PAE[E CAN NOT
SATISFY QUINN
Latter R0aSts Former Fern
and Mcclellan to the
Rescue.

Paele, the road overseer of Koolau-
poke, was the storm center again at
the meeting of the Board of Super
visors yesterday, Supervisor Quinn in
dulging in tongue-lashing of the Of
fetal, while Supervisor Mcclellan and
Mayor Fern focked to the rescue. AS
the other Supervisors seemed to side
with the Democrats, Quinn had to sub
NIT to seeing roast he had given
Paele in report struck out.
There was a good deal of routine,
some desultory debate, and a little
quarreling at the meeting, but nothing
either exciting or constructive. The
full membership of the Board was pres
ent, with four from the staff of the
City Clerks Office to keep track of the
proceedings. Why there should be
only four present from that staff is not
explained.
Progress Road Program.
Chairman Quinn of the committee on
roads, etc., presented the following re-
port on the road work, the last para
graph being struck out before the ac-
ceptanee of the report:
In regard to the plan of work for
the month of June, 1909, we would rec
ommend continued work on the Pail
road; also on the Punchbowl road, I'M
til that road is finished, also continue
King street as far as the Capitol
building then commence on Merchant
street, Palace Square to Nuuanu
street and, if. possible, to do some
work on Fort street
"The work for the month of May in
the district of Honolulu has proceeded
very satisfactorily
For the district Of Eva, we would
recommend that work on the PENN
sular road be completed and as much
work as possible done on the belt road
towards Waialua.
I'VE will state that Mr.. John H.
Travis, road overseer, is building a
very fine road there, and building very
rapidly under the circumstances.
For the district of Waialua, con-
tinue the work that they are on at the
present time.
I'VE will also state that Mr.. Charles
Kukea, road overseer, is doing splen-
did work and lots of it for the money
he is spending.
"For the district of Koolauloa, we
would recommend that they continue
the belt road which they are on at
the present time.
Mr. Andrew Adams, road overseer

and building it very rapidly.
For the district of Koolaupoko, we
would recommend that they COM
mence at the foot of Kaneohe hill and
macadamize towards Heeia; that no
other work be done in that district
but keep one cantonier at the Pail.
1--WE are sorry to say that there has
been practically no work done in that
district for the month of May. That
we do not understand what has be-
come of the money as Mr.. J. K. Paeie,
the road overseer, had about $1,000 10
spend We fail to see where he put
it. He certainly did not spend it on
the road in a judiciou= manner, but
we hope he will do better for the
present month
Mcclellan ReSents Roast
Mcclellan announced that he did not
propose TO stand for any report that
said what this one did about Paele, VINO
was doing as good work as posslnie
under the circumstances.
Quinn informed him that he dldn I
know what he was talking about aud
proceeded to supplement his written
roast by warm verbal one He com
pared the work of the kooiaupoko
overseer with that Of the work OF other
overseers, stating that Paele had spent
$1,000 in partly building less than a
hundred yards of road.
'EHe is simply wasting and frlt'eF.
ing away the money of the taxpayers,
said Quinn ''We are not here to al
low anything of the kind TO continue.
I have given in before in regard to
this man, but I do not intend to BACK
down concerning him any more.
Mayor Fern remined the members
that Paele had to put tfgravels . on
what road he had built, which account
ed for a part of the expense, While
Mcclellan proceeded TO point out that
Quinn did know what he was talking
about.
"Well, do as you think fit about it, :.
said Quinn. "fThat is my report and
it is an honest report. Adopt it or re-
turn it, whichever you want. :"
Kane favored striking out the Of
Tending clause, and Aylett moved to
return the report to the committee and
refuse to accept reports on road work
until the various road supervisors had
reported, according to resolution. p" we
passed motion or a resolution OF
something that reports must be made
