The result of the recall of the pres
ent Japanese Ambassador will prob
ably be that no immigration treaty
will be negotiated between the two
governments at present. 1t is under
stood that President Roosevelt was
willing to enter into negotiations for
such treaty in the event of the reap
pointment of Aoki, but that he is not
willing to negotiate through Takahira.

When the bills came in for payment,
amounting to $26O15, the Board re-
fused to pay for same
A report of County Engineer Gere
was read in which he stated that he
had examined the work and found a
good job, and the bill reasonable.
Chairman Hustace declared that
under the present circumstances he
would vote with the Board to pay the
bill, but never again would he do
such thing
Archer expressed the same view.
Hustace and Harvey flayed Kealoha
for his part in the matter, declaring
that he had authorized the work, all

never a word. He even sidestepped

directly appealed to.
The bill was finally ordered paid on

pay at the rate of SITE per month for
the time which he acted as prosecuting
attorney in the District Court without
the sanction of the Board got another
rundown. Kealoha and Cox were the
only members who voted to pay the
amount
When the matter came up at the
previous meeting it had been referred
on the legality of the payment of the
amount, and as to the liability of the
County for the claim. The matter had
been submitted to Assistant County
| Attorney Oleson, who had furnished a
written opinion, which sidestepped the

the amount, but advised that there
was no question that the payment by
| vote of the Board would be proper anC
legal. But the Board didn't feel like
| doing this, and so Brown is still whist.
