CITY AND COUNTY BUDGET
NOT ACCORDING TO LAW
AND MUST Be REDRAFTED

100000 should be kept IN that reserve
fund" l5ty
In extended remarks on his letter,
the financial chairman said the bill
involved $500 a month overhead
charges for $1,000 worth of work on the
roads. Low contended that the per.
manent improvements fund and the
general fund were distinct by lava
contention that was sustained later
by the legal opinion already mon.
! toned. They could not take anything
from the fund for permanent improve
ments and apply it to anything else.
His reference was particularly to the
proposal to appropriate $4,000 for
additions to the fire department
equipment. The general fund would
amount to $640,197 and permanent
improvements fund to $125,737, a
total of $765,994 They proposed in
the bill TO appropriate $496,42 for
general expenses and $153, 100 for per-
manent improvements, a total of
$649,52), which was $4,000 less than
was due them under the general fund.
Murray's contention in opposition
was that the general fund, as provid-
ed for by the Legislature, was not
sufficient to run the county govern
ment. He strongly urged the neces-
sity of strengthening the fire protec-
ton service, saying this and an eff
cient police patrol we're what Homo
lulu citizens chiefly demanded.
Low sacrastically referred to roads
as something the people had no use
for, suggesting that all the quarries
and stables be closed and the road
labor diminished.
Dwight favored taking the law as 1t
was given them and then cutting the
coat according to the cloth. "Cut ont
the Promotion Committee and Kapio-
lani Park. We are giving $3.50 a
month for promotion and $500 for The
park, and the board has nothing to
say about the expenditure. There is
$4,000 year, or $S45O for six months,
which can be saved for roads"
So it went on until Murray quit, re-
Il am dealing in generalities.
have not the patience to go into all
the details of permanent fund, gen
eral fund and road taxes. We can
talk about these things all night, but
II we are going to vote let us vote.

Following many caucuses incubat-
ing the measure, held on week nights
and Sunday, there was a wrangle OF
about an hour about the appropria.
ton bill at the meeting of the board
of supervisors last night. Then, when
the bill was actually produced, there
was still more talk before the mem
/ bers settled down for the call of the
ayes and noes on first reading. But
the roll is still to be called on the
question, for Deputy City and County
Attorney Milverton, just as the vote
was going to be taken, informed the
/ board that the bill was wrongly drawn
to comply with the new law relating
to revenue. Murray and Mcclellan
also Engineer Gere, questioned the
correctness of the attorneys ruling in
some points, but the board finally
submitted to it and referred the bill
to the ways and means committee for
correction, to report at special meet.
ing tonight
For the first and main debate on
the matter, the immediate occasion
was a letter from Chairman Low OF
the ways and means committee.
Low stated in his communication
that he did not approve of the follow
ing items as inserted in the apprOpri-
alton bill;
Permanent improvements, roads,
Honolulu district, not prorated, 5000.
This amount should remain in main
tenance roads, Honolulu district, not
prorated $1,000. The maintenance
account of roads, Honolulu district,
under this apportionment is cut down
to SAL, 400.
Maintenance Koolauloa road dis
trict, $3.50 This appropriation should
remain as heretofore, namely, 1880
per month or $500 for the six months.
The belt road commission has decid-
ed not to give any assistance to this
district from the loan fund, and for
that reason | deem it wise and appro.
pirate that the appropriation of $500
be inserted for the next six months.
Addition to fire equipment, not pr"
rated, $4,000 This amount should
be stricken out of the appropriation
bill entirely. We are not laying any
hing aside for emergencies. but are
-aXing our funds to the very limit. |
We must have at least balance of
100000 available for the year 1912

rise and for that reason the sum of

What this county needs is a good fire
and good fire patrol"
Mcclellan said there was nothing
before the house but the communica-
ton from Low.
Murray moved it be tabled, but
found no seconder.
On motion of Arnold, seconded by
Kruger, the communication was or
dered received and placed on file.
Murray then asked the chairman Of
the ways and means committee to
lay the appropriation bill passed at
the caucus before the board.
81 will place it before the board
without my signature" Low respond
ed as ne produced the document
Murray signed the bill and McClel-
Ian moved it's passage on first read
ing, which was seconded.
Milverton then interviewed, asking
permission to make remarks before
the vote was taken. He said the law
required three separate and distinct
funds, and the auditor would issue
warrants only against the funds spec
flied in appropriations. In addition to
the reservation of money for a sink
ing fund to meet the Territorial
bonds issued on account of the coun-
ty, there must be funds-Q current
expense, or what may be called the
general fund; ca permanent improve
ments fund and 60 fund for school
expenses. The law requires the aud
itor to keep these funds entirely dis
tinct. The only exception is that
money may be taken from the general
fund and put into the permanent i'm
provements fund, provided that it is
to be repaid to the general fund. Pay
of janitors and maintenance of
schools will come out of the school
fund. In passing claims the board
ought to pass them against the te-
spective funds out of which they are
appropriated. You cannot switch
around and vote money from one
fund for any other purpose than the
one for which that fund is created.
Arnold, Murray and Low in turn
put questions to the attorney. En-
gineer Gere also raised a point about
road and bridge work that might he
undertaken by the road department
in ordinary course, but which when
completed would be in the nature of
permanent improvement.
Murray also hammered on this
point, repeating his argument that
the legislature had put the county in
hole. In other words, his plea was
that necessity knows no law.
At length the leader of the poten-
tial four subsidized, consenting to the
recasting of the bill as advised.
Other Business.
Murray asked the health commit
tee if it. had ever received a definite
from c. H. Brown to I'M
dertake the collection and disposal of
under contract.
Kruger replied in the negative.
Mcclellan obtained a similar reply
from the clerk and then stated that
Brown had ca ed at his office and
said he thought it would be a good
scheme-for Brown. And that was
all there was to the proposition.

THE NATURALIST
By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY


Miss Gertrude Ainsley put on her
hat that sunny spring day and walked
down the road and owe the creek and
up into the woods on the hill. There
we're stately elms and beeches and
naples; the spice-bush gave cut its
scent; there were violets under foot
everywhere, and the robins and blue.
birds seemed TO welcome an intruder.
There we're paths running here and
there, and as the girl took one Of them
she heard a queer sound from the
brush on her right. and investigated to
find a rabbit caught by the leg In a
snare.
Poor Bunny was having a hard time
of It, and 1t frightened him the more
as the girl approached. He bounded
this way and that and into the air,
but the snare held and he cried and
whimpered and feared for his life.
When the girl had come closer and
began to call him poor thing and ex.
claim that 1t was a burning shame,
the captive huddled down and stared
at her with his great big eyes. She
was stroking It with her hand when a
boy Of twelve came running to shout:
He's mine! He's mine! | set the
snare for him last night"
Up he came, and was about to lift
the rabbit in his arms when Miss
Gertrude gave him a push and de.
handed:
