applause, which expressed in the
preamable the Boards appreciation of
"the able and jealous administration

made a general financial statement

said people did not realize the fact
that the board had handled $1044,0OO
in its two years of Office 81 want to

fairs as well as the outgoing one,
do not think there will ever be any
call for government by commission
After the adoption of the resolution
Mr. Hustace said in part 1--WE have
made a success. l think the affairs OF
the county have been administered as
well as the Territorial affairs. We
have not registered a warrant, we have

having belonged to a board composed
of Hawaiians." He then called for re-
