THE MAUI NEWS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1914.
Investigation
(Continued from page 1)
and no authorization being given.
We recommend that all orders be
signed by the County Clerk, and
countersigned by the Chairman of
the Board, and a complete record of
all orders kept on file.
In the course of our investigations
we arc very much surprised and dis
appointed at the apparent extrava
gance in the operating of the various
departments of the County.
For comparative purposes wo
have secured the expenses of the dif
ferent departments of the County of
Kauai, and find that the latter
County is run on a far more econo
mical basis 'hat this of ours, and
this apparently without sacrificing
efficiency. We are well aware that
the County of Kauai is smaller than
that of Maui, in fact on a basis of
either taxation, population, or area,
the relative size is approximately
65, or two-thirds the size of Maui.
Is there any reason why Maui
should pay such exorbitant charges
for the running of the county de
partments? We can find none. Why
should the County Clerk's oflice
here require four men. when the
Kauai County Clerk can run his
alone with an occasional assistant.
Our County Attorney's oflice pays
for the services of three lawyers, and
one stenographer, while on Kauai
the County Attorney does all the
necessary work himself. Likewise
in the other offices on Kauai the
elected County officials appear to do
the work for which they were
elected.
We strongly recommend to the
Board of Supervisors, and the elec
ted County officials, that they im
mediately put their respective de
partments on an economical and
efficient business basis, that ex
penses be cut down ito the lowest
oo3ible figure, and that every dol
'ar expended be made to give an
adequate return.
