County Must Now Pay Road Superintendent Salary Change
The Hawaii territory facing budget cuts to public works contemplates ending the $200 monthly Territory allowance for Road Supervisor Samuel Johnson. The Board of Supervisors considers whether the county should fund Johnson’s position, noting most work benefits the county. Johnson’s Territorial pay may end by October, shifting him to county service with only $50 monthly from the county while performing county road duties. Plans include possible abolition of the Territorial Assistant Public Works office as the superintendent could handle the workload alone.
