dren, worse than Incompetence, to go
ahead and have the road surveyed and
bids advertised for, for constructing
it, and then refuse to sign the contract.
That Kakana road is important; we we
got the money and we don't want to
stay here and horde up lot of money
for election. We re not banks, to
horde up money for election day. Mr..
Logan says that we have the money;
the auditor says we have the money,
and we pledged the people when we
were elected that we would build that
road.
"Good roads around this island will
do more towards advertising us than
all the work the promotion committee
can do. We've sworn to do our duty
by the people; the people on the other
side of the island want that road, and
| they're going to have it,"
Cox's oratory.
Cox took a whirl at oratory. "It's
all right, y he said, "to say that we
must build that road, but Kahana was
never mentioned in the first resolu-
ton. 1t was the Kaluanui beach road.
Nothing was said about the other. 1
don u mind if we spend $4,000 to build
| that road, but when it comes to $4,000
or 100000, it is time to look out. 1t
| is up to US to spend money properly
and not for the benefit of the auto
mobile people. | don't kick for having
good roads, but we must see that we
have money enough to carry out the
contract. Let us go ahead with the
Kaluanui road. ! think this will be
over $4,000 spent for contract work.
Do we want to have to cut down salo-
riesi l won It stand for il"
Quinn bounced to his feet again.
"Mr Cox" he said, "is laboring under
wrong impression. We have got the
money right here now. We won have
TO cut down any salaries. The trouble
is, it all politics. Where do you get
your revenue2 1t 3 from the tourists
just as well as from sugar. That belt
road will ADVERT ,e us as much as the
promotion commi stee can. It's not all
selfish on my part, although l admit
IN interested. We are elected for the
whole island and it's our duty to rep
resent the whole island. I'm tired Of
this horse play"
Kane Gives Voice.
Kane gave voice once more. The
supervisors were there to represent the
whole people. Two roads were proposed
by the board The supervisors had
promised the people to give them good
roads and they were doing SO. But they
did not intend to finish the road around
the island. They would leave that for
the next board. "And," yelled Kane,
81 IN not going to stand being called
children" Just what he was going to
do about it Kane neglected to state.
Logan practically suggested that it
might be as well to leave the matter for
the next meeting. The mayor broke in
and tried to shut off any further dis.
cussiOn by suggesting that the super
visOrs has been called together to pass
on the payrolls and had no business
to discuss anything else, anyway.
And so the question was left in the
air but frowned upon by the majority
of the supervisors.
Supervisor Mcclellan mentioned the
fact that the merchants association
had requested q conference on the tele.
phone matter. On his motion Tuesday
at three O'Clock was set for the time
of the conference, the county attorney
and his deputy aud the city and county
engineer being instructed TO be present.
The supervisors adjourned To meet
next time at half past seven Tuesday
evening,
