/ Lawyers are busy with numerous
legal questions involved in the act and

to find out where they stand. 1t seems
likely that, here or in Honolulu, there
will be contests over several features of
/ the law
| In Honolulu the commissioners es-
| tablished districts within which thew
| declared that there should be no IL
censes at all, thus putting large num-
Der of places out of business. So far
| the Hawaii Board has not taken any
such action, and applicants are wait
ing to hear their fate.

The inter-island wirless service is
working now with regularity and
rapidity it has never achieved before,

tect Starbuck of Oakland, Cal, from
the preliminary designs he submitted,
have now been received and meetings
of the directors and of the stockholders
will be held shortly for the purpose of

WILLIAMS ADVISES PAYMENT.
County Attorney Williams has render
ed opinions for Auditor Mcguire in the
matters of the payment of the old
police claims under the act of the re
cent legislature appropriating funds of
this county for such payment, and the
matter of the Honolulu Iron Works
bills for road machines In both cases
payment is recommended.
Williams quotes numerous authorities
ID support of the right of the legisla
ture to appropriate county treasury
funds, and it is understood that there
will be no further contest in this mat
ter. In the case of the Honolulu Iron
Works, Auditor Mcguire is likely to
be stopped by an injunction from max
ing payment until the matter of the
validity of the contract is settled
