GLOOMS UPON
THE CITY HALL
Supervisors Meet; Have Small
Comfort for Each Other
One Bright Ray.
(FrOm Sunday Advertiserl

1t was quiet and subdued looking
lot of supervisors who met at noon yes
terday to transact what little business
there was on hand, for nearly all the
money in the treasury has been appro-
prlated and the supervisors have now
| TO wrestle with correspondence which
largely relates to requests for more
roads, more street lights and dance hall
privileges.
One ray of light penetrated the gloom
and that was the announcement that
the new musical instruments for the
Hawaiian Band would probably arrive
here from Elkhart, Indiana, on the
steamship Lurline, and that Captain
Berger, the bandmaster, would return
from Germany in about month.
'Thank the Lord, - said Supervisor
Low, 1--WE will have music with the new
instruments before we go out of office;
and we III have Captain Berger back
too. -
Kaimud Fire Hall.
But the supervisors stiffened bit
when they found that the Kaimukiites
had not yet come through the lot for
the proposed fire station. Murray an
nounced that the two new auto fire
wagons would arrive the middle of the
month, and there would be no house at
Kaimuki for one which is to be Install
ed there.
One of the supervisors said that the
kaimuki people were bowling because
they had no fire protection and now
when the wagons We're almost here the
residents had not come through with
the site.
''The money is lying idle here" said
Low. Daniel Logan of Kaimuki, who
was present, said he would have the
matter investigated at once. Mr.. Logan
also announced that the plan had been
lost.
Then came the announcement that an
other important document relating to
county improvements had been lost.
This was "A chart of Waikane bay.
where the Territory is to build a new
wharf and to which the county is to
build an approach and road. Supervisor
Low said it had been lost during Mar
ston Campbell S regime in the depart
ment of public works.. and he had TO
send on to Washington for another Sup.
erintendent Bishop asked the board
when it proposed to build the approach.
stating that the building of the wharf
and the construction of the road should
go on together He wanted to know
when the county would be ready so
that the tenders could be asked for the |
of the wharf. The inquiry was /.
referred to the road committee.
Dance Hall Permits.
A mania for opening dance halls ap.
pears to have struck the Filipino colony |

pose was received by the board yester-
day. Constantine Apron and Juan Al.
