AN AWF Ill
SITUATION
Girl Escapes Death---A
Z Scheme for Road
Graft.

MAUI, March Last Saturday
morning, Alexa Won Tempsky, the
young daughter of Mrs. Dora Won
Tempsky of Makawao, met with Sc
rious accident, while gathering ferns
on the side of gulch in company with
her brother. A boulder of several tons
weight on which she was standing be-
came dislodged and rolled with her,
finally pinioning both her feet. It re-
quired the combined efforts OF six men
to remove the huge stone.
DR.. w. F. McConkey later discovered
that two ankle bones and leg bone
of enc leg were broken and the other
limb badly bruised.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
Wednesday evening Hugh Reid of
Grove Ranch, a lad of Ia years, was
thrown from horse, rendered insensi-
BILE and quite badly injured. DR.. Nc
Conkey was summoned
GRAFT CONSPIRACY.
The Maui board of Supervisors viii
meet next Wednesday in its spacious
new office at Wailuku.
An important question as to a change
in management of county roads will
probably be discussed. In the past the
county engineer has acted both as en-
gineer and general road superintendent
at a salary of 5000 a month. This
arrangement has been a satisfactory
one so far as can be judged by the
good roads of Central Maui.
The incumbent is an expert engineer
as well as the possessor of much expert
ence in road-building.
AS substitutes, two plans are being
urged-one, the appointment of a road
the other, that each supervisor shall
have full charge of all road work in
his district, including the appointment
of road lunas, etc.
In regard to the first plan, it will
be most difficult to find competent
man and, even if one is found, an en-
gineer must also be employed at times,
SO the expense will probably be greater
than at present.
In regard to the second plant
would be bad precedent to establish.
At the present moment with good SUI
pervisors it might answer, but If un-
serupulous politicians should be elected
to Office, as is quite possible, the coun-
ty money could easily be devoted to
graft in a thousand ways.
ssLet well enough alone' seems to
be the watehword for the present IN
stance.
