of the fifty odd members of company
d National Guard of Hawaii, want TO
90 to the eneampment ordered by Col.
Soper for period of five days be-
ginning with February 20.
County Clerk Sam Pua has received
a reply from Surveyor Wall to the let
ter recently written by him at the re-
quest of the Hilo Board of Trade, re-
garding maps and records which the
Territorial bureau was asked to leave
in Hilo. These are records which have
been in Surveyor Baldwin office, but
have been sent to Honolulu. The reply
does not definitely refuse to allow the
records to remain here, but apparently
means the same thing. 1t says that
when the county or the legislature pro-
vides for county engineer of Hawaii,
or establishes a survey office, the Ter
ritorial survey department will do all
it can to supply complete records for
such office or department. There are
duplicates of the records in Honolulu,
but the copies are very necessary to
Hilo business men.
Leon Peralto, driver of Volcano
stables wagon. fell from his wagon on

A statement showing the cost of run
ming the county during the year 1906
was prepared by Auditor Mcguire for
this month IS meeting of the Board of
Supervisors. 1t showed total ex-
penditure during the twelve months of
$3.50, 6S1.5s, of which about $SS,000 went
for road work, over $4,000 for the
police, nearly $4,000 to purchase prop
erty, about $4,000 for the band and
$1400 for parks.
The claim of Honolulu Iron Works
Co., Ltd, on its contract to supply
road machinery, which the Board of
Supervisors repudiated, was referred
by the casting vote of the chairman to
the finance committee. When the pres
emit Board took Office there was no
money to pay for the machinery, and
the County Act prohibits a county
board from mourning any debt. For
this reason this contract made by the
previous board is held to be illegal.
Plans were agreed upon during the
recent visit of George Lyeurgus and
R. W. Shingle to the Volcano house for
improvements in the place.
Eighteen rooms are to be added, in an
of the building towards the
sulphur beds, and new diningroom
IS to be put in. The diningroom will be
A projection from the front of the
house, and will command a direct view
Of the crater. The kitchen will be en-
arged and fireplace will be put in
the diningroom, instead of the stove
now used. Other Improvements which
we're decided upon are the erection of
4 club room and construction of ten
MS court and bowling alley near the
house.
