Ntrom Wednesdays Advertiser)
The ordinance creating bureau of
supplies for the city and county gov.
eminent passed its final reading at last
nights meeting of the Board of Super.
visors, three dissenting votes being cast,
those of Mcclellan, Cox and Kane. Su.
pervisor Logan, the father of the ordi
nance, said that he was sure il would
contribute to the establishment of sys-
4 tematic methods on the part of city
and county officials, and that it would
result in material saving.
The Jail problem was dealt with IN
two resolutions, both of which were
| recommended to the favorable consid.
Grafton of the board by the committee
of the whole. The first authorized the
police committee to make permanent
improvements to the Honolulu iail to

$4,000 is to be inserted in the appro-
priation bill for the ensuing half yearly
period

$40; Waianae, $40; Waialua, $40; Koo-

Praise for Rhodes.
With a unanimous vote the board
passed a resolution introduced by Su-
pervisor Logan, expressing kindly SEN
timents toward the Mayors retiring
secretary, Charles l.. Rhodes. The reso-
luton was as follows:
Resolved, That the Board of Super
visors of the City and County of Ho-
nolulu, Territory of Hawaii, tenders to
Mr.. Charles l.. Rhodes, on his retire
ment from the office of Secretary to
the Mayor, its appreciation of the abil-
ity he has displayed in the onerous posi-
ton and its best wishes for his health
and prosperity wherever his future lot
may be cast.'
Mr.. Rhodes expressed his thanks for
the expression of good feeling, stating
that he was leaving the Territory with
the pleasantest recollections of his as
ISOLATION with the first Board of Super
visors of the city and county.
Action Is Deferred.
The board deferred action on the
nominations submitted by Mayor Fern
county physician and M. II. Sanders as
milk and dairy inspector. 1t is under
stood that well grounded opposition has
developed against the appointment of
Sanders and there does not seem to be
much likelihood of the board regarding
his nomination in a favorable light.
After the routine work of approving
material and salary demands, petition
. 4 IL 81 L..
provement Club, asking for additional
lights in the district and declaring that
it was essential that some adequate pro-
vision be made for the proper illumina-
tion of the streets. The reading of the
petition precipitated an observation
from the Mayor that similar petitions
had been referred to the lighting com
mittee without result which brought an
immediate denial from Chairman Kane.
Supervisor Quinn observed that when
citizens went to the trouble of prepar-
ing n petition they were certainly en-
titled to a reply, so as not to give them
the idea that the board had not con-
sidered their wishes.
Supervisor Logan finally suggested
that the lighting committee be in
structed to draw up a statement of
the lights asked for by all petitioners,
and consult with superintendent
Fsazee of the Department as to the
estimated cost and turn the data over
to the Committees on Public EXpendi-
lures for its guidance
Quinn Objects.
An interesting depression occurred
from the affairs of state when Mr..
Frazee wished to express some opin-
ions in connection with the lighting
question, and was asked to desist by
Supervisor Quinn, who said Frazeo
was quitting in" The latter denied
the charge and said that it was for
the purpose of informing the Board
that department heads were supposed
to be present at the meetings.
Supervisor Quinn, referring to his
late mishap on the waterfront, also
asked Superintendent Frazee, why the
wharves were so dark and the latter
replied that il was due to the Pilots
Association, which objected to the IL
Elimination OF the waterfront since
the accident to the Logan, which
was blamed upon waterfront lights
A communication was read from
Road Supervisor Wilson asking the
Board to approve his recommendation
for an increase in the salary of the
departments bookkeeper to $50 per
month, stating that the incumbent was
a valuable man and entitled to an
increase in his monthly stipend.
Where is my automobile" is about
what the Mayor said shortly before
the Board adjourned He observed
that he had not heard anything of the
auto since the proposal was first
preached.
Supervisor Logan expressed surprise
that tho Mayor should be so anxious
about the auto in view of the acct
dents of the last week, but promised
that the question would be taken UP
without delay.
