TEN salary warrants for the past

the city and county Of Honolulu
and amounting to little less than
$500, we're refused payment by the To-
cal banks this morning after being
rendered by City Treasurer D. Lloyd
Conkling, who had cashed the war
rants for the men receiving them.
The remainder of the payroll was
paid without question, Mr.. Conkling
being informed by the various l<nks
that the 10 warrants would not be
paid until decision had been res.
dered In the Injunction suit brought
against j. K. Vierra, superintendent
of public parks and public buildings.
This suit is a test case to settle the
question whether a city official can
hold office after the mayor has ap-
pointed another man in his place
even though the mayors appointee
had been rejected by the board of

treasurer Conkling cashed most of
the pay warrants of these men this

him, so that in the event of the de-

pushed a year and half ago upon
his retirement for age from active
service, Brig. Gen. John p. Wiser, re-
called to active service recently for
the Hawaiian department, this morn

poetic touch into my career, and even
after being retired always planned
to come back for occasional visits"
AS to the popularity of the return
ing officer; several large vases Of
beautiful flowers on his desk and near
by tables bore witness. Civilian and
army friends dropped in through the
forenoon to welcome him back.
Mrs. Wiser did not return with the
general, but remained in Berkeley to
make home for their son Philip.
who has entered the university this
year. She plans to visit the islands

BOARD PLANNING
TOAGAIN PROBE
CITY PURCHASER

Further investigation will probably
be made into the city purchasing de
partment after tonight's meeting OF
the board Of supervisors is over.
The ways and means committee
which will submit report of their
enquiry into the matter and recon-
mend that the Office either be reor.
gsnized or abolished, held a brief
meeting this morning and decided that
certain phases of the department
which had not been previously con-
sidered might be investigated. 1t is
anticipated that following the read
ing of the report and recommendation
resolution will be introduced to-
night advocating that the ways and
means committee go into the pur-
chasing department matter a little
more fully and report al the next
meeting.
Some OF the members of the COM
mittee seem to think that there is
"a possibility OF recognizing the pur-
chasing department and making a
success OF it by increasing the staff
and providing adequate facilities for
its work. The matter will be fully
discussed at the supervisors meeting
tonight
Mayor Joseph j. Fern would not
commit himself this morning as to

sition Of city engineer, building in.
