,agB Favor Decided Change.
''we are Of opinion that decided
change ought to be made in the system
of ordering goods or materials for the
county. At prescnt'f II seems TO be the
practise thHt any supervisor, or in fact
any official, can order fog county ae-
CONT unlimitcd quantities OF goods,
no records being kept and no author
izatior being given. We recommend
that all orders Be signed by the county
clerk and aonrtcrsigned by the chair,
man of the Gard, and a complete rec
ord of all orders kept on file.
In the course of our investigations
we are very much surprised and disap-
pointed at tho apparent extravaRance
in the operating Of the various depart
mehts Of the county.
For comparative purposes we have
secured the expenses of the different
dcpaTtmcHts, ~ the eogptyi of Kagai,

aware that the county Of Kauai Is
smaller than that Of Maui; in fact, on
basis Of either taxation, population
or area; The relative size Is approx
matolg .fiyty-five per cent, or two.thirds
the size Of Maui.
IT'S there any reason why Maui
should pay such exorbitant charges for
the running of the county departments
We can find none. Why should the
county clerk g office here require -four
men, when the Kauai county clerk can
run his alone with an occasional assist

for the services Of three lawyers and
one stenographer, while on Kauai the
county attorney does all the necessary

board Of supervisors and the elected
county officials that they Immediately
put their respective departments on al
