Hon. M. p. Waiwaiole sent in an
application for the position of SAM
tary Inspector for Wailuku, and the
Board, acting favorably, duly made
the appointment, it being the
opinion of both the Territorial At
torney General and the County
Attorney that an appointment to a
subordinate position was not con-
trary to the restriction imposed by
our organic law against legislators
holding an Office.

County Engineer Howell was author
lied to appoint another assistant.
