made since. First rumOrs of his ap-
proaching retirement were heard three
months ago, but it was thought that
he would remain until the coronation

Kicked and cuffed In turn by yari-
Gus members Of the supervising board
last night patched up and sliced down,
resolution introduced by Benjamin
r. Hollinger. pertaining to the man.
agement and supervision Of certain
parks in the city. finally ended up By
being referred back to its sponsor for
revision.
MI. Hollinger's resolution was As
follows:
whereas. certain public parks and
Fairgrounds were in an unsatisfactory
condition and required proper man
agement and supervision. the mayor.
with the approval Of the supervisors,
should be authorized to appoint suit
able person as superintendent Of parks
and Fairgrounds. who shall superin-
tend and look after the care and up
keep Of all public parks (excepting Ka-
piolani parks and the public baths)
and Fairgrounds including school
grounds, under control Of the city, and
who shall be directly answerable to
the committee on parks. Fairgrounds
and schools,
Hardly had the voice Of the clerk
died down from the reading Of the
resolution, wheel Supervisor Arnold
rose to move that the part which stat
ed that @certain parks and play
grounds were in an unsatisfactory
condition" be stricken from the body
of the measure.
Arnold Thought L Slur. s.
II consider this" said Mr.. Arnold
in reply to smiling query Of Mr.. Hol-
Iinger. Il consider this q direct slur
at the road committee, and move that
1t be taken out." "
Mr. Hollinger rose and stated that
he was perfectly willing that this
much Of the resolution should be elm
mated. Then Mr.. Larsen put in his
little mite.

the situation. aKapiolani park e sep

we'd like to try this plan for q month
or so to see how Il would work. after
which we can put In Kapiolani.
Hollinger,s explanation did not ap-
peal to the rest Of the members Of
the board, however. and the upshot
of the whole matter was the return
Of the bill to HolllEger that It might
be fixed up IN q businesslike way
Hollinger,s haste In the matter came
from the fact, as he stated IN his plea,
that he wished to get the superinten-
dent Of the new job appointed Tenn
porary arrangements have been exist
ing between Holllnger and A. K
vierra for some weeks in the matter,
Vierra having left his Job as road
hatcher for the new position.
Vierra's name was not down on the
blank appointment last night. how.
ever, Mayor Lane having failed TO
show up at the meeting, and, as ex.
planned by Mr.. Arnold. the wish OF
Mr.. HOllinger for speed In the adop

last night when Supervisor Larsen,
rising to move that the enpioye be
dismissed from the service OF the city
never to return, stated that Clark mad
been adetriment to the board, dis.
grace to the Republican party, and g
complete failure as far as his work as
a road overseer has gone.
To prove his point Larsen called the
attention OF the board to two sections
yof road, lasting monuments to MT.
Clark's inefficiency. The two high
ways were Kalakaua arenue and Wal
alae road, both of which Larsen declars
ed to be a disgrace to the city Mr..

by Mr.. Larsen, that Clark be dismiss
ed. -. q 80. -. -:
Supervisor Single then rose, not to
defend Clark, he said, but to propose
that the matter be placed in other
hands than those OF the supervisors.

Mr.. Single, which ] am opposed to.

said Mr.. Single, but doubt much

be referred to City Engineer White
house.

lowing the speech by Single, but ]
insist that the man be removed. 1t is
an injustice to taxpayers to keep such
men as Clark on the city's payroll.
