Supervisor Kane Wants Appro-
pTiatIons Discussed in
Private Meeting.

At the meeting Of the supervisors
( last night. a letter was received from
superintendent of Public Instruction
/ Pope. asking for more schools. When
/ the clerk started 10 read the letter,
! Supervisor Logan suggested that It be
referred to the ways and means com
mittee. 1--WE have no money to grant
this petition,'f he said. land I move
reference to committee merely to
save time. -
Other members wanted to hear the
petition read, and the clerk was there
fore instructed to read it. 1t urged
the board to provide funds as follows:
1.-The following items are listed in
order with what the department of
public intruction considers the most
urgent first. No additional school
rooms are listed for which we VIII not
be able to furnish teachers.
Watertown.-A two-room school
building is needed at Watertown, Oahu,
where there IS a rapidly growing popu-
latlon. For some time the department
has had q school in session N the
church. From present indications there
should be a building large enough to
accommodate eighty or one hundred
children. The department has arranged
for school lot at Watertown.
Manoa.-The present Manoa school
building should be replaced by new
one-room building and waterpipe con
nections should be made with the
grounds
'Pohukaina. - Pohukaina school
building should be removed from the
present lot on King street to give place
for the new public library that IS TO
be erected there. \ suitable site of
almost three acres has been secured
for the Pohukaina school just mauka
of Atkinson park in kakaako, between
Coral and Keawe streets.
1.-The department Of public instruc
tion recommends that the large two
story building known as the Hopper
building be sold at auction and that
the proceeds be used to erect on the
new site d new temporary four-ro0m
building.
Wahiawa-The crowded condition
at the Wahiawa school during the year
convince US that there is great need
of an additional room along with other
Improvements there.
More school accommodations were
also declared to be necessary at Mauna-
wal. MoiIiiH and kalihi camp. At
Logan s suggestion. the communication
was referred to the ways and means
committee, by which it viii probably
be killed by a report that the county
has no money to aid the schools as
Pope asks.
H. Myhre, milk inspector for many
years. was quietly decapitated by the
board, as far as his official existence is
concerned. \ letter was received from
Doctor Mackall, recommending the ap-
pointment of Joe Richards. now a clerk
in the public works department, as
milk inspector.
Supervisor AHA wanted to know why
Myhre was being deposed. Doctor
MackaIl said he thought that Richards
would make a much better milk in
spector. He had no personal objection
to Myhre, but didn't think he was a
satisfactory man for the work. Myhre
caused a great deal of friction among
the dairymen. said the doctor, seeming
unable to exercise necessary diplomacy
in his work The board by unanimous
vote appointed Richards as milk in
spector, his duties to begin July l. An
application for the lob from J. \. Silva
was filed.
Supervisor Quinn had something TO
say regarding the tearing up Of streets.
He proposed an ordinance to provide
that all such work shall be done under
the supervision Of the county. saying
that the road department was the only
one among many concerns tearing mp
the streets, which properly repaired
them. Supervisor Logan explained his
smiling at this point in Quinn S re
marks by saying that he had Just got
a complaint from the water works that
the road department was smashing its
pipes.
Logan was prepared to 90 into the
discussion of tentative budget. but
as estimates Of sums to be received
from the Territory were not complete,
Quinn moved to adjourn. Kane thought
that the budget matter should be dis
cussed in private. He didu t think the
public ought to know how the plans
for spending money were talked over.
He offered a motion which appeared to
mean that the meeting ought to ad-
louTn to a private caucus. Quinn $
motion. to adjonrn to three clock on
the afternoon Of June 3. carried.
