not stand the pressure required.
Your committee states for the benefit
Of the Board that the present concrete
wall is built on a good coral foundation
and will be lasting and durable.
The charges made that the men en-
ployed by keanu on the bridge We're
intoxicated is true. 1t is fact that
there is no love lost between the vari-
Gus factions living in Koolauloa district
Since the Inauguration OF county gov
eminent more money has been appro-
priated for road work than ever before
and the various factions are clamor-
ing for the lion s share of the work.
Mr.. Keanu we believe is an honest
and well meaning man. but he is not
able to cover the district allotted to
him
The charges made against Mr.. Paele
are not borne out by facts and are
frivolous and should be dismissed
Mr.. Paele deserves great deal of
credit for the interest and time he has
given to the work, the results being
apparent to anyone who has watched
the work on the windward side Of
Oahu.
Your committee would suggest a
division of the Koolauloa district into
two districts, one from Kualoa to
Hauula and the other from Waimea
bridge to Hauula, and would further
recommend that Mr. Andrew Adams be
appointed overseer for Waimea, Laie
to Hauula, to serve without pay, he to
appoint his luna from his district, such
luna to receive pay from the regular
monthly appropriations.
(Signed) JOHN LUCAS,
Fl. T. MOORE.
Archer thought the report was all
right, but he objected to the division
of the district into two sections. He
thought it would be an extravagant
move
Moore said the road from Kahana to
Kualoa was long enough for any one
man.
do you think the work in Eva and
Waianae could be better done with
more lunas?" asked the chair Of
Archer
mo, we don't want any more" was
Archer's reply. Mr.. Nawakoa doesn't
need help
1--WE understand that Mr.. Nawakoa
is an exceptional man." assented the
chair.
Moore said that the report exoner-
ated Mr.. Paele and it also carried the
expression that Mr.. Keanu should be
dismissed, as he was too old to con-
tinue in service
After some discussion over the divi-
sion of the road district referred to.
the report was adopted.
Mr.. Paele, I congratulate you upon
being exonerated,'' said Chairman
Smith.
Paele moved that Mr.. All Sing be
requested to appear before the Board
to receive instructions as to his ap-
pointment as a road luna.
Mr.. Moore reported that the request
of Court Clerk Sims to furnish electric
lights from three to six daily for the
Judiciary Building would necessitate
the Government electric light station to
put on SIS a month man to turn on
lights for two hours. The Hawaiian
Electric Company could install the sys-
tenn if necessary. The matter was left
in allegiance.
Mr. Adams, for the Committee on
Bandstand, said that the Japanese
residents were considering the erection
of a memorial bandstand in Aala Park.
Until they reached decision the COM
mittee did not desire to go further into
the matter.
The breaking of a plate-glass window
in the Mendonca Building recently
when the police were raiding a barri-
caded gambling den was brought to at
tention by a report from Sheriff Brown.
He stated that although a window was
broken, yet it came in the performance
of duty If the officers had been more
deliberate the gamblers might have
escaped and the raid would have been
Mr.. Vida's report show
ed that Captain Leslie, who forced
door caused the window to break. The
door would not be opened by Chinese
watchers, although he commanded
them to do so, showing his badge.
Mr.. Adams said he investigated the
place, and it was his opinion that the
window was broken by the door strik>
ing it.
c. Bolte, for Mr.. Mendonca, said
that recently wagon dropped some
stones on Queen street and one broke
one of Davies windows and new
window had been supplied by the au-
thorities.
And then what about the skylight?'
asked Bolte. They chopped the sky
light out, too. Mr.. Vida didn't say
anything about that"
Mr.. Adams said the skylight was
broken by the gamblers escaping.
Bolte said Furthermore the gamblers
had gone free in police court because
the county's law had not been prop
erly passed.
The chair reminded Mr.. Bolte that
the case was thrown out of court on d
Mr.. Bolte said that. in the
middle of November. Mr.. Mendonca
had some barred doors in the build
ing.
Mr.. Douthitt said that gambling and
the paraphernalia was there. The only
hing not proven to Judge Whitney was
hat the ordinance had been properly
oa ssed by the Board.
1.-The minutes of the Board passing
that ordinance will be presented before

kind" said Mr.. Douthitt. Had those
minutes been in court then those gam /
