a speech in which he stated that he
was strongly opposed to the proposed
ordinance giving the board of super
visors the power to appoint the city and
county engineer and the road overseers,
the ordinance passed third reading at
the meeting of the board last evening.
Mcclellan gave as his reason for his
stand that the road overseers would not
work in harmony with the city engineer
if they were appointed by the board
! Also that it was the intent of the
legislature to centralize the appointive
power, and this was not done by the
pi opposed ordinance,
About the Schools.
City Engineer Gere presented a re-
port on the condition of the school build
ings in the county, showing the number
that needed immediate attention, and
those which could go over for period.
With his figures, however, there was
$9195 worth of work which can not be
put off without causing a greater out
|, lay in the future, and as the board has
but $3.50 to spend during the coming
six months it is really going to be hard
work to accomplish everything.
Maintenance and repair work which
are needed amount to 14,400, but of
this amount $5205 may be put off for
/ time.
Acting Superintendent Gibson of the
, board of education was present at the
: meeting and was called upon to tell
what work he considered most impera.
/ tive.
He said that new quarters must be
3 provided for the children at Pohukaina
School, where the new library is to be
built in the near future; Watertowr
needed school for the ninety children
I there; Aiea will have fifty more pupils
? at the beginning of the year and needs
additional room; Waipahu will have
100 more, and Eva and Waialua eacl
needs one additional room for the in
crease in attendance at the beginning
of the year.

tion to the urgent need of more sprink
ling carts for the city. He gave tn,
