Archer Gets the Best OF the Controversy
Delay in the New Police Investigation
..Other Matters of interest,

line was agreed upon, and on July 16,
1906, the papers were all completed and
forwarded to Mr. Low, together with
| Mr. Holloway's signature to an agree
ment for an exchange deed. The En-
gineer informed Mr.. Low that as soon
as he made the necessary arrange
ments for the transfer of right of way.
the work on said road would be taken
up and finished After holding the pa
pers for a month without doing any
thing with them, Mr.. Low did, on Au-
gust IL return said papers to the
County Engineer, and made the remark
that he Mr. Low would not attend to
Mr. Archer's business. The Board OF
Supervisors have therefore been unable
to do this work, not because of any
neglect on the part of the supervisor
from Eva district, but because we
! have not the right to proceed until the
necessary arrangements are made for a
right of way.
Your committee do not feel that they
are called upon to answer certain sec
tions of Mr.. Lows letter, as it Is
clearly personal attack on Mr.
Archer, when. in fact, the work done
ir Eva district has been done after the
same was ordered by the entire Board
of Supervisors. Had the necessary ar
rangements been made for the trans
fer of the right of way, this board
would, long ago, have completed both
sections of road work that Mr. Low
seems to make basis of his complaint,
and he was so informed by the County
Engineer. We wish to say in passing,
that when the county received the
equipment from the Eva and Waianae
Road Board, 1t was necessary for us to
expend about $500 in repairs before we
could use the crusher. We, therefore,
claim that the equipment was not re-
turned in good order by the last con-
tractor who made use Of it.
With reference to the up-keep OF
road ways in the district of Eva, we
find that Mr.. Low has paid some six
or eight cantoniers for this purpose
from the $1,000 which was left over from
the Special Road Tax Fund of Eva dis
trict, and which can only be spent in
said district. and which same was
withheld from the Board of Supervisors
for some reason, Mr.. Low even OBJECT
ing to allowing the superintendent or
Public Works to pay for six mules
from said fund. for the use OF road
work in Eva district.
With reference to the WoTk ooIie III
Eva district since October 1st when
the equipment was turned over to the
County Supervisors, we Will repeat
that the work has been done by the
orders of the whole Board of SUPER
visors and under the direction of the
County Engineer since his appoint
ment and that the work has been done
on public roads and not private roads;
that the Board of Supervisors had to
build stable for the protection Of the
stock there being no place for keeping
the stock when the equipment was
turned over to US; that the Board have
purchased and paid for six mules; thar
the Board had to put up over miles
of fencing to complete a contract LETT

| The report of the special committee
Supervisor Archer was presented
at a special meeting of the Supervisors
last night a report which exonerates
Archer and lays the blame upon James
Low for holding up the road work IN
the Eva district and trying to SO run
things that the Honolulu plantation
viii get all the benefit of whatever
work is going on. The presentation
of the report brought on an alteration
between Senator L. L. McCandless, who
represented the Low faction. and Su-
pelvisor Moore, during the course of
which each took the opportunity of
telling the other that he did not know
what he was talking about.
The special committee looking into
| the question of surplus employees
around the police station asked for
further TINE. This was granted, after
which the clerk read the Low-Archer
report, as follows:
ARCHER EXoNERATED.
Honolulu, t. H., September Z, 1906.
! Geo. w. Smith, Esq, Chairman, Board
of Supervisors, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: Your special committee,
to whom. was referred a communication
from Mr. James A. Low, relative to
road work done in Eva district, re-
port as follows:
In answering the first statement
made by Mr.. Low, namely, that of fur-
nishing gratis all the rock used by the
Board of Supervisors for macadam on
the roads in Eva district, We find that
a large proportion of the rock was
gathered from the new field on the EVA
side of Lehua avenue by the carts and
teams of the county government at
considerable expense, and since that
field was cleared the crusher was put
on a lot Honolulu side of the court
house. and all the rock used from that
location was blasted and broken by the
road men and not taken from rock
fences. as set forth by Mr.. Low. The
rock from said rock fence was used
under Mr.. Lows direction on the con-
tract road built from Aiea to Lehua
avenue under Mr. Lows management,
said contract being first held by Mr..
Springston and afterwards by Mr.. John
De Fries. Every yard of rock the
County Supervisors have used in EVA
district has cost us money.
Furthern the county is at loss
of several hundred dollars on account
of having to leave rock blasted and
broken ready for the crusher. This
loss was caused by Mr., Low forcing us
TO move our crusher and bunkers.
with reference to frightening the
bend in the Kalauao Valley, your COM
mittee wish to say this matter mas
been before the entire Board of super
vision several times, and in June OF inns
year. the County Engineer was directed
to see Mr.. Low and agree upon a right
of way. After several interviews the

THE DISCUSSION.
Committee.

The acceptance of the report was
moved by Supervisor Lucas, seconded
by Supervisor Paele, upon which the
chair called upon those present for re-
marks, bidding them speak now or Tor
ever hold their peace.
McCandless asked that the letter from
the Oahu Railroad & Land Co., referred
to in the report, be read.
The three letters were read, the sub
stance of each being that the company
wag ready to deed the right of way OF
the Peninsula road on Lihue street as
soon as the road was built according
to agreement Archer explained why
he had not turned in the first letter 10
the board, handing it to the road fore
man for his instruction instead.
McCandless thought that the letters
showed that Moore had said the tnlnS
that was not. an inputation warmly
denied by Moore.
INV statements are as near true as
know how to make them L DO not
l:,ink they should be questioned by
someone who does not know anything
q bout the facts of the case"
Then the chair put a number or Dues
tions as to the scope Of the work done,
Moore producing Photographic PROOF
that the committee had gone over the
roads and knew what they were taking
about. The chair promptly conhscated
the photos and added them to the re-
port as exhibits.
When the vote was called for the re-
port was accepted with no noes.

Voliva, who recently came here from
Australia by appointment of Dowie to
take, full charge of affairs at Zion
City, yesterday announced to 5000 per-
sons in Shiloh tabernacle that not only
had the order been ignored by decision
Of the executive officers of Zion, but
that it had been decided to reinstate
Deacon Speicher in the church and the
municipality. ~.
Most of the officials of the church
were present at the meeting and many
of them denounced Dowie as having
deceived the people and wasted their
money in extravaganza The meeting,
however, refused to hold that he had
knowingly erred, and John G.. Speicher,
the former overseer and once second in
command, who was recently deposed
perempt orily. declared Dowie to be in
sane. Mrs. Dowie, in her address, also
upheld that declaration.
The exciting incidents, which are be.
ieved to mark the retirement Of Dowie
from at least temporal authority in
Zion, came as a sequence Of sensational
stories that have come out of the col
ony for weeks, concerning the alleged
| decadence of the intellectual and civic
power Of Dowie. It was reported from

money had been rejected, that he hac

MICHIGAN ROADS

There were tWenty-seven of these
cases, al involving the validity of act
NO. l73 of the Michigan legislature of

ton adopted in 1900. This law changed
the method Of taxing railroad and Kin
dred corporations from the old system
OF exactlng the payment Of certain
per cent Of their gross earnings to an
"a valorem system, providing for the
liking OF the tax value of the railroads
on the average values on which other
property in the state is assessed.
The taxes levied against various rail
roads OF the state for 1902, the first
year after the new law went into effect
aggregated $746,S99,l as against 1868,
