Again Logan stepped into the breach
and stated that under the rules he
would for the first time respectfully
demand that the question be put.
''I refuse,v said Fern.
"For the second time | respectfully
demand that you put the question. -
81 refuse, -
"For the third and last time l de.
mand that you put the question"
''I refuse"
Quinn then started to put the ques.
tion, but was pulled down, while Logan
called for the vote. The Mayor was
overruled, but called for bonds.
Aylett moved the following, being
the identical resolution passed by the
old Board of Supervisors prior TO ad-
| iourning:
''Be it Resolved, That every and all
boards, committees, commissions, Of
fees, positions and employments here
tofore created by the Board of SUI
pervisors of the County of Oahu,
whether by motion, vote, order, res.
olution or otherwise, except the same
be created by ordinance, and now ex-
listing, be declared and the same are
hereby abolished; and all motions,
votes, orders, resolutions rules and
regulations creating or tending to cre-
ate such boards, committees, commits
sions, offices, positions and employ
ments be and the same are hereby re-
pealed."
After the ring.around-a.rosy program
had been gone through again the reso-
luton was carried.
Fern again called for the bonds, after
Mcclellan had moved that they be con.
sidered, and no one would second his
motion. Cox then moved that the bonds
be taken up, AHA seconding the mo-
tion.
"No motion is necessary" said the
Mayor. 81 only call for them"
"Your call ism It enough said Cox.
"We're working, under the rules now.'

the motion, which carried. The bonds

troduced and approved. No legal adj
