokalani
on the pains he had taken with the
minutes, appreciating the accuracy
with which he discharged his duties.
Another Investigation.
The payment by the County of lunas
In charge Of Territorial prisoners do.
Ing County work, in the opinion OF
Lucas. calls for some investigation.
He suggested that the Legislature
had appropriated sufficient funds to
look after this business and believed
that the Territory should be respon.
sible for the expense. The County is
now paying four lunas and Lucas
thought the Territory was trying to
get too much. The salaries involved
will be further examined before any
action Is taken in reference to their
Payment.
Policemen At Walaiua.
A bill for the salaries Of policemen
at Waialua was presented. Archer
had criticism to offer In this connec.
ton. Sheriff Brown had certified to
the expense incurred. Archer drew
attention to the fact that In his esti-
mate for July the Deputy Sheriff OF
Waialua had allowed for only one of.
fcer. Now q bill came In for two
more waialua officers. He did not un.
derstand how the Waialua Deputy
Sheriff could be SO mixed In his re-
ports. Archer was appointed a spe-
cial committee to investigate.

kooIauioa Road Board.
Lucas reported for the Committee
appointed to investigate charges
against the foreman Of the Koolauloa
Road Board. He said he did not con-
slider the matter within the province
of the Board. The trouble had occur
red under Territorial administration.
There had been loose methods In the
conduct OF affairs; March bills, for ex.
ample, were not paid until June, but
as far as he could see, there had been
no criminal work. The Chair dis
charged the committee.
