MOORE GETS

ties Berger.

The band furnished the breeze at
the Board of Supervisors meeting last
night.
After the estimates for the month
had been passed without any reference
to Honolulu's music-makers, Moore
said band"
Everybody woke up and the fun
started.
First of all Moore gave an imitation
of man who didn't know that the
band had already recommended to work
for the county, forgetting that he had
helped to decide the matter at the last
meeting of the board.
The act wasn't a bowling success be-
ing promptly coppered by the chairs
reminder of what took place at the last
meeting with reference to the bands
engagement by the county beginning
on December /.
Then Moore got hostile. The coun-
ty didn't need any band, anyway, said
he. Berger, as a leader, was incompe-
tent and altogether impossible. He
had presumed to tell Moore when he
intended to go to work and it was up
to the board to see that the band didn't
run the county.
After urging that the band be cut
down numerically and that the Kap-
elImeister's salary be operated upon
another cat jumped out of the cornet-
cover.
Moore ha6 a friend. a skilled musi-
clan, respectful and not one whit die
tatory. He would gladly lead the band
for $10O a month, or sS5 less than Ber-
gers present stipend.
Lucas stood up for the music-makers
whom. he declared, as an organization,
were Indispensable to the town. He
had the whole of the board behind
him, barring Moore. His motion that
the salary of the band start from the
beginning of the present month, found
favor with everyone except Moore,
who voted mo-
The estimates for the present month
were passed at $36, ,425, exclusive of the
band, whose appropriation win be ar
ranged for at the next meeting.
The police bit was the same old size
as of yore. the diligent investigatory /
committee having uttered another par |
rot-like squawk for "more time"
