SOLID SIX
OVERRIDE
MAYOR FERN

UIHIuU LIN
The steam roller passed over the
mayor last night and when he saw It
coming, he dint even try to put
little rock in the way. His Honor
appears to have been thoroughly tam
ed by the recent roller tactics
of the solid six, and in place
OF the protestations and refusals
to put the motions which charac-
terized former meetings where
he was overriden, there was an ex-
cellent imitation of his campaign
smile.
The mayor gave his view of Dr.
Mackalls request for new assistants
in sanitary work, which the board ap-
proved at a former meeting, in the
following letter:
'In compliance with Section 145 of
the Municipal Act l investigated the
aeed of additional inspectors and
found that those who are on the pay
roll at the present time are not car
rying out the duties as laid down in
the various ordinances and in many
cases are very negligent. In the in
terest of an efficient and economical
government, which l understand you
ere anxious to establish, l would rec
ommend that no new inspectors be
appointed at the present time, but I
would recommend that the present
force be brought up to a standard of
efficiency such as the public might ex-
pect. AS said above, we don't need
more men but more work from those
we have at present"
Supervisor Murray, who handles the
throttle of the steam roller, moved
that the communication be tabled,
which was done. Later came a letter
from DR.. Mackall, stating that he had
the honor to suggest the names of John
d. Holt and Robert Parker, for ap-
pointment as new sanitary inspectors.
The board filed this with its approval,
and by another motion Murray had
800 month appropriated each for
the new employees for the month OF
February. Lone Democrat Mcclellan
voted no.
The county attorney was asked for
an opinion as to VIII Their the board
could legally abolish the Office of road
supervisor by cutting out the salary.
General Business.
The Waialae, Kaimuki and Palolo
Improvement Club called attention to
the fact that thefts of rock in the dis
trict were being made by japanese
and asked that measures should be
taken to have the practice stopped.
The club also asked for a pound in the
district.
The roads committee was also in
structed to look into matter brought
up by the Alewa Improvement Club.
Owing to inadequate culverts great
damage is being done to the roads by
the rains and they desire to have the
matter attended to.
Frank S. Dodge, superintendent of
the Bishop Estate, asked permission to
put down about 1850 feet of curbed
sidewalk in front of the Kamehameha
Schools. Mrs. Frazier, principal of
the Kaiulani School, made a request
that the drive at the school be attend
ed to, as the recent heavy rains have
washed away the ton dressing A ne
titfon was sent in by twenty-five tax
payers of Kaimuki in respect to
Eighth avenue. They point out that
by spending about $3.50 at the present
time great deal will be saved in the
future.
Judge Lymer wrote that the recent
rains had played great havoc with his
office at the police court There was
great danger of the plaster giving
( way and that unless prompt measures
, were taken it would mean that big
sum of money would have to be ex-
pended at later period.
An invitation from Consul Pfoten-
hauer to the mayor and board to at
tend the reception at the German con-
; sulate on Friday was accepted and
( the letter filed.
