AND WHAT WILL THE
POOR BAND Do NOW

Colonel Jones, adjutant general of
the National Guard of Hawaii, has
called upon the county band to turn
back the musical instruments it is now
using to the national guard. This was
the statement made by Mayor Fern to
the board of supervisors last night.
The instruments are the property of
the United States, and as the band is
no longer connected with the guard,
the colonel wants the property returned
by the first of November.
Meanwhile, the contract for the new
band instruments, let to the Bergstrom
| Music Company, has not been fulfilled,
and the county wants to know why
there is SO much delay. According to
the mayor, the contractor said it took
some time for certain instruments to
be made. AT any rate, the county
wants the band instruments and wants
them quick.
