ORDINANCE.

ing delegations that have been polr /
ing into the city hall or not, the super
visors have suddenly come out at the
last two meetings in the light Of phi
lanfbropists-with the people 5 money
it is true-but that does not matter as
long as they can be induced to spend
some OF It. They tabled an estimate
Of what money they intend spending
on the roads during the next month
and also the money that had been ap-
propriated by the ways and means
committee out of the general fund for
roads and other things. Likewise, they
appropriated s1325 to pay for Mayor
FERNS cigars. Mcclellan explained
how it was that the building ordinance
still remained hidden away. He also
defended the actions of the last board
and denied the fact that the ordinance
had been pigeonholed.
The ways and means committee
presented several reports. The matter
of the work to be done at the Waipahu
school was referred to the engineer s
department. Engineer Gere was also
authorized to employ a draughtsman
I for his Office 1t was pointed ont in
I this connection that it would give him
more time to attend to matters per
sonally.
More Cigars.
1t was among the miscellaneous
items of the mayors account that the
sum of 1925 for cigars slipped
through. This item was afterwards
explained by one of the board. "You
see,'' he murmured to the reporter,
"the sort of cigars that Joe smokes
might not be good enough for a naval
officer or someone like that who might
happen to come along. That is why
he gets a couple of boxes Of good ones,
which are kept in the office" There
will no doubt be stream of naval Off
GERS and "others" visiting the mayor,
now that this fact has become public
property.
