SUPERVISORS GIVE
PEARL CITY SCHOOL

After much argument and over the
protest of Acting City Attorney Cristy,
the supervisors passed on third and
final reading resolution appropriating
$3.50 for construction Of seh1olh9use
at Pearl City.
Crlsty objected because the money is
to come from the balance of the $50 900
appropriation set aside by the legisla-
ture for the new building at Central
Grammar School. That edifice cost on
~ $26 5000, but the attorney contends
the city is prohibited by law from TAX
ing money from Legislative apprOpria-
ton for specific project, and trans.
terrlng it to project somewhere else.
Cnstv gave warning that he would
notify the city auditor and treasurer
not to issue warrants or money from
the balance. The building project will
be blocked but Arnold suggested that
superintendent Kinney, who wants the
building at Pearl City, may take up
the subject with the attorney gene raj
and get an opinion from him which
would place different construction on
the territorial statutes This, Arnold
said, would enable the board TO spend
III" money as it and the board of
education desires

recommend that the legislature ap.

stray items Of Hawaiian interest stand
out in the later summer activity here.
One is the fixture in the army appr6.
priation bill of the 10000 item for an
Investigation and survey of a military
road in the Island Of Oahu.
George Mex. Mcclellan, who had a
promise from Chairman Hay Of the
house military affairs committee, wit
messed by General Macomb of the war
college, that IL the provision, was put
in by the senate it would be retained
in conference, is greatly surprised and
says IL is the most disappointing turn
down have ever received during my
career in Washington. " r.
Apparently Mr.. Hay encountered OBJ
jections somewhere he could not over
come or experienced a change of heart.
However, the fight will be resumed at
ne next session of congress. = w..
Judges Pensions Held Up
The bill for retirement pay TO certain
federal Judges, which would make form
err Judge Dole a beneficiary, hangs in
the house and, perhaps, will not get
much farther at this session. II. came
up recently for unanimous consent con
sideration. Representative Fitzgerald
of New York, who is opposed to il, alb
stained from -objecting but Minority
Leader Mann climbed the watchtower.
He was willing the bill should be pass
ed over without prejudice but that was
the utmost he would cOncede. COnse.
quently the bill remains OD>the calendar
awaiting the call Of committees.
Mr.. Mcclellan and Mr.. Baumgartner
of San Francisco, who is connected with
the Hawaiian Pineapple Company, have
had an extended hearing before the sus-
pension board of the Interstate Com
merce Commission regarding the pro.
posed increase of thirty-eight per cent
on the rates for pineapples 10 the East.
Mr.. Mcclellan said today he was quite
confident the proposed increases Of from
sixty-two cents n hundred TO eighty five
cents would be suspended by the COM
mission till January next. There was
quite a sharp sPt-to between the oppos-
ing sides at the hearing.
Desha Goes To Boston
John r. Desha has gone 70 Boston to
join his family and have a vacation.
r Mr.. Mcclellan is planning to leave
shortly for his home in Seattle. The
treasury department has asked him to
aid in getting an appropriation of $l0.-
900 from Congress for removing the old
quarantine wharf at Honolulu. Thus far
CONGRESS- has been deaf to official ap-
peals from the treasury department for
this appropriation. The provision would
belong properly now on the general de-
fciency bin and Mr.. Mcclellan is wait
ing only for the house appropriations
committee to take up the framing of
that bill.
