We're among those OF the legal lights

the last meeting OF the board was
the first business taken up.
II. W. Breckons addressed the
board on behalf of X. Ono. stating
d that he had known the applicant
ever since he had been In Honolulu
and were he a member OF the board
he would grant the applicant II
cense sooner than any Japanese.
II possible, in case the license
was granted, he would like to move
TO the Harvey premises. should that
license be refused or should It run
out at the settlement of the estate.

been repealed for several years.
Testimony from residents near the
saloon and from the plantation near
which II is located was presented, al.
CT which was favorable to Nekamoto
and the way he had conducted his
business.

Waialua by osaki, and he now wish

he had made arrangements to sell
out TO Ichihara, as he himself could
not have a license owing to the fact
he had license in Honolulu.
No complaint has ever been made
by Fennel except once. and that was
soon after Its establishment, and that
was only In regard TO the counter
over which the liquor was served.
AT this point Chairman Cooke
stated that there was petition from
the voters OF the district. To this
