tin yesterday. There will be some OPP
position to it and he is prepared to

favor of the project ."........

road committee and the city attor-
ney, to whom was referred the ques-
ton of whether or not the salary Of
L. M. Whitehouse for April should be
paid, will recommend that no warrant
be issued. Whitehouse has drawn $3.50
from the city treasury since the first
of the year without appearing at his
office more than two or three times.
Late in March he was notified that his
services would be no longer required,
yet he did not appear at the city hall
until after his connection with the
payroll had been severed and neither
did he notify the city engineer that
he was i'll until it came to the time
when his warrant for April was due.
Reports of tho governor and the
Board of Health on the sanitary con-
dition Of the city's Nuuanu water sup
ply will be read at the meeting. The
reports were made to the Oahu Loan
Fund Commission. and forwarded to
the board, as the commission de-
clared that the supervisors are more
over the condition of the
city's water supply than 1t Is
