CITY HAS JUST
ENOUGH MONEY
CONTINUED from rage one.)

AyleIJ, anu not nave anything 10 90
with the appointment of a man."
How can you pay a man if you have
no MANI" asked Quinn
Logan remarked that Aylett was way
off his base.
The report was adopted, three to two,
Aylett and AHA voting no"
The same committee recommended
that the proposed ordinance regulating
the breaking up, digging up, disturb>
ance, undermining and digging under
public highways be substituted for
proposed ordinance submitted by Sup
ervisor AHA on June %.
Aylett wanted to know what ordt-
nance was subtituted by this report.
At the last meeting ne knew, he saio,
that there was some underhand work.
Quinn had said he had lost the or
dinance and had substituted for the
ordinance his own without consulting
the committee. 1t was underhand
work, he declared The report should
come in as a substitute ordinance"
Quinn said the ordinance, originally,
was introduced in June. The juris-
diction of the public streets PROPOSE
ton was submitted to the CITY At
torney. Aylett was supposed to have
understood everything, but had ap-
parently forgotten.
City Attorney Milverton stated that
there had been an ordinance by AHA,
submitted to his Office. The ordinance
reported on was the one fixed up by
the Attorneys Office and submitted to
the Board and referred to the COM
mittee
Aylett declared Quinn, as chairman
of the road committee, had ordered
the City Attorney to draw a new one.
Milverton showed that the AHA ordi-
nance had been passed on by the At
torney, signed by AHA as introducer
and introduced by AHA.
Logan explained that there was
nothing to talk about except what was
to be done with the submitted draft; it
was not an ordinance until passed by
the Board, otherwise it was so much
waste paper. The Mayor showed that
AHA had signed both ordinance drafts;
what difference did it make what diff
| ference there might be between the two
drafts so long as the Board knew what
it was acting on?
On motion the report Of the COM
mittee was adopted, Aylett alone vot-
ing in the negative. On first reading
passage later the vote was unanimous.
In re communication from George
| Chalmers, road overseer of Wanna
nalo, the same committee stated thar
there was mistake made as the said
road overseer was under the impress
sion that the cost for pipes and freight
was to come out of special aDpropria-
ton. In this item along with the
freight be deducted from the $500 al
lotted to his district then he will have
already overdrawn his appropriation
a little. 1--WE are of the opinion that
it will take about $500 more to install
the piping and complete the two turns
in the Waimanalo pail which are in a
very dangerous condition for automo-
biles to travel. We would therefore
recommend that $500 be appropriated
out of the general fund for the compile
ton of the road.
1--WE find that George Chalmers has
done a great deal of. work for the
money he had on hand, and we think
that with this extra $500 he will have
the Waimanalo road in first class con-
dition, excepting repairing some
bridges that will have to be fixed
later"
Next Aylett wanted to know Quinn's
road expenditure policy. If they were
going to allow a country overseer what
he wanted, why not allow the Homo
lulu road overseera what he asked
Quinn had stated said Aylett, that the
Honolulu overseer; was ont ALLOWED
owe his pro rata; now to shut down one
overseer and let another have lee way
was not fair.
Logan said Aylett was mistakingEy
stating what purported to be facts
Chalmers asked the Board when he
wanted an extra expenditure, over pre-
rata: the difference was that the Ho'
nolulu overseer had spent certain
money ahead. Aylett contended thai
Chalmers had gone over his appropr1a'
ton. Cox opposed any department go
ing beyond it's allowance, on the slA
months system. The report of the
committee was adopted, three to two
Aylett and AHA voting in the negative
The following recommendations from
various committees were adopted: $l5'
for police materials and supplies, bu
rial expenses of INDECENT dead, outside
of regular police allowance; S35 main
enance police and fire alarm payroll;
that the Union Feed Co. pay SIS pei
