troduced resolution to continue the
County departments for the period of

request OF the Honolulu postmaster to
the effect that houses at present not

for the convenience OF the delivery
system. According to Adams the Pub

merous books. record OF what had
already been accomplished in Homo
lulu in the way OF house numbering.
That work which had been done had
been carried out In a thorough man
ner. What remained to be done In Ka-
lihi and Puunui could be effected In a
couple Of months.

viding for the extension Of the num-
bering system and naming A. Z. Muir
ply. formerly In charge Of the house
numbering department under the Ter.
ritory. at $l25, and Mr.. Schmidt, at S75

sary; he believed It could be COM
pleted within two months. Moore was
Of the opinion that the resolutions
should bind the men employed to carry
the work to completion. Adams stated
that he had learned that the Public
Works was very willing to let thu
County have the use OF the books al
ready prepared in regard to hous'
numbering. Paele thought II wise Il
lay the whole matter on the table
