MAYOR FERN, VETOES SUPERVI-
SORS' GENERAL APPROPRIA-
TON RESOLUTION.

Outwardly all was serene at the
meeting of the City and County Board
of Supervisors last evening, with the
Mayor in the chair, but, while it was
generally expected that His Honor
would veto the payrolls and general
expense bill, it was not anticipated
that he would do so in two thousand
words of semi-legal phraseology and
studied secretarial argument
Clerk Kalauokalani read the docu-
mnet easily and carefully. Supervisor
Logan seemed to have thoroughly di-
gested the figures involved, but not
being prepared to make a budget
speech as might a minister of the ex-
Chequer, tho he be, he moved that
consideration of the Mayors veto mes
sage go over for five days, until Thurs
day evening next which is six days
with Sunday, which was carried. Su-
pervisor Aylett listened to the reading
with the attitude of one prepared then
and there to make a fight, but thought
better of it when it appeared that
the law holds back consideration for
five days. The Supervisors will over
ride Mayor Ferns veto and then the
courts may have a chance at settling
who's who, Auditor Bicknell possibly
refusing to issue warrants
r. w. Cathcart gum-shoed it up to
Supervisor Mcclellan during the read
ing of the Mayors message and hand
ed him the opposition appropriation
bill, covering expenses for the Mayors
appointees. Some folks are working
for nothing, or are daily reporting to
work for nothing, as will some day
be decided when 1t is settled whose
appointees get paid.
The veto message was the CHER
business of the thirty-minute session.
Fern named AHA, Logan and Quinn
to represent the Board at the meet
ing Of the G. A. r., Tuesday evening,
to arrange for the Lincoln Day ceIe--
bratlon.

GREAT
WHITE PLAGUE

Governor Frear, on being asked re-
garding his previously reported in
terest in the matter of tuberculosis
prevention, said the matter had been
on his mind, as was the case with
others, for long time. On the train
coming home he read a great deal on
the subject and he had written for the
statutes of different states on the sub
ject.
He referred to the late tuberculosis
Congress in Washington and said he
visited the exhibition in connection
Herewith which had been removed to
New York. The disease was of such \
character that it could be easily hand
led. Education of the people was an
important factor. Infected persons
might be healed at home, but there
should be a system of notification OF
cases. 1t might be necessary to have
some hospital accommodation, both for
the comfort of patients and the avoid
ance of infection.
Probably it would be well to have
some legislation as well as appropria-
lions for combating the disease in Ha-
wall.
