but forced them to go to court for
final settlement.
How long this question will hang
no one knows.
What would become of the bust
ness and traffic of this community
and the municipality at large If these
men were to quit the work of the city
and municipality of Honolulu and
seek for another field of getting live
lihood? What prevents them from
doing SO? Nothing in the world.
Regarding the right of the Treas
urer to hold back payment of any
warrant duly examined and passed by
the Board of Supervisors, that ques-
tion is pretty well settled by pre-
vious decision of the Supreme Court,
and therefore needs no comment.
Now we come to the power of the
Mayor. Admitting that he has the
right to appoint officers whose cleo
tion and appointment are not other

the provision of Sec. 81 of said char

him under the provision of Sec. as
OF said act, the question involved
would be: Who is he going to APP
point? And who Is and who are the
officer and officers not otherwise pro-
v!ded for in the charter or bylaws?
None whatever, except, perhaps,
poundmaster. county jailor, superin-
tendent of county water works, etc,
IL any such Offices are in existence.
Bear in mind, the Board of Super
officers by virtue Of Section "a of said
Act and to them is given the full
power to regulate and control, for
any and every purpose, the use of
the streets. highways, public thor
oughfares, public places, alleys and

or under the Municipal Act wherein
the Mayor comes in with his almigh-

another officer duly authorized by
law. Furthermore, Sec. . of said
Act gives those officers, the Board
OF Supervisors, the right to appoint
assistants when authorized to do so
by ordinance, as they may deem nee
essary. The Board of Supervisors has

and see II you would not feel its un.
pleasantness., Such wrangling over
law technicalities and such acts OF
inhumanity prompted by selfish po'
litical motives should not be toler'
ated in this country of a free-born
people.
The people have only one course
left to them TO pursue, If this wrans'

1T is to call upon their respective
