county gets the liquor license fees as

mented Lyman, who, as a member of
the finance committee was assisting
Kauhane, another member, to sort the
bills to be passed from those to be de-
ferred or not allowed at all.
Strike One.
The above remarks refer in the main
to bunch of bills for automobiles for
officials Of the Kona circuit court, as
well ms bills for services rendered.
There have from time to time been
small floclSs of such bills, most of them
/ of modest amounts, which the super
visors have snorted at, but have fin

the proverbial camel s back appeared

1t was the bill for conveying, OF
+" hauling" as the claimant puts it,
Claudius up and down the hill daily,
which made the finance committee sit
up and kick. The text of the demand
in its naive simplicity is as follows:

now bears further endorsement
