ZION passed TO prevent family iaunting
and JOY riding in autos maintained by
the county. The same member at.
tackled the Rapid Transit Co for not
doing its part in paving. proposal
Was adopted to make the Hawaiian
band purely county institution, which
will take it out of the militia service
altogether. When this is done the
Hawaiian National Guard will have to
pay for marching music. The side
walk ordinance passed first reading,
but not to print as Amana refused to
commit himself to it until furnished
with a copy. Mayor Fern also COM
planned that ordinances were rushed
through without the courtesy of giving
him a look at them until his signature
was requested. And then people won

Z throwing of rubbish on streets or side
walks passed second reading after be-

omit cigar and cigarette stubs from
the category of prescribed deposits
The Auto Resolution.
Lows resolution read as follows:
Section l. That no automobiles or
other vehicles belonging to or control
ed by the city and county of Honolulu
for use of its officials shall be used by
such official or any other person for
any private purpose,
Section 2. That every such auto,
mobile, other than those in use by the
fire department and the police depart
ment, shall be returned to the county
garage at the close of each days work
and shall not be taken out of such
garage until the beginning of the fol
lowing days work. No such automo-
bile shall be taken to or allowed to re-
main on private premises after work
ing hours. All other vehicles referred
TO in section one hereof shall be taken
/, to the places provided for their keep
ing by the city and county of Honolulu
and kept in like manner herein pro-
vided for automobiles"
Low spoke about county autos being
used for family and joy riding, going
to political meetings, etc, and said
they were kept over night at the
homes of officials instead of being
placed in the county garage built on
the Jail premises.
Amana seconded the resolution.
Mcclellan was sorry to see Low
playing a little game of 'Pinafore"-a
political game pure and simple. There
would be more sense in proposing to
cut out county automobiles altogether.
He described the Inconvenience it
would cause, say, the building and
plumbing inspectors, to compel him to
walk over to Iwilei every morning for
his auto.
Low retorted by calling Mcclellan
"the shrewdest little politician there
is on this board" Later he referred
to him as small explaining that he
was not speaking of character but
physical size.
Murray thought the resolution too
! sweeping. One machine was kept by
the chief of detectives at Sheriff Jar.
rett's as more convenient than the
county garage. Afterward he moved
to strike out the second section but
the amendment was not seconded.
Amana asked if the insurance would
not be liable to be void if county
machine was kept elsewhere than in
the country garage.
Mayor Fern said the insurance did
not bind them to any place. He add
ed that the county garage was nui
sance.
Much more was said, but when put
there were only two votes against
the resolution, those of Mcclellan and
Murray.
Rapid Transit Paving.
Murray, after routine business, ask
ed for information about what steps
If any had been taken to compel the
Rapid Transit Co. to pave its right
Of way where the county had paved
it's part of streets.
Low told of his attempts to fine
out the intentions of the company
with regard to having a test made
in the courts, and Murray moved t.
refer the matter to the road commit
tee and the county attorney.
Deputy Attorney Milyerton stated
that jurisdiction over the matter rest
ed entirely with the territorial author
Y tiles under the company's franchise
Dwight said it was no use leaving
anything to the road committee, tn,
way it's recommendations have beef
Ignored in the past.
Low wondered why the newspaper
did not get after the Rapid Transi
Co. in great big black headlines for it
obstruction. If the case was the othe
way-the company having put dow
pavement and the city holding bacl
