Uncle Sam Must Pay
Three Hundred #
Dollars For Red Tape

Because of certain red tape that
seems to be necessary to the conduct of
government business, the government
will be obliged to pay $500 for land on
which to erect lighthouse which it
might have secured for one dollar.
The land is located on Maui, and is
owned by j.. H. Raymond, who offered
che land to the government for nothing.
But because il was necessary to have
the title distracted it was decided to
have the land condemned, which will
cost the government approximately
$500.
Condemnation of the two acres is
sought in petition filed in the federal
2Ourt yesterday by the United States
attorneys Office, and service will be
made this week, according to Marshall
sSmiIdy.

It's all right and perfectly proper
and legal for territorial senator to
enter into contract with the Territory

BY Attorney General Stainback. AZ
This opinion, was rendered in con.
neetion with the question as to whether
or not the contract awarded by Super.
intendent Of Public Works Forbes TO
Senator. +. w. Quinn to- do the plumb.
ing work at Oahu prison, amounting to
more than $4,000. ~ ~.
The opinion was rendered in com
pliance with request ByAAuditor
Fisher, who entertained doubtk as TO
the legality Of the contract, and re-
fused to authorize the payment of any
further sums on II until the attorney
generals department had guaranteed
its validity.
Section 6s of the Revised Laws
makes II penal offense for any officer
or employee of the Territory or any
municipal or political subdivision there
Of TO make any contract OF, agreement
for the purchase or sale of any pro
nerty or the performance Of any work
by, TO or for the Territory. II is evident
from the opinion of the attorney gen:
Nral that the law doesn I mean what It
says. The path through the law which
the attorney general finds, is that Sen.
ator Quinn in contracting with the Ter,
ritory did not act as an agent of the
Territory. .#gts ' ...".
Apparently Quinn, in accepting the
contract, did so merely as private in
