Chairman Aiken states that owiriR
to an unexpected delay in delivery of
the notices of appointment of work

substantial purchases, according to

twven 50 and 75 convicts from the
Oahu prison.
The objection to the road is that
it is built upon the sand of the beach
whero it will be almost impossible to
prevent it washing out when the sea
is high. It is mid that a road above
the sand is entirely feasible.
Extra
Maui's Quota
s Surprise
Maui's quota for the 4th Liberty
Loan is $450,150.
This information was received by
W. O. Aiken by wireless from Hono
lulu headquarters this afternoon after
the MAUI NEWS had gone to press.
It is a surprise inasmuch as it is
practically $150,000 more than had
been expected.
Hawaii's quota is $400,000; Kauai's,
$364,800; Oahu's, $5,550,000. Total

Principal Due Next Week All
Schools Open On Time
Mthough the schools or Maui are
si ill short sonic 8 or 9 teachers all
pupils are being cared for, either
through doubling up of classes or by
substitute teachers. The end of the
first week of the school year is de
clared to show everything running
smoothly.
Tho department has recently secur
d the services of L. L. Summers, of
California, to take the principalship
o l'the Hamakuapoko High and Gram
mar school, succeeding WillHir S. Bee
man. It is understood that he left
San Francisco '.he middle of this week
and he is expected to arrive here the
latter part of next week. An item in
a Honolulu paper announcing his ar
rival in Honolulu was an error, as at
the time it appealed he had not left
the mainland.
Mr. Summers conies highly rec
ommended. He is said to have had
18 years experience as in instructor.
The failure of Mr. Ileeman to return
it the last moment is responsible for
the vacancy's not having been filled
sooner. It is stated that Mr. iseeman
had trouble in getting booking from
San Francisco, and when he found he
would be late cabled to the depart
ment tli.it he would not come at all
unless the rule by which he would
lose bis pay for the first half of Sep
tember, were waived. This was re
fused, and steps taken at once to se
cure a successor.

and 2000 men in the territory are af
fected by the ruling.

and other county clerks decided to

for decision.
