In order to get down to business al
once, the County Supervisors dispensed
with the reading of the minutes, and
the chair called for bills. Several bills
for August for minor sums, were pre-
sented and approved. Bills for $70S.2a
for the Fire Department out of the ap-
preparation Of $500 were presented by
Lucas and approved.
At this juncture Adams and Lucas
got into a scrap over the proposed
method of issuing warrants for some
Road Board items. Lucas inquired OF
Clerk Buffandeau if he had made out
''those warrants
'That is to be made out in single
warrant" said Adams.
.sThe - it is,'' retorted Lucas.
A Then for a few moments a subdued
3bw ensued across the table. when
Lucas arose and addressed the board
as follows:
"Mr. Chairman: Mr.. Andrew Adams
of the Koolaupoko Road Board has
brought in bills for labor amounting
to s141. I took this matter down to
Mr.. Trent and he said that he wanted
separate warrants for these men who
have worked there. He said to facili-

Mr. Adams for $141. He must have
these men sign these warrants. 1 no.
titled Mr. Buffandeau to fill out these
warrants. Mr. Adams County Super
yisor) now says he doesn't want it that
way.
..I don't think it is right for one man
on the board to interfere with another
man in the discharge of his duty"
Chairman Smith hastened to state
that if the board wished to issue
warrant it could do so. There was the
mandamus method to pursue if any

Lucas said trouble had already risen
In such an instance and he thought it
ought to be avoided.
However, if you are looking for
scrap, I guess I can stand it just as
well as the rest" concluded Lucas.
Lucas reported that the appropria-
tion of $S000 for the Road Department
had been overrun $444 and he advised
the appropriation of that amount to
cover the overplus. Allowed.
The Committee on Sanitation and
Health presented bills amounting to
S249.30 for the Garbage Department.
Allowed.
The regular order of business was
then taken ND.
Adams presented appropriation item
for S155 for services of clerks in the /
clerks office for September. Lucas
said he would like to see the salary :
of Mr. Buffandeau raised from SIS to
800, as he was working here night /
and day This would increase the item
to $40. Mr.. Cox moved to increase +
the salary of Stenographer Aea to SIo :
per month. Both Buffandeau and Aea
worked night and day frequently. These
Increases We're unanimously approved.
With the salary of the messenger boy,
$40. the item stood at s195.
Lucas suggested that Mr.. Mahelona
De made Deputy Auditor under Auditor
BickneI, and have him put under
bonds. Adams presented a resolution
raising the salary of auditors office
clerk TO 500 for September.
Appropriation of $500 for salaries or
ieputies and clerks in the County At
