SCHOOLS AND
THE BUDGET
Supervisor Kane Wants Appro-
priations Discussed in
Private Meeting.

At the meeting Of the supervisors
last night, letter was received from
Superintendent Of Public instruction
Pope, asking for more schools When
the clerk started to read the letter,
Supervisor Logan suggested that it be
referred to the ways and means com
mittee. ''We have no money to grant
this petition, he said, "and move
reference to committee merely to
save time. I"
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:
/ ''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 will not
be able to furnish teachers.
Watertown.-A two-room school
building is needed at WATERFOWL, Oahu,
where there is rapidly growing popu.
lation. For some time the department
has had school in session in the
church. From present indications there
should be building large enough to
accommodate eighty or one hundred
children. The department has arranged
for a school lot at Watertown. -
Manoa.-The present Manoa school
building should be replaced by new
oneroom 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. A 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.
"The department of public instruc
ton recommends that the large two
story building known as the Hopper
building he sold at auction and that
the proceeds be used to erect on the
new site new temporary four-room
building.
"Wahiawa.-The crowded condition
at the Wahiawa school during the yeal
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, Moiliili and Kalihi camp. Al
Logan IS suggestion, the communication
was referred to the ways and means
committee, by which it will probably
be killed by report that the county
has no money to aid the schools a
} Pope asks.
J H. Myhre, milk inspector for man.
! years, was quietly decapitated by TIL
: board as far as his official existence il
J concerned. A letter was received from
} Doctor Mackall, recommending the ap
/ pointment of Joe Richards, now a clerl
in the public works department, a
milk inspector.
Supervisor AHA wanted to know VIII,
Myhre was being deposed. Docto
: Mackall said he thought that Richard
would make much better milk in
spector He had no personal objection
to Myhre, but didn't think he was
. satisfactory man for the work. Myhr
caused a great deal of friction among
9 ghe dairymen, said the doctor, seeming
: unable to exercise necessary diplomac,
! in his work. The board by unanimou
5 vote appointed Richards as milk in
a spector, his duties to begin July l. Al
application for the job from ]. A. SLY
$ was filed.
Supervisor Quinn had something t
say regarding the tearing up of streets
He proposed an ordinance to provid
a that all such work shall be done unde
g the supervision of the county, sayin
d that the road department was the onl
i one among many concerns tearing u
g the streets, which properly repaire
n them. Supervisor Logan explained hi
e smiling at this point in Quinn IS rC
n marks by saying that he had just GO
e a complaint from the water works tina
g the road departr ent was smashing il
n pipes.
Logan was prepared to go into tn
s discussion of tentative budget, BIZ
L as estimates of sums to be receive
