SUPERVISORS
TALK LITTLE
lrrom weanesday,s Advertiser.l

get home, pervaded the meeting of the
Board of Supervisors last night. There
was practically no discussion of any
of the matters that came up and every.
thing went through sweetly and
smoothly.
The appropriation bill passed third
reading on the mention of its title
and the call of the roll in which there
were no dissenting voices.
1t looked as though there might be
n heated discussion at one time when
the matter of appropriating sufficient
amount to purchase an inkpot and pen
for the fish inspector came up, but
Aylett explained so clearly and neatly
the necessity for these articles that
oil was poured on the troubled waters
and the appropriation was passed with
out dissent.
After the minutes of three previous
meetings had been read and approved,
Logan stated that he needed more time
for the report of the ways and means
committee. Appropriations were then
made for the municipal office rent,
$3.50; donation to the Leah home,
1925; road department, $16S.70 for
salaries and $l05 for supplies for Ko-
olauloa district out of the special fund
and $1075.60 for the same district out
of the general fund.
Quinn then made proposition with
regard to the supervision of road build
ing on the other side of the Island.
He stated that A. A. Wilson who con-
tracts for work with the o. r. & L.
Co. on a basis of commission on the
cost of the work done, has offered to
| provide the tools and camping outfit
for making roads and to supervise the
work of building roads on the weather
side of the Island for a commission of
| Is per cent of the cost of the work
| done.
Mr.. Quinn thought that this would
be a very much cheaper way of doing
things than having to purchase tools
and send camping outfit so far away.
Other members of the board agreed
with him and a resolution was passed
authorizing the closing of the arrange
ment, by four to two.
Jail Gets Blankets.
An appropriation was made for the
police department including many
necessities for the county jail
Amongst these were 125 single blankets
and $50 worth of shelves.
The City and County Treasurer IS re
port for June was approved. Cash OF
hand at the beginning of the month
was 500 ,506.03 The income for tn,
| 81 o-
$56,164S6. The disbursements for tn,
month were $31 ,4s0.60, leaving a bal
ance to start July on of $24,6S4.26.
DR.. Mackall turned in a report oil
twenty-five INDECENT inmates of tn
Queen Hospital and was himself pres
ent to ask the board that some DISPOSE
ton be made of these patients or tina
they be provided for in some way
Several of them, he thought, shoul'
be transferred to the Leah home.
Campbell Gives Up Jails.
A notice was received from Marsto1
Campbell, superintendent of Publ
Works, to the effect that he ha
formally turned over to the City an
County of Honolulu the custody an
control of courthouses, jails and jail
ers' cottages in the six districts o
the county.
Then Aylett introduced his apprc
priation for the poor fish inspecto
who has no chair to sit on, no box i
which to place his condemned fish fo
, exhibition and not even a pen wit
which to sign his name. So it was a
E ranged that he should have thes
!. necessary conveniences and will now /
/ able to interview offending fish-monI
ers in proper state.
Legless Inspectors.
n This brought to Quinn s mind thi
s the inspectors are all legless, 1t is
t be hoped that he was talking met
phorically only. He said they had N,
n leg to stand on. He inferred thi
IS they were unable to enforce the la
% until an ordinance was passed e
: abling them to do so.
% For about two minutes it looked
though Logan would object. He d
e start to say something, but the kind
I, spirit of amity which pervaded Il
y proceedings caused him to give W;
e. courteously TO Quinn opinion and
IF was decided that Mr.. Milverton shou
L meet with the Health committee al
y draw up a suitable ordinance.
~ ~ To Beautify Makiki.
a. Another suggestion of Quinn's, tn
o. was acted on, was an excellent o
+ and will do no harm to the supervis
is in his own district. 1t was that t
n. caretaker of the three little strips
is park on the waterfront should
" transferred to Makik park, as t
er government has given notice of bise'
q. ing the waterfront strips, which W
of reduce them to almost nothingne
ne while Makiki park is situated in t
center of n beautiful residence distrI
rs and, now that water pipes and fawc'
n have been installed, the park shot
III he kept up, Quinn stated that, wi
at the help of the prisoner gang the ca
b. taker can make beautiful place @
rs of Makiki. The park, it was sugge
le ed, should be beautifed as much
IS. possible without uniting it for spor
ne Band for Mcclellan.
