THIRD READING
lFrom rhursday.s Advertiserl

(From Thursdays Advertiser)
Five of the new ordinances neeessi-
tated by reason of the Legislature hav-
ing turned over increased responsible
ties to the City and County of Homo
lulu, were passed on third reading by
the Board of Supervisors last night.
The ordinances are: Ordinance No. Z,
regulating the sale of vegetables,
meat, fowl and fish; Ordinance No. 8,
regulating the care of the INDECENT sick
and providing for the appointment of
county physician; Ordinance No. 10,
providing for certificates as to cause of
death from the county physician, and
Ordinance No. IA, regulating the cree
tion and maintenance of tenement
houses.
Ordinance No. IS, regulating the de.
livery of milk, was referred back to
the committee on health and sanitation,
it being considered wise to make some
minor changes before the final reading.
A letter from Captain A. t. Mark,
U. s. NJ. c., quartermaster at Camp
Very, asking that two electric lights be
placed on Ala Moana road for the con
venience of marines going to and from
camp after nightfall, brought up some
little discussion. The request was re-
ferred to the committee on electric
lights, and Supervisor Quinn took oc-
casion to call attention to the request
of S. NJ. Damon that four lights be
placed near the entrance to his Moana.
lua estate.
Quinn expressed the belief that the
request should be granted, as Mr.. Da-
mon had already done great many
things for the city, and he thought it
only right that when he saw fit to ask
for something he should get it. Quinn
also thought that the request of Cap
tain Mark should be granted in that
the marines are a distinct asset to the
community.
Should Wait Turn.
Aylett, as a member of the committee
on electric lights, objected to granting
the requests off-hard. He thought that
the applications should be acted on in
the order in which they are received,
| and that both Damon ard the marine
people should be required to wait their
turn.
Quinn demurred at this reasoning,
| insisting that lights should be placed
| where they are most needed, without
regard to the order in which the APP
plications are placed on file. The dis
cussion closed with the intimation that
| the lamps are to be installed at once.
Bids for material and supplies for
the coming month were read and mo.
tion passed awarding the contracts to
the lowest bidders for the differer
| items.
Several tenders for supplying new
| desks for some of the public schools
were opened. Supervisor Logan moved
that they all be referred to the ways
| and means committee, there being some
doubt concerning the amount of money
| that would be available for Their pur-
chase.
Waikane Bridge Completed.
County Engineer Gere reported that
work on the Waikane bridge was con
pleted Tuesday, and that his men could
turn their attention elsewhe e. He also
| reported that the school work is near,
ing completion. He expressed the be
lief that $1,000 will covet the cost OF
the schoolhouse renovation work, eX
elusive of the plumbing. He said that
he was not able to hazard a que as
to the cost of that
81 believe tina. we should devote
the rest of the money on hand to the
schools in the outside dist 'cts," said
Gere in conclusion. "'The schools al
Aiea, Pearl City and Wai-lua Pal ,icu
larly require attention"
Quinn brought up the question of city
printing. He said that the Bulletir
had complained that it was not getting
its full share.
Bulletin Gets Full Share.
County Clerk Kalauokalani explained
that it has been his practise, pursuant
of instructions from the Board of Su
pervisors, to hand ordinances and sucl
printing out to the papers in success
sion. He did not believe that the Bull
letin had gotten any the worst of it
and he showed his books to prove thai
some of the longest ordinances have
been published in the evening paper.
81 can not pass out part of an ordi
nance to one paper and part to an
other" said Kalauokalani. 81 ear
not tell what ordinances the Superb
sors are going to pass. All that / cal
do is to hand the ordinances out il
turn, and let all of the papers tax,
their chances. i have not heard an,
complaint from the Advertiser or from
the Star when they have gotten tn,
short ones. If the Supervisors are no
satisfied with the way that have beer
doing things, they can take the worl
upon themselves. In that case shall
consider myself relieved from all re
sponsibility."
Quinn fastened to explain that h
was not finding fault and that he sim
ply wanted to know how the matte
is handled. He expressed entire con
fdence in the way the County Clerl
has been transacting the business.
The appropriation for the maintain
ance of the Hawaiian band was, TO
