UP TO CIVIC FEDS.
County Attorney Cathcart wrote re-
garding the request of the Civic FEEDER
alton that action be taken to abate
the japanese candy cart nuisance, as
follows: y.
Referring to the communication
from the Civic Federation of Honolulu
relative to the candy cart or refresh
ment wagons, 1 would say that if they
have become such a nuisance as to fall
within the statute defining and pun
ishing common nuisances,' the law as
it now stands is ample to give relief
Chapter 1873 Rev. Laws. If such carts
are not a common nuisance within
the meaning of the law, would sug-
gest that the Civic Federation be re-
quested to present to the Board the
facts in the matter, and outline the
relief which is desired. I will be glad
to meet members of the Civic Fedora
ton, at any time, and examine into
the facts, so as to determine whether
the acts complained of constitute a
common nuisance
Chairman Hustace ordered the COM
munication filed and instructed the
County Clerk to forward a copy to the
Civic Federation.
HACK REGULATIONS.
Another communication from the
County Attorney dealt with hacks and
the regulation of licensed drivers. 1t
said in part:
THAT the power to make rules regu-
lating licensed drivers and licensed We
hicles and the fares to be charged, is
given to the Treasurer of Hawaii. The
Board of Supervisors are, in my opin-
ion, without authority to act in the
premises; and 1 understand that the
treasurer has acted and that the rules
are now printed"
RIFLE TEAM QUESTION.
The question of allowing the en-
ployes of the county who may qualify
to serve in the rifle team from Hawaii
at the national match, was brought up
by the following communication from
Governor Carter, which said:
considerable effort is being made by
the War Department to have rifle
teams from the various states and ter
ritories attend the rifle match to be
held at Camp Perry, Ohio, during this
month and in preparation therefor an
allotment has been made by the De-
partment of $4,000 for the transporta-
ton, pay and subsistence of team to
go from the National Guard of this
Territory.
Among those who VIII without doubt
qualify for position on such team are
a number of the employees Of the Coun-
ty of Oahu and hope You may see
employees leave of absence without
diminution of pay from the 18th OF
August until the return of the team to
the Territory, as has been done in the
case of the Territorial employs"
Colonel Jones explained the situation
| and Road Supervisor Johnson Stated
| that at the outside, by rearranging the
working force, the extra expense would
not exceed $500 for the month.
Supervisor Cox thought that there
| was nothing in the case to justify pay
| ing the salaries of the men while they
| were away. If he were to go away he
would not want the county to pay him
anything.
The chairman thought that, while the
county was in poor financial shape, YET
the money might be well spent as there
was no telling when it might happen
that the county would have to depend
on it's riflemen.
Supervisor Harvey failed to see where
| the $500 expense was figured. Colone
