the District of Honolulu, and as Super
intendent of the Garbage Depa rtment.
In so doing I feel it my pleasant duty
to express myself most favorably
towards the employees of the two de-
partments, who through long service,
loyalty and efficiency have enabled me
I also wish to thank the members of
the present Board for the hearty CO.
operation and kind support offered me
at all times, and with much apprecia-
ton, I remain,
Very respectfully,
SAML JOHNSON,
Road Supervisor Honolulu.
The chair eulogized the good work
done by Col. Johnson and expressed
himself as sorry that he could not
serve his term out.
Harvey said that the board couldn't
hold Johnson If he wanted to leave
and added that he was probably going
to better himself in his new sphere.
He saw nothing to do but to accept the
resignation and moved to that effect.
Archer referred to Johnson's good
work and in seconding Harvey's mo- |
ton expressed his personal aloha.
The motion was unanimously carried. |
The chair thanked Johnson for the
board for the way he had attended to |
his duties and stated that he had come
as near pleasing everybody as it was
possible for a man to do. He wished /
him success in his new position and |
expressed a hope that his successor
as Col. Johnson had been.
A DIsPLEAsING LETTER.
The following communication was
also read:
Honolulu. T. H., May 10, 1908.
Board of Supervisors, County of Oahu.
Gentlemen: / beg to call to your at
tention.-th it is two months and
week today, since the last petition was
filed and so far nothing has been done
towards what has been petitioned for,
except one small light, which I and the
balance wish to thank you gentlemen
for, but, certainly would like to have
you comply with the petition.
I further wish TO be informed If the
board intends to comply with the Pc
tition and I further wish to call to
your attention, that considerable road
work has been done on different roads
since the first and second petitions
We're filed and we have been waiting
and are still waiting and I and the
balance of the voters and taxpayers
consider it an injustice, especially for
the reason that the people with the
pull are served first and we. the work
ing class, have to wait till you get
good and ready.
Respectfully yours,
JOSE J. DIAS.
The chair thought that the letter
was disrespectful and said that when
Dias learned to write a decent letter
it's contents would have the recogni-
ton of the board and not before.
