cussion OF methods for the construc-
tion and oiling Of roads.
Supervisors Quinn and Kane scor-
cd the two men for proceeding to
work without first getting the sane
tlon Of the Board. Quinn said that
he had no objection whatever to the
work done on the roads by Wilson.
but he did object to his action in
oiling Alexander street without CON
sulting the Board.
Kane supported Quinn's contention
SO far as the Boards authority over
the Road Supervisor was concerned.

ploye should go to work on anything
without the approval of the Board.
He warned Wilson to respect the
Road Committee and not to start
work without instruction.

der street to protect 1t from the
storms.

the building and matchmaking of
roads.

its attention to Road Overseer Paele.
a blacksmith, a helper, n Waterman
at the quarry, and an extra luna at
the rate of SO day have been en-
ployed by the overseer. Quinn said

sion. The animals will hereafter be
fed on barley and bran, instead of

Loose Warrant
During the discussion OF the indi-
vidual warrant system, Kane jumped
to his feet and put up strenuous
fight for the workmen of his dis
trict. He spoke in Hawaiian, saying
that the individual warrant meant
loose warrant" why, there is no
money in that loose warrant" said
he. The workmen OF the outer dis
tricts Will not be able to cash their
paper at the stores there. 1t Is a
hardship to those people to be com.
PEELED to pay expenses for transpor.
tation to come to town and get their
'losoe warrants cashed."
Cox, speaking from experience
stated that the warrants would bt
honored by the storekeepers, and
money paid on presentation.
Numerous reports from the Roat

on file.
