I consider these changes and additional
appointments necessary to the further-
ance of proper, prompt and diligent ser
vice in the engineering, bureau generally
and to the ultimate accomplishment of the
large amount of work in special lines,
which is certainly greatly needed to place
the Bureau In position to act more rap
idly and with greater certainty in all its
departments, and make it what it logi-
cally should be, not only bureau of en-
gineering. but bureau OF information
as well, with records carefully complied
and indexed, within the reach of all the
people of our city and intending investors
from without.
A summary Of some of the principal
features of this necessary special work,
as stated in my communication to the
Board of Finance, is as, follows:-
F'irst-Intelligent and comprehensive
gathering together and indexing of all the
records of the bureau.
Second-The making of the general
sewerage plan of the entire city, showing
all sewers constructed or to be construct
ed, with the size and character thereof
said plan being one of the charter re-
Quirements.
Third-The making of complete grade
map of the entire city, showing the grades
of all streets opened or to be opened.
Fourth-The making of map and
schedules, to - complied from data se-
cured by thorough and exhaustive search
of the records, showing the location and
size of all private sewers existing through
out this city.
Fifth-The verification of the present
water pipe map and the making of addi-
tions thereto, showing the size and char
acter of pipe to be laid in streets having
no water service at the present time.
IN conclusion l submit that the persons
recommended for appointment in the en-
gfneering bureau and in the assessment
branch thereof are persons whom know
from personal observation to be of steri-
ing qualities and proper qualification for
the various offices laid out for them
Respectfully submitted,
L. D. FOWLER.
Chief Engineer.
It will be seen that the chief has made
certain changes, not in the Engineering
Bureau, but in the assistant commission
ers' department. In Mr.. Fowler's place
Mr.. T. Y. Brown has been promoted, and
not only in position, but in salary. Both
men are first-ciass engineers, with a thor
ough knowledge of the requirements of
the Office and that department of the city
will be in good hands. But the most i'm
portant feature of the recommendations
are the new appointees, for whom the adj
di;ioaal appropriations will be provided
for BY the Board of Finance. At its meet
ing on Friday morning Mr.. Fowler ex-
Dlaiaed that he needd a strong staff Of
men to do certain very pressing work,
which he outlined to them. To pay this
staff Mr.. Fowler pointed out that by
charging the survey and other engineer
Ing expenses of public improvements to
the Engineers Bureau, which expenses
will be included In the assessments when
collected and prepared, the CITY Will have.
An increased staff without any extra cost

Now that the fee bill is about to
pass the Legislature it is seen that the
objects Of the bill have miscarried. The
high class salaries Of the wealthy and
populous counties are protected under
the law, while there is mighty little
increase for the officers of the smaller
counties. The fee bill that was In the
mind of the governor and Of the fee
bill reformers is not the bin that has
been agreed to in conference. Will 1t
be vetoed and a special session of the
Legislature called to try and pass an
other one. Perhaps. Certain 1t is that
the governor has suggested legislation
enough to keep both houses in session
until Christmas, judging from the
manner in which they discharge busi-
ness. Better pension the Legislature
and let it adjourn.

1t was natural that the British
press should see in the annexation of
Hawaii an attempt on the part of the
United States to colonize, but it by no
means follows that the British press is
right. Uncle Sam is not in the colon
izing business, but United States COM
merce demanded half way house to
the Pacific and the exclusion of any
foreign power from controlling those
islands in the ocean midway between
Japan and San Francisco. The occu-
pancy of Hawaii is the natural out
growth of this necessity. All the ter
ritory that is needed is already includ-
ed in the boundaries of this republic
To develop that without interference
and promote her commerce is the plain
pathway of empire that lies before this
