In thanking the members for this

to County success, saying the work of
the past two years had all gone to make
a successful administration of affairs.
He said the board was like the beard
of directors of a corporation. The peo-

dividends were in good streets, police
and fire protection.
cit may sound conceited,' he said,
Ebut l think the affairs of the county
have been managed as well as those
of the Territorial government They
cannot touch us. We have always had
money in the bank and paid our war
rants in cash right along. We have
saved some and come out on top. 1
will look back in years to come on this |
and feel proud of this |
board s record If I should ever again
come back to the board I want to land |
again among seven as good Hawaiians
as I have been associated with. I say |
this from the bottom of my heart.
Everybody Talks, !
Supervisor Cox expressed his apTre-
citation of Chairman Hustace admins
tration of affairs on behalf of the outer
districts. There were many improve
mehtS now that would never have been
made by the Territory.
Mr.. Fern said he had been sorry he
had run for mayor. He had been
brought into court several times, but
now it was happily ended and he would
be mayor in fact. He hoped the mem
bers of the new board would work in
harmony. He hoped the new board
would not spend the county money in
a hurry, but do it conservativeiy.
Aloha from All.
Mr.. Dwight had nothing to say, and
Mr. Kealoha said "Aloha." Mr.. Ar
cher said he was glad to state that
the chairman had always done his
duty by the county. Mr.. Archer said
rs TO himself that he had worked for
the best interest of Eva district. and
now there was a fine macadamized
road from Pukaki Hill to honolulu,
over which autoists enjoyed their runs.
The County Attorney thanked the
chairman and members for courteous
treatment and for help given his of,
fee throughout. The Attorneys office
now had fine law library. When
he came in there We're only a few old
books. He challenged any county in
the United States to show as efficient
and economical government as had
been administered in Oahu County.
The Deputy Attorney spoke in like
manner.
