MARCH ESTIMATES
AMOUNT TO S43,O|5
Harmonious Meeting Of
Supervisors Held
Last Night

The Supervisors varied the pro-
gram last night by holding a harmo-
NOUS meeting and grinding out lot
of routine work. There wasn't a
scrap of any kind worthy the name.
Archer and Hustace did nave little
spat, but it didn't amount to much
and soon blew over. Archer's feel
ings had been hurt by Electrician
Frazee, the latter not having thought
fl to run after the chairman of the
Electric Light Committee and hold a
confab with him every little while.
As consequence Archer wanted to
cut down the monthly appropriation
for Frazee's department from $1,000
to $3.50. Hustace rather forcibiy
pointed out to Archer the improperly
| of his conduct and succeeded in
| whipping him into line and having
him place the appropriation at the
cid figure.
The principal work of the evening
was the passing of estimates for the
month of March. Plans for spending
a total of S43,615 were made. This
is about $4,000 more than the
amount for the month of February,
but the County seems to be a little
flush Just now, so the County Faith
ers felt that they could afford to be a
little more generous in their esti-
mates. OF the total amount $4,000
goes to the road department.
| Garbage wasn't mentioned during
the evening, except when the appro-
prlation for the department was be-
ing made. Then the fact was brought
out that the department Is running ut
less expense than ever before. The
estimated expense for March was ST.
iUO,-s1OO less than for the previous
month. Hustace expressed some sur
prise at this and turned to Sam
johnson to ask If he thought he
could get along on $1400. johnson
replied that he could. as since the
Pauoa sewer was connected up there
was less work for the department tc
do. For the past two months, hi
said, the department had not beer
using up its entire appropriation.
Harvey wanted an extra appropri
alton OF 500 to oil a piece of roat
) out on Kalakaua avenue. He said h,
was out there last Sunday and tn,
natives threw dirt on him becaus
the work had not been done before
Dwight promised to see that the roat
is oiled.
To Make More Juice o.
1t was decided to take steps towar,
charging the capacity of the electri
light plant, so as to reduce the light
ing bill of the city. The prosperity
completion of the Nuuanu dam as
sures plentiful supply of water. A
the instance of Chairman Hustace
Archer moved that the superintend
ent of the electric light department
call for bids fora new belt and waite
wheel for the electric light plant. II
explained that this would probabl
cost somewhere in the neighborhoo
of $4,000. Hustace said the idea
: to put in wheel which will carr
100 more lights.
After this matter had been debate
for half an hour, to enable the men
bers of the Board to understand 1t,
was put, to vote and carried. Wit
this matter disposed of, the estimate
for the month of March, aggregatin
S43,615, were adopted after bein
read by Archer.

Parks can proceed in the matter

and adjoining any public street
