Enabling Act Two.
Kaleiopu was on hand at the right
time with his new Enabling Act, this
one reviewing the mistakes made by
the Supervisors under the strings of
the able City Attorney and his active
Deputy, referring with more sadness
than anger to the decision of the Su-
preme Court, which showed that the
advice of the City Attorney and his
able Deputy had been to lead the trust
ing Supervisors astray and make mon
keys of them, and providing that those
who put their faith in the board IS as
sumption and went to work should be
paid.
The bill passed first reading and went
on special order of the day for today.
In part it is as follows:
"Whereas, The Board Of Supervis-
ors of the City and County of Homo
lulu, believing that under and by vir-
tue of the powers given to said board
by the act creating said City ami
County of Honolulu, said board had
the right to employ certain persons
necessary to carry on the public work
of said municipality, and did there
upon and thereafter, either directly or
through the committees and agents of
said board, contract with and employ
the persons necessary to perform such
public work of said municipality; and
.Whereas, By decision and iudg-
ment of the Territory of Hawaii duly
rendered and made on the 1st day Of
March, 1909, in the case of Territory
of Hawaii ex Relatione, Charles Cos
ter V. Richard II. Trent, as Treasurer
of the City and County of Honolulu,
it was held and determined that said
Board of Supervisors of the City and
County of Honolulu had no legal right
or authority so to employ persons to
perform the public work of said mu-
nicipality; and
Whereas, The said persons so en-
ployed by said Board of Supervisors
and by its committees and agents have
actually performed work and rendered
services to said City and County of
Honolulu in reliance upon such con
tract and employment; and
Whereas, 1t is just and proper that
those persons who have in good faith
actually performed work and rendered
services for the benefit of said City
and County of Honolulu should receive
payment therefor; now, therefore,
Be it Enacted by the Legislature
of the Territory of Hawaii:
'.Section + The Board of Supervis-
ors of the City and County of Homo
lulu are hereby authorized to examine,
allow and order paid all claims and de-
mands for services actually rendered
said city and county between the 4th
day of January, 1909, and the 18th day
of March, 1909, inclusive, by persons
employed by said city and county
through said Board of Supervisors or
employed by any committee or agent
of said board authorized by said board
to make such employment, and the
Auditor of the City and County of
Honolulu is authorized and directed to
issue warrants on the Treasurer of the
City and County of Honolulu in favor
of such persons whose claims and de-
mands have been SO examined, allow
ed and ordered paid by said board.
And all warrants heretofore issued by
the Auditor TO persons who have been
actually so employed by said board,
are hereby confirmed, validated and
approved and shall have like effect as
if said warrants were issued after the
taking effect of this act. ~
