MAYOR vETOES
MILK ORDINANCES
(From Wednesday Advert SER,


nances have been vetoed by the Mayo
At last nights meeting of the Boar
of Supervisors His Honor returned bot
ordinances without his approval. o.
dinance No u, providing for the in
spection Of milk, dairies and dair.
cows, was accompanied by veto GOV
ering four pages of legal cap.
The Mayors objections to the ordi
nances come under twS heads: Unneces
sary legislation, and unfairness to tn
small dealer. Many of the sections o,
the ordinances, the Mayor points out
are, according to his belief, covered b,
existing territorial laws, and therefore
do not afford any greater protection
than that now given.
In referring to section ] of Ordi
nance No. 13, the dairy ordinance, Hi!
Honor SAYS: "As it now stands, sec
ton of this ordinance does not seem
to correctly express what l am sure is
the intent of the section. Under its
terms should the ordinance be enacted
person would be guilty of violation
of the ordinance, and become liable to
punishment. if. for instance, such per.
son should permit deadly weapon to
be brought into or upon the dairy
premises.
Certain sections of the ordinance
would, says the Mayor in his veto,
practically work the confscation of the
property of small dairymen who are
not in position to comply with the
terms of the proposed law.
Both ordinances are carefully gone
over, section by section, and in both
cases Mayor Fern expresses his sym.
pathv with any movement to protect
The people of the city from impure
milk but he demands fairness toward
the dairymen.
Action on the vetoes was delayed
until later date in accordance with
the requirements of law.
Clark Appointment Valid.
Charles Clark is the duly appointed
inspector of Kaluanui Beach road work.
That much was settled in an opinion
of Deputy County Attorney Milverton,
submitted last night and duly spread
npon the minutes of the meeting. The
u Ed'llN VI Nldlh HdS
been moot question for some time,
but, according to the county attorneys s
opinion, the inspector was appointed
considerably more thoroughly than
there was any necessity.
In brief, Milverton expressed the be-
lief that Ceres appointment of the
inspector was all that was necessary,
and that subsequent action by the
board had absolutely no effect upon the
case.
Object to Autos.
Bethel street merchants, and hack
drivers on the Bethel street stand, do
not want an automobile stand on the
street. A petition, signed by num-
her of those interested, was submitted
to the supervisors, and was duly re
ferred to the road committee. Chair.
man Quinn of the committee expressed
the belief that Bethel street is hardly
the place for an automobile stand and
his words were not very promising for
those who are anxious to station line
of benzine buggies along the side of
the narrow highway.
Mayor Fern announced that he had
appointed Bill Luu and W. A. Kalai
iantors of the Moiliili and Pauoa pub
lie schools respectively. The board ap.
proved both of the appointments, evi-
IDENTIFY agreeing with His Honor as to
the necessity for the appointment of
me additional dust chasers.
Salary Demands.
A few salary demands were passed
upon and ordered paid and the ten.
ders for furnishing the county with
supplies needed for the care of the
school, grounds were also read. The
board listened dutifully to the reading
of The bids, but the comparative prices
of Pc, nsylvania and other types of
lawnm, wers were too much for them
and tn, Y turned the whole bunch over
to the county engineer with instruc-
tions tt dig out the lowest bidders and
see tina, they get the contracts.
When the motion was made to give
Gere thu job of ascertaining who the
lowest bidders might be, Aylett and
Quinn were out in the hall. Quinn
shouted his aye through the doorway,
but ANett entered the room just as
the clerk was entering the vote In.
stantly he smelt a rat, and demanded
that he be told what had been done.
There was a general snicker throughout
the room, which only made the irate
supervisor the madder, and the clerk
hastened TO read the resolution, fear.
ing that the portly solon might have
apOplexy. After he had heard the mo-
tion he thundered out his aye, an
nounced that he wanted his vote re
corded, and forgot all about it.
The board adjourned until 7:3C
o'clock tomorrow night when payroll'
and other business of Importance vii
be taken up for consideration.
