Clellan explained that the board now
has on hand approximately $34, 900 to
meet all municipal demands for the
next three months, OF to the end of the
year. Of this about $4,000 probably
will be spent on a municipal dance
hall at Aala park, leaving about $50,
600 for roadwork on all parts of the
island and other unknown items which
are certain to develop in the coming
quarter. ~

kaua avenu, or 1880 square yards,
with Warrenite, which Mcclellan said
would cost about $1.S5 per square
yard, would require about $40, 200. This
would leave the board with only $10,-
600 for all other expenses from now
until January 1. Ten thousand dol.
lars would not be sufficient to run the
city and county government that
length of time, Mcclellan argued, and
therefore the board could not afford
to spend $4,000 on Kalakaua paving.
Then Petrie insisted that the perma-
nent pavement be placed anyhow, con-
structing as much roadway as possible
with. the $1,000 which the board feels
it can afford and leaving the balance
to be completed by the next board. He
did not think the new board next year
could regard this as an imposition.
Following the passage of Pacheco's
motion the board authorized the roads
committee to order the makai side of
Kalakaua avenue closed to traffic un,
til large chuck hole near Ena road
has been repaired. u
1t seems faily certain now that de.
spite it's cramped financial condition
the board is going to spend $4,000 on
new public dance nall at Aala park.
Some discussion was INDUCED in last
evening as to whether the supervisors
should hang up prize for architects

mittee. McCarthy's report shows that
this shift eliminates one employe and,
while the salary of two others are
raised, the county is saved sos per

A request from Superintendent Fl.
". Kinney of the school department
for a number of desks in the various
new schools on Oahu was referred to

Clellan explained that the school fund
does not possess the wherewithal, or
about $500, at present, and that this
amount should be transferred temper
arily from the general fund to meet
the emergency.
