that he be allowed an extra $1,000. lie
wanted TO finish up his work before
the rains come and Aylett agreed with
him But Quinn and Kane did not see
it that way. The following communica
ton from the Roads Committee signed
by Quinn and Kane and very emphat-
ically objected to by Aylett explains
the whole situation.
Gentlemen: In relation to a COM
mnication (No. 276) from the Road
Supervisor, your Committee on Roads,
Bridges, Garbage, Parks and Public
Improvements, to whom the said mat
ter was referred, would state that, at
ter investigating same, we find that
| the Road Supervisor asks for an over
draft of $3746.70, or in other words,
in order to pay the bills incurred, he
would be overdraWing $4,000 for the
| month of July, 1909.
The Road Supervisor was informed
in the month of March, that there must
| be no overdraft and that all bills must
be paid promptly; but as it is the policy
of the board, that all bills shall be
! paid monthly, we would have to recon-
mend that the same be paid.
In relation to the suggestion that he
be permitted to overdraw the present
monthly allowance to be taken out
from the December appropriation, that
we do not approve of. The Road Su
| pervisor states that December will be
! liable to be wet month and that little
| work could be done. We do not agree
| with that idea as we do not know
! whether December will be wet or not;
| hI1f no wa
will need the full appropriation in
cases of bridges being washed away or
in cases of heavy damages being done
! to the streets. :
! We have $4,000 appropriation for
the Road Department to run to January
l of the ensuing year. The Road Su-
pervisor knows that; he has competent
clerks or should have. It is up to him
to keep within that limit; to see that
all bills are paid promptly and that all
machineries are kept in good order,
etc.
Logan made a very effective speech
On the subject. He wandered a trife
from the center of things to the mys-
tic rim of generalities, but wound up
in most dramatic way by stating
that there should be no extra appro-
priations while he was there to stand
and fight them, emo, SIR" and that
he would be sent to the north OF Ire
land before he would see the county
of Honolulu in the same box with the
ditto of Kauai, or words to that effect.
Therefore the above report was adopt
ed with three large Ayes and very
vigorous "No' from Aylett.
INDECENT Dead and Brooms.
Several minor matters were then
gone into. Matters of electric light
and $155 for burying the INDECENT dead
were passed easily and quickly. A
request from the Waikiki School for 2
brooms, 2 clocks, wheelbarrow, 4
basins, rakes and that the lawn
mower be repaired was laid on the
table.
No Money for Chalmers.
Then Quinn had his turn. He was
peeved because he had been accused
of leaving his auto standing facing the
wrong way with the engine running.
This was before the meeting, but James
was still upset and, when he found a
chance to vent his wrath, he let it go
on one Chalmers of Waimanalo, who
wanted more money than his appro-
; priation for the roads over in that part
: of the world. Chalmers did not get
+ his extra money.
5 No Bond for Uyeda.
81 A bunch of plumbing bonds were
3 presented for approval and they all
! passed with the exception of that of
, Uyeda who was guaranteed by FL. Su-
4 zuki. The board did not think that
t Suzuki was quite bond enough and SO

8 Medeiros Off Payroll.
i W. r. Medeiros was stricken off the
c police payroll. 1t seems that he was
e put away once before but had been
s reinstated. The supervisors did not
s approve Of this and resolution to bal
d Mr.. Medeiros from the future payroll:
e was unanimously adopted.
A Municipal Affair.
communication was read from tbs
n Mayor inviting the members of tn,
board to be present at the Mayor I
; luau tonight. The invitation began
6 with a statement to the effect that tn
s luau is to be purely municipal affair
Evidently clever reply to the muir
murings that have been bubbling rount
town on account of disgruntled Ter
y ritorial oficeholders who have not bee
f invited. The invitation was accepts
, and thanks returned to the Mayor witt
great enthusiasm,
Quinn began to wonder which wa,
his automobile was pointing about thi
III time and moved for an adjournment
This was carried without any apath
and the board will meet again mex
Tuesday morning at $50.
