Hiram Kaaha. Mr.. Smith, chairman
of the trustees, suggested last night
that the board should consist of eight
members instead of. seven. ms was
originally intended. His suggestion
was seconded and carried Here Ka-
leo moved that tho hoard of trust,es
should consist of eight members nj,
of whom shuuld he elected Inv ba,,ot
His motion was seconded Mr.. Smith
then contended that as seven of the
members of the hoard had ALREADY
been elected nj Tho Last meet;pr n,
was only a matter of eiecting the
eighth member to complete the
board Kaleo contended that his mo-
ton was TO elect an entirely new
board of trustees of eight members
by ballot, and emphasized the fact
that the seven members who were
previously elected without ballot
were not eligible. There was gem
sraI dispute about the grammatical
technicaiities as TO the wording OF
'he mo''oh' ... ..s
Rev S. X. Kaulili, pastor of Koloa
native church, argued that the only
thing before the meeting was to elect
the eighth member of the board. and
leave those seven whvywere previous
ly elected alone. Most of the men,
bers present were Indifferent and the
consequence was that 1t was decided
to postpone the meeting until next
Friday night. During the discussion
a number OF the female members Of
the church took part in the delibera-
ton.
During the early part of the meet
ing, Kaleo, moved that Mr.. w. o.
Smith and Mr.. W. T. Rawlins, who
were present. be permitted to take
part in the discussion of matters
which were before the meeting. His
motion carried.
While tho members were sneakipg
freely on matters in dispute, Mr. Smith
arose to pour oil over the troubled
waters. He stated that It was not
proper for the members present, who
consider themselves Christians, to ar
que heatcdly ON matters which could
be settled amicably. lie said that.
seven of the members of the board
had already been elected at a previ-
Gus meeting. the only thing they could
do then was to elect the eighth man.
He cited as an instance that some of
the members of the board of trustees
Of the Central Union church were
not members of the church. but they
served on the board, however, with a
determination to do good work for.
and in the church. Personally, he
said, he did not want to serve ON
the board of trustees OF Kawaiahan
church. but he decided II was best
for him to Offer his service for the
up-keep, Improvement and prosperity
of Kawaiahao church. His talk was
right to the point.
Rawlins. who had been watching
the procedure. arose To saw that he
believed that Kaleo's motion asking
for the election of eight members nv
ballot was wei, taken Ue held that
the electiop of tbe seven membera
