Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1907-08-08

Just as he said 1t.
The question of whether or not Sam
Johnson should accompany the team
was settled In the negative before the
matter of allowing the other County
employees TO go under pay was put TO
vote. Johnson did not ask to go.
though IL was evident that he wished
10 do so. He Is the best shot In the
regiment, and his absence will severely
cripple the team and reduce its stand
ing in the competition. Adiutant Gen
eral Jones, without asking directly
that Johnson be granted leave OF abb
Bence, stated what would be the re-
suit If he were not with the team, at
the same time stating that Sam had
not asked to go and was willing to do
rs the Supervisors wanted him to do.
Such strong opposition developed to
Fletting him go, however, that Johnson
arose and stated that he had concluded
that he cd not care to go, anyway.
| Regarding the other men, he said
that their absence would not cost the
County anything, as the other men in
his department had volunteered TO
work over hours and keep up the
work OF their absent fellows II the lat
ter we're permitted TO 80. But still the
three Supervisors who we're opposed
10 the idea contendcd that the County
would be losing money. They might
Just as well grant leave of absence
without pay and save the salaries of
the men who should go. Hustace ex.
planned that In that case the other en-
cloyes would not care TO work over
time to keep up the work of the de.
partment and IL would be necessary To
hire other men 10 do the work, 50
there would be nothing saved, any
way.
Archer finally moved that the men
be granted leave OF absence with pay.
The vote resulted In tie, Hustace,
Archer and Dwight voting yes and
Harvey, Fern and Cox no. The mo-
ton was lost.
This, however does not settle tho
matter definitely, fOr before the meet
ing adjourned, Hustace said that he
wished the Board would reconsider
the matter. II was finally decided to
have a sD3rial meeting at noon today
might be a full Board, 1t being stated
thai Supervisor KeaIolla was In lgwn
and could probably be g.. TO attend.
Relative to the matter of candy and
peanut carts, while the Civic Fedora.
lion had complained of as having be. |
come so numerous as TO be a nuisance |
County Attorney Cathcart advised the |
Board that: IF they have become |
such nuisance as to fall within the |
statute defining and furnishing com.
mon nuisances, the law as it now |
stands Is ample TO give relief (chapter
123 Revised Laws If such carts are |
not common nuisance within the |
meaning OF the law, would suggest |
that the Civic Federation be request. |
ed to present to the Board the facis
In the matter and outline the relief |
which is desired"
The communication was referred to |
the Civic Federation.
LOOTING HACK DRIVERS.
In reply to the request 81 the Pro.
motion Committee that some action ~ |
taken by the Supervisors regulating
hack drivers In Honolulu, the County |
Attorney, TO whom the communication
had been referred, wrote to the BoarG
that the power to make rules regulat- |
ing licensed drivers and licensed |
vehicles and the fares to be charged
Is given TO the Treasurer of the Terri |
tory of Hawaiia (Sec. 1417, Revised |
Laws. The Board of Supervisors are,
In my opinion, without authority 20 |
act In the premises, and ! understand
that the Treasurer has acted and that
the rules are now printed"
PALOLO ROAD.
Glenn Quinn appeared before the
Board and requested that a few men
be put to work on the Palolo road to
yet 1t into passable shape before the
rains set n Hustace explained thai
the road is in better shape than ever
tcfJre and that the Board !s short ct
money. He impaired the cheerful In
that II the Paloloites would
wait the road work might be taken
care of some time in the future.
