have the work carried out with eff
cheney and if any notice is to be taken
of Wilson then the board might just as

the mayor and confirmed by the late
board of supervisors of the city and
county of Honolulu as road supervisor
and superintendent of garbage at a
salary of $3.50 per month upon the ex-
press condition that was to make the
garbage department self-supporting and
was to be continued at that figure so
long as the said garbage department
yielded surplus above expenses.

the entire term it has been under my
control, yielded a surplus as will fully
appear by my report now on file with

sum of $3.50 per month during my term
of office. The bond furnished by me
and my acceptance of said Office was
predicated upon the supposition that 1
was to have an adequate and efficient
clerical force to receive and disburse
the large sums of money coming into
my Office and properly keeping the
books and accounts of this department.
My present clerical force is now re
dueed to the minimum and as I feel it
incumbent upon me that the office work
be properly and efficiently performed, 1
must respectively decline to dispense
with the services of either Mr.. Cath
cart or Mr.. Lawelawe.
