Feed Matter Is Settled
LAKE IS CHARGED WITH LESE MAJESTE


ent incumbency of the Office of Dep |
uty County Attorney, with no pros
pect of an amicable settlement of the |
same. and believing that my insist
ence upon retaining the Office in the |
face of such controversy would result |
in benefit neither to the County nor
to anyone else, have concluded to
withdraw from the Office. Accord
ingly, now ask your approval of my
retirement.
81 take the opportunity to ex-|
press my sincere appreciation Of the
considerable attitude that the men,
bers of your honorable body, both
collectively and individually, have at
all times during my term of office
borne toward me-"
Harvey moved to accept the resig-
nation. This carried unanimously.
A letter was then read from Cath
cart, stating that +. w. Milverton
mad been appointed in olson's place,
and asking for the Boards approval.
do you really need an assistant,
Mr.. Cathcart?" asked Harvey.
II certainly do" answered Cath
cart. "If | did not / would not ask
for 1t. The police report shows an
increase Of arrests and also of con-
victions, which shows that there is
much work"
1t was moved that Milverton re-
ceive a salary of s1S5 a month, the
same as Olson, to begin with today
This carried.
Holt as Informer
An affidavit was read from John
ID. Holt, in which he reported that
County Detective Lake had said, ITO
hell with the Supervisors" and other
disrespectful remarks regarding that
august body.
Dignity sorely Hurt
| This is all new to me-" said Hus-
tace. Il think this should be refer
red to the County Attorney"
II should like very much to have
that DONE" said Cathcart.
/. But Archers dignity was greatly
wounded. He wanted to have the
matter referred to a committee of
, Supervisors.
! Cox took very common-sense view
of the matter. He said that he did
not care what a man said about him
} SO long as he did his duty. II such
remarks had been made to his face it
would be different.
Hustace said, virtuously, that he
did not want to choke the matter OFF.
He appointed Fern, Archer and Ke-
aloha as committee to handle the
matter.
Archer recommended that John II.
Travis, who for eight years had been
bookkeeper for the Oahu Sugar Co.,
to succeed Nawaakoa as road super
} visor of Eva. A motion carrying this
appointment passed.
Hustace called Archer down sharp
ly for a number of bills, amounting
: to $492, which had been incurred in
Eva district without proper author
ity. Archer took 1t meekly and
agreed to have the money taken from
the Eva road fund.
Feed Matter Settled
Dwight brought up the matter OF
the purchase of the feed for the
Honolulu stables. He thought this
, should be purchased by tender.
, Harvey thought that the County
, should buX-all its supplies, such as
= feed, coal, lumber, cement, etc.
5 Il think that 1t might be as well
: to buy everything by tender" said
: Hustace.
Cox moved that this be done.
Harvey wanted the bids called ev,
cry three months. Hustace said II
D would be better to call the bids once
= month, so that the County could
= get the benefit of it when prices were
I low.
T. V. King of the California Feed
Co said, when asked for his opinion
that 1t was immaterial to him how
t often the tenders were called.
And | thank God that have
. nothing to do with it," said Hustace
5 fervently; lat least not the hay and
3 grain part OF 1t. have had enough
5 said about me during the past week
and am not going to do anything
, but sit here with the rest of you"
: A motion to call for tenders once
= month carried.
: King said that he would like &c
congratulate the Board on the action
5 which II had taken, which, he
) thought was eminently proper. All
{ the dealers wanted, he said, was a
= square deal.
Hustace Shuns Politics
A Hawaiian from Pauoa had a kick
because Sam Johnson had fred hin
, and had treated him like dog when
| he came to apologize. Furthermore
the Pauoa people are not being treat
} ed right" he said. "And hold the
votes OF the Pauoa people,"
mo politics here!" exclaimed Hus
tace," horror-stricken.
