buying two Seagrave fire trucks fot
Sl0,5OO from the Schuman Carriage
Company The fire committee re-
ported in favor Of one Knox car and
one Seagrave car. but was Overruled.
The situation was somewhat compli-
Gated by the fact that two of the SUI
pervisors are connected with firms
which were bidders. Mcclellan being
with the Honolulu Iron Works and
Murray with the Schuman company.
Mcclellan, however, made the motion
to buy the two Seagrave cars, on a
showing that the fire chief wanted
them and that the bids on them were
lowest. The report of the fire COM
mittee was turned down by the votes
Of Amana, Dwight, Kruger and Nc
Clellan and two Seagraves were or
dered, Arnold and Low opposing and
Murray declining to vote.
An increase in the salary of former
Road Overseer Wilder to 5000 monthly
was voted on recommendation of City
Engineer Gere, Low being the only
member of the board voting no.
It was voted to pay the claim of
Robert McEldowney for forty dollars
for injuries received in falling into a
storm drain recently, at which time
he hurt his shin in two places,
wrenched his thigh and broke his
glasses.
