MOORE WON'T SIGN.
When the Items for Kapiolani Park
rame up Moore said he thought the
Park should keep within its limit of
$500. First of all in the list, there
was n costly item, to him, for trans
portation of prisoners laboring there.
Lucas said the additional expense
was largely for new work done on
the Kunst property now owned by the
county, blasting, etc. Lucas said the
blasting was for the benefit of the
public, improving the bathing facili-
ties.
II will not sign the item" said
Moore positively.
Lucas, for the sake of harmony, said
the clerk might notify the Park people
not to exceed the estimate in future.
Archer, too. said he believed in keep
ing the estimate down. This month
they should spend only 1925. The band
was coming back and would need
s2500 a month, and all expenses should
be kept down.
Lucas said there was plenty of
money for just bills.
you don't know what you are talk
ing about, none of you" said Lucas.
Go up to the right place and you will
md out as l did"
\ II believe we know as much as you
do" retorted Moore.
when the chair gets here, I'll talk
TO you n whole lot and show you"
answered Lucas.

three parties. Paele thought the Coun-
ty Clerk was qualified to select them.
Chairman Smith suggested that 1t
should certainly be non-partisan. Pa
ele wanted the Home Rulers recognize

recognized in the United States and !

Lucas said his Interpretation of the
law was that the County Clerk has
complete charge OF this matter, Ka-
iauokalani was non-partisan, and al
though an avowed Republican and
candidate for reelection.
