The members of the court remained
closeted until 8 p. m. when the court

The great interest in the case was

TO SYSTEMIzE WORK.
The following report was submitted:
Honolulu, 7. H., June 20, 1906.
Geo. w. Smith, Esq, Chairman, Board
of Supervisors, County of Oahu.
Dear Sir: Your Committee on
Roads, Bridges and Parks, beg to re-
port 1st., that detailed monthly reports
be made to County Engineer on blanks
furnished by the Board.
End, that estimates must be furnish
ed to County Engineer for ensuing
month of proposed work.
3rd., that monthly time-books should
be turned in to the County Clerk for
checking payrolls.
We would ask that the Road Over
seers or Lunas shall keep their time
books as they have ample time to at
tend to same and it is an unnecessary
expense having time-keepers.
We would ask that all materials pur-
chased by various districts, statements
of said purchases be sent to the Coun-
ty Clerk, and that duplicate bills of
same be rendered at the end of each
month, on blanks furnished by County.
We would recommend all material
and supplies be purchased by written
order in order books furnished by
County, and duplicates of said orders
be sent to County Clerk.
Respectfully submitted,
j. LUCAS,
II. II. MOORE,
Committee.
The report caused great deal of
discussion.
Archer and Cox made an impassioned
plea for timekeepers for the Eva dis
trict.
The report was adopted with the ex-
ception that timekeepers be allowed
the districts of Honolulu and Eva.
The idea of the report is to get work
systemized, thereby saving the county
money.

The following communication was
read from T. Give Davies, secretary
of the Leahi Home:
Honolulu, It. H., June 7, 1906.
d. Kalauokalani, Jr., Esq, Clerk of
County of Oahu, Honolulu.
Sir: The Trustees of The Leah
Home are anxious that the institution
should so far as possible meet all the
needs of the country for which it was
established. The present number of
inmates is about 80 patients, although
the capacity of the Home is about so,
the number who can be received being
limited by the available income of the
society.
Realizing that the various counties
will have numerous INDECENT incurables
to provide for from time to time, and
in response to enquiries from various
quarters as to what The Leah Home
could do to meet the need, the Trustees
of The Leah Home have decided to
make the following offer, viz:
The capacity of the Home is sufiici-
ent for about 80 inmates, and at pres
ent there are about 80 at the Home,
and the Trustees are willing to accept
incurable patients from the several
counties up to the maximum capacity
of the Home. The limit of the number
from each county 10 be in proportion
to the number of inhabitants of the
several counties; and the charge to be
made for each person to be at the
