CITY DADS GET
TWO BILLS FOR
BATHING SUITS
But Supt. A. K. Vierra Says
They Were Ordered. Accept
ed Without His Permission

Although none CT the clothing
stores have reported a shortage in
the crop OF fall bathing suits, to Judge
from the report submitted last night
by 4. X. Vferra, superintendent Of
public grounds and buildings. TO the
board of supervisors, regarding the
purchase OF two lots Of suits, one for
s4S and the other for $96, there is
evidently a shortage somewhere.
The report declares that the BATH
ing suits were ordered without the
superintendent consent and accepted
by the keeper of the public baths, and
admits a shortage, but not of bathing
suits, but rather OF a shortage Of
funds. The report concludes that
the appropriated funds OF this di-
vision of the department, due to an
increase in business in the last two
months, will not permit the stretching
of the appropriation to the payment
of these two bills
The board was asked to take up
the consideration Of the same but sat
isfied itself by filing the report.
VieTra's report on the bath houses for
August was also received and filed.
The receipts for the month we're
$S36.12 and expenditures S719,36.

CITY PURCHASING

Supervisors Committee Says
II is Failure and of No
Use to Taxpayers

City and County Auditor James
Bicknell will be given charge of the
city purchasing department and also
given an additional clerk whose duty
il will be to tabulase bids and awards
and submit them to the various de
partments, If the report and re""'.@
mendation Of the ways and means
committee which has m esttsateu 49,
found the purchasing department d
failure, are accepted by the board OF
supervisors at the next meeting. The
report OF the committee which says
that the purchasing department has
failed from its inception to give the
service expected was to have been
read at the meeting last night but
has been deferred until the Friday
night session.
The reports, in part, adds:
Your committee has made a care,
full and thorough investigation o. this
subject and is convinced that it would
be inadvisable to continue the de-
partment on its present basis.
The department, from its incep-
ton in 1915, has failed to give the
service that was expected of it. This
failure has been due in part to a man
ifestly inadequate office force. to the
ordinance creating the department,
and to the peculiar conditions of the
community. Under the original or
dinance the purchasing agent worked
single-handed in buying all the ;rr.er-
ials and equipment for the city and
county.
Under the amended ordinance
which is in force at present, the bulk
of the power of the purchasing agent
is conferred upon the departments.
The purchasing agent merely calls
for certain bids on standard articles,
and the departments make the pur-
chases. His duties are clerical.
Your committee therefore recon-
mends that the department be abolish
ed and that bids be called Scr as
heretofore by the board. 1t suggests
that the auditor be authorized to
employ an additional clerk, whose
duty will be to tabulate the bids aud
awards and to submit them to the de-
partments. 1t would also be his duty
to approve all purchases made, to
guard against the overdrawing of an
appropriation. He would be a bill
clerk as well who would be required
to see that the bills for each Month
are in before the opening of the sue.
ceeding month. In this way great
deal would be accomplished hat is
very much needed, and the same saw
ing would be made in buying supplies.
I'm closing, it may be added by
your committee that the auditor is
about to ask for an additional! clerk
a request he will not be required TO
make if the board adopts these recon-
mendations as the spare time of the
bill clerk would be at the service of
the auditor" ~ .''r&

BOARD Orders
SURVEYS MADE
OF INILEI ROAD

Following the reading OF a petition
signed by eight property owners and
lessees on the iwilei road in the dis
trict OF Palama, declaring that in view
of the continued growth in that sec
ton the present road was unsatfsfac'
tory, the board of supervisors last
night followed the advice of the peti
ton and ordered the city and county
engineer to go ahead with the work
Of surveying and preparing plans and
estimates of possible cost of making
a main highway in that district.
The petition pointed out that the
Iwilei district is becoming manufac-
turing center, and that a good sub
stantial road was needed to bear the
traffic. The property owners in that
district are quite willing, according
to the petition, to participate in the
cost of constructing the road either
on the basis of frontage per foot, or
acreage.

GRAND JURORS
ROAST AUDITOR

After being empanelled since Tues.
day last, the grand jury Of the Fourth
district court, yesterday completed
their deliberations and returned indict-
ments in fourteen cases, says the Hilo
Tribune. -.
With regard to various county af-
fairs they had the following to say:
I'VE have Investigated irregularities
as to certain county warrants and
have not been able to find true bill
in one case. In two instances the lack
of having the warrants on account of
their mysterious disappearance from
the auditors office and the identity
of the persons indorsing the same pre-
vents us from making further investi.
cations.
ct is very evident to US there has
been laxity and carelessness on the
part of the county auditor in these
two instances, even though one of
his assistants had to make good the
amounts Of these two warrants. We
are of the opinion that county war
rants should be mailed direct to the
parties entitled thereto. The system
of having county supervisors from the
outer districts receive warrants from
the county auditor and distribute them
should DE discontinued.
I'VE find from our Investigation
that the county treasurer and his
deputy have been yiligant and they
certainly have the commentator of
this body. ... H..
"In the matter of the purchase of
gasoline, tires and auto supplies by
road oyerseers and those connected
with the road department has been
brought to our attention and it seems
to us that too much latitude is given
TO the road overseers. There should
be limitation upon purchases to be
made by each and every road over.
seer in purchasing gasoline, tires, etc.
for their automobiles, even though the
automobiles are county property"

twenty-five applicants asked for their
second papers. Most of the applicants
were Germans whose first papers had
been granted previously. There had
been four reflections up to noon be-
cause the applicants did not show suf-
ficient knowledge of the state and
federal governments. One man did
not know whether the Indiana state
legislature met at Indianapolis or
Washington, and ne had never heard
of the city of Chicago. Judge Fred

hearings recently ruled that second
papers could be granted to Germans
who had made their application for
citizenship before the United States
and Germany went to war.
