NAwAAKOA REPEATS.
Lucas complained that Road Over
seer Nawaakoa of the Eva district
had been drawing 800 salary from the
Eva Road Board in addition to his
salary from the county. He urged that
he be made an example of.
Adams said there were circumstances
similar to Sam Johnson's case who re-
ceived 5000 from the Territory and $50
from the county. He thought the diff
ficulty arose out of the old road board
difficulty.
Nawaakoa said that he had not been
notified that his connection with the
Eva road board was over and stated
that he had lots of work to do as all
the equipment of the old board had
been left in his hands to take care of.
He thought he had earned the money
that he had drawn.
The clerk was instructed to write
to the Eva and Waianae road board
and instruct them to send in an in
ventory of the equipment in their
hands.
AN ADVISORY ENGINEER.
Adams spoke of the need the county
stood in of an engineer possessed of
technical knowledge which could be
used in bridge and road work. He
pointed out that such a man would
save the county much money. Kauai
and Maui had such engineers. They
saved many expensive mistakes being
made.
The matter was held over until the
next meeting in order that 1t may be
more fully Investigated.
SMITHS GOODBYE.
At 1880 p. m. the board adjourned,
Chairman Smith expressing a desire
that peaceful meetings might prevail
