seemed to no. In fact, there seemed
to be very little light available on the
subject. Finally the whole matter was
passed up to the road committee.
The sum of $1,000 was appropriated
for use in repairing and refurnishing
schoolhouses. 1t was explained that
the $4,000 originally appropriated had
already been exhausted, and that more
money was needed in order to carry
on the absolutely necessary repair
work. There was no opposition and

Another resolution, appropriating an

ly needed, the resolution slipped
through without any opposition. This
is the third appropriation for the cur
rent six months that has been made
necessary by the present law govern
ing the publication of ordinances of
the City and County of Honolulu.
A question was raised concerning the
legality of the appointment Of Lane as
fish inspector, when the demand for
his salary came up. Mcclellan thought
| that it took five members of the board
to appoint. Aylett insisted that all it
requires is a majority.
| The deputy county attorney upheld
| Aylett IS contention, but expressed
| doubt as to whether Lane had had
majority of the board backing him. He
mentioned that there were six present,
and that, in consequence, it required
| four to constitute majority. The min
utes showed that only five voted, Cox
being excused. Milverton expressed
the belief that the fact that Cox was
excused did not alter the fact that four
votes were needed to appoint.
However, the attorney stated that,
Lane having transacted the duties of
the Office he was entitled to the pay,
so the demand was passed, only Me.
Clellan voting no.
Whether or not MakilSi field is to be
used for athletics is another question
that come up. 1t was reported that
Allan Herbert objected to the use Of
the park for football and baseball prac-
tise, owing to the fact that grass has
been planted. Kane seemed to think
that the grass should be protected.

have the field to play on and leaving
the grass to get along as best it can.
The latter suggestion met with the
approval of Supervisor Logan, who
said that, the park was dedicated for
free use and always had been free.
Aylett observed that some of the
had received their training on Makiki
field. He did not seem very strongly
in favor of closing the park to ball
players for the purpose of turning it
into botanical garden.
| Finally the whole matter was re-
| ferred to the road committee. This
probably means that Makiki field will
continue to be used as a baseball and
| football field, regardless of the oppo.
sition of the neighboring landowners.
AS far as can be learned, the majority
of persons residing in the community
are in favor of allowing the boys to
play on the field to their hearts con-
tent.
Tenders for supplies for the coming
month were opened and read, and the
clerk was ordered to tabulate them and
advise the lowest bidders that their
offers were accepted.
The board adjourned until Friday
evening next.
