The report was accepted and placed
on file.
The Supervisor asked, also, for an
appropriation of $1475 for regular ana
labor payTolls for garbage and exca-
vator departments for May and $500
Tor materials and supplies.
Residents of Kalihi Valley petitioned
that the road up the valley be put in
repair 1t is now in bad condition.
The request was supported by a letter
from Bishop Libert. who stated that
the Mission had recently acquired ia
acres of land there and it was pro-
posed TO erect home and industrial
school for orphans
The ordinance, No. s. regulating
speed. etc, of motor cars and provid-
ing rules for registration of machines

read a third time and passed unani-
mously
Mr.. Lucas stated that the ordinance
had been submitted to lawyers and
business men and found satisfactory;
if changes Were deemed necessary
later they could be made at any meet
ing.
When the motion to pass was put.
Mr.. Archer said the ordinance pro-
vided for owners to be prepared to
make repairs to a machine if an &C
cident happened. He doubted if Mr.
Young could do that
This section was explained to him.
and Mr.. Lucas said that the ordinance
was submitted to owners of autos and
met with their approval On an aye
ana nay vote the measure passed
unanimously
The County Engineer had asksd that
he be furnished with reports relative
TO supplies furnished the various road
supervisors outside Honolulu.
Mr.. Archer seemed to have a wrong
conception of the intent of the request
and objected to complying with it
until the chair explained He then
withdrew his objections.
Mr.. Cox objected on the score that
it applied only to outside districts and
Honolulu was exempt. Mr.. Gere ex-
planned this and Mr.. Archer then sug-
gested that bids be called for to fur
nish six months supplies and after
wards moved that the. communication
be referred to the Committee on Roads
and Bridges to prepare requests for
tenders and, being seconded, it passed.
A communication from the Hawai-
ian News Co. relative to ballot paper
was read. 1t was a request for per-
mission to bill upon the paper for
ballots.
Mr.. Moore said nothing could be
done and Mr.. Lucas said there was no
definite offer made. Mr.. Moore moved
that the communica ton be laid on the
table pending Information from Mr..
Adams.
MONEY FOR MAY.
The Road Department gets $4,000
for May against $17,5OO last month.
The total estimated expense for May
is S50,590 Mr.. Moore suggested that
the Honolulu department does not in
crease over its April appropriation of
S17,500. Mr. Lucas said to spend the |
$4,000 that would be left after paying |
the bills and stop work in June.
The Chair said it would be better to |
cut down the Honolulu end of it to
$4,000. If necessary it can be raised. |
Mr.. Moore said this would use up |
everything in sight. $4,000, and Mr.. |
Smith said the board could get along |
on this and there would be no neces- |
sity for any discharges A motion to |
make that the estimate for May car |
