The chair thought the resolution was
too strong.
Adams said that all city appoint
ments had been made in the city by
all the members, but now for country
districts to appoint their own en-
ployees was far from wise.

Moore, for the sake of harmony, with
drew the resolution
| Lucas said a request had come on
| behalf of the Taft party for the band.
The chair said he had been given au-
thority over the board, and the hand
was to play during the stay of the Taft
party. By resolution the board placed
the services of the band at the disposal
Of the executive whenever he desired
them.
Adams offered a resolution to the
effect that all work contemplated by
road boards and the road supervisor
be submitted to the board for approval
Carried
Adams motion that an invitation be
extended to the Hawaii Shinpo to have
representative present at all meet
ings was carried.
The County Clerk was authorized to
employ a messenger for all the county
offices a $50 per month Christian
Lewis may get the job
Adams moved that the heads of all
departments be requested to present to
the board any matters of interest tax
ing place in their bureaus. Some
changes had taken place in one of the
departments which had only come to
the ears of the supervisors by hearsay.
he did not cite the instance in cues
ton. LUCAS couldn't see the force of
the argument.
The chair referred to the episode of
the senior police captain and the Coun-
~ Sheriff a week ago. This was
matter, he said, which should have been
reported instantly to the board
There was Wordy discussion over
the motion, but finally it was seconded
by Archer. Lucas considered it a vote
OF want of confidence in the heads of
bureaus. 1t did not refer entirely to
the sheriff, but to the treasurer, clerk
and attorney.
Those people We're elected just as |
much as we We're" said Lucas.
Moore did not think the motion allud-
ed to any special head, but was gener- |
al. The motion was carried to 9
The rules We're then taken up for |
consideration.
The rules called for two members on |
each standing committee, the chairman |
of the board being a member of each.
All meetings of committees are to be |
public, except where otherwise desig- |
mated.
The standing committees are as fol- |
lows:
L. Ways and means;
2. Public expenditures;
3. Roads, bridges, parks and public
improvements;
4. Police department.;
5. Fire department;
8. sanitation and health.
The chair stated that when the fire
department was turned over to the
supervisors. the Board of Fire Commits
sioners had turned over everything in
a thoroughly businesslike manner and
he thought it wise to retain the COM
m1ssioners in office. The Board of Fire
Underwriters is given power to CO.
operate with the supervisors to assist !
in making its department efficient and
modern.
No member who has a pecuniary |
interest in a matter to be voted on,
shall be privileged to cast a vote there
on.
The Board shall from time to time
pass ordinances for the general welfare
of the public.
All ordinances are to be given thirty
days time after passage before being
considered law.
Cushing's Manual, as interpreted by
the Senate of the United States, is to
prevail in all parliamentary delibera-
tons of the board.
