PLUMBING ORDINANCE DIES.
Moore's plumbing ordinance came up
for third reading but was opposed by
Archer, Cox and Paele on the ground
that 1t savored of class legislation.
Lucas shifted at the ordinance and
didn't seem to like the smell very much.
He spoke of funny business when the
Jap horseshoers were examined.
The Chairman thought that the or
dinance would be unnecessarily ex-
pensive to the county. He also thought
that the examination would prevent
many a competent young plumber from
following his trade because of a hazi-
ness as to technical terms.
Moore said that the idea of the or
dinance was not to shut out any COM
petent plumbers but to ensure sani-
tary plumbing. The expense to the
county would. he said. be merely
nominal. 1t would ensure the inspec-
tors being properly examined.
The chair remarked that the or
dinance provided for the examination
of plumbers but not for the examina-
ton of plumbing inspectors. He was
decidedly against 1t.
A vote was taken and the ordinance
was defeated on the third reading by
to Q. Moore and Lucas voting AYE"
TENDERS WANTED.
1t was decided to advertise for tend
ers for a sixteen-foot concrete culvert
at Hauula.
Tenders for the Kahauiki bridge will
be advertised for in the immediate
future, bids to be acted on at the
boards meeting on March 6. In con-
nection with this Moore said that he
was first last and all the time in favor
of permanent work and would counte-
nance no improvement that was not to
be of lasting nature.
JOHNSON'S JAUNT.
Moore thought that Sam Johnson
should not have been allowed to leave
his county duties to attend to the af-
fairs of a private corporation, referring
| to his trip to Kauai to act as inter-
prefer for the Molokans He thought
that a vote of the board should have
been taken in the matter.
Lucas said that inasmuch as J. B.
Castle had spent $4,000 for the good
of the county in bringing the Molo-
kans here, he did not think that any
improperly had been committed in
sending Johnson away without bring
ing the matter to the notice of board
Moore remarked that If American
citizens had been brought here there
would he no need for an interpreter.
Lucas replied that the Molokans had
taken out their first papers and would
all be good citizens by and by.
The chair here passed note to Cox,
via Aea and Lucas, and Cox reading
from the note made motion to the
effect that the action of Messrs.
Adams and Lucas, in sending Sam
Johnson to Kauai, receive the APP
prevail of the board.
| The motion was carried, Moore alone
voting against 1t,
At 1890 p. m. the meeting adjourned
