KALAWAO HAS
sOAE PROBLEMS

President Mott.Smith of the Board
of Health has number Jf perplexing
problems that have developed through
some of the laws that were enacted at
the last session of the Legislature.
In considering the measures that
came before IL the Legislature appar.
entity overlooked the fact that Kala-
wac. Molokai, while an independent
county. was subject to distinctive con.
ditions and would have to be conslJ.
cred separately.
In arranging for the INCREASE In the
county revenues the Legislature pro-
vided that all fines and costs should
revert to the County Treasurer. This
IL all right as far as the other coun.
ties are concerned but in the case OF
Kalawao the only official is Sheriff
and he cannot accept the fines and
costs. As q consequence the realiza.
lions have been handed over to the
president of the Board of Health, who
has called upon Attorney General Hem.
enway for advice.
A second problem has arisen In a
requisition that has been made upon
the Board of Health for n supply OF
buckets and brooms for the Kalawao
school. President Mott-Smith does not
find any provision of the Revised Laws
which will cover the question Of buck
cts and brooms for the Kalawao
school. So this question has also been
referred to the Attorney General for
his consideration and advice.
