my approval, a resolution entitled
Resolution Making Appropriations for
the Various Services of the City and
County of Honolulu presented to me.
as Mayor of the City and County of
Honolulu, for approval, under Section
20 of the Municipal Act.
my chief objection to the resolu-

/ it seems to me, illegal methods pro-
vided for drawing the money appropri-
ated under the resolution in question
from the City and County Treasury
and paying the same over to third par
ties presumed to be entitled thereto.

period beginning with the 4th day of

these funds between the various de-
partments and head officers of the city
and county, and, after further provid-
ing for the expenditure of ten thou
sand and fifty dollars from the road
tax general fund of the City and
County of Honolulu, for the building
and making of roads and bridges,
makes the following provisions and
