SUPERVISORS WIGGLE
OUT OF NASTY HOLE
Do Some High, Not to Say Fren-
zied, FinanCiering and
All Goes Well.
(From Wednesdays Advertiser ,

1t was with sudden Jolt the sup.
ervisors realized last night that in their
scheme of city government they were
just exactly six months behind the
times, and took hurriedly prepared
special resolution to bring them up to
date.
1t was with many fireworks that sew
eral months ago they passed the rear.
rangement budget for the current period
provided against the new tax law
which they though went into effect on
January l, and which demands a GER
tain sum spent annually on permanent
Improvement. The memory of all those
brilliant displays is now overcast by
the fact that the law went into effect
the first of July, six-no, seven
months ago.
This little hitch failed to worry the
supervisors long, however. They pass
ed resolution and all was serene. AS
the law provided that $4,000 or SO
should have been spent during the per-
lod when the law was in effect, the
board picked $5S,72342 worth of Ger.
tain work which already has been per.
formed, just to get rid of the money,
and ordered the accounts transferred
from permanent Improvement fund
(where it never was) to the general
fund This fully reimbursed the gen
eral fund from its own money for the
cash for which it was reimbursed and
all was well. The mandate of the law
had been obeyed.

gally tarred and feathered to save the
supervisors are the Alewa heights

so in the country and such like.
King Street Gets It.
After this momentous action, Super
visor Murray introduced a resolution to
spend $4955.S5 on King street, along
plans drawn up by City Engineer Gere.
This amount, according to the plans,
will pave the thoroughfare from Punch.
bowl to Alapai streets and from Keeau.
moku to Kalakaua avenue, little less
than two-thirds of a mile. The plans,
incidentally, call for oil and macadam.
The expense will be checked off to the
permanent improvement fund after it
has been spent.
There was a good deal of discussion
over the resolution, but it passed unan.
imously. Supervisor Mcclellan in
sisted that there was not enough money
on hand to do this, but Supervisor Low
quieted him with the broadside that
the law demanded that they spend at
least 100000 during the year on per.
manent Improvements and with this aw-
full obligation upon them, they would
have to do it anyway"
