PUBLIC WORKS DISCUSSED
Road Supervisor Campbell and Mr..
ThurStOn on Municipal Needs.
Methods Of City G1VrDmeDt-M Making Of Streets
Mr.. Andrews ClunstlS Attendance al
Republican Meeting.

Marston Campbell, Read Supervisor
of Honolulu, read paper before the
Triangle Literary Club at the Y. M. G.
A. yesterday evening. J. Il. Temple
ton presided and several outsiders were
among the listeners. The subject was
Public Works" Mr.. Campbell dis
cussed municipal government, recon-
menuing a simple and direct system for
Honolulu. The heads of different
branches of public works should not
be too much hampered with red tape.
He gave his views on different kinds OF
street paving, favoring asphalt for or
binary streets and Belgian block for
streets having heavy traffic. When he
came here about a year ago he was
startled at seeing the heavy drays and
enormous loads they carried on the wa
ter front. Under municipal govern
ment the people would have to pay di-
rect for public improvements, as the
present sources of revenue would large
ly disappear from the uses of the city.
His idea was that ordinary street i'm
provemonts, such as paving, curbing,
sewering, ETC., should be taxed on the
district directly benefited, while i'm.
portant street extensions of general
benefit should be partly borne by the
municipality. Mr.. Campbell spoke of
the necessity for storm water drainage
in Honolulu. He answered a number
of questions after concluding his ad d.
dress.
Lorrin A. Thurston, who, as Minister
Of the Interior, in the first Reform Gov
eminent, gave public works, streets
and roads in particular an impetus they
had not had for many years, was the
next speaker. He compared the city
governments in the United States hav-
ing an autocratic mayor with some
of those in Europe where the mayor
was rather figurehead and the admin
istration in the hands of department
committees. Both systems had their
distinctive merits. The speaker SEEM
ingly leaned to the European mode.
1t was curious to find republican form
Of city government in monarchical
countries, and practically the monar.
chical principle holding sway in the
great Republics municipalities. Mr.
| Thurston described the great progress
made in Glasgow, mentioning especi.
ally the transformation of sections
from being worse than our Chinatown
to condition of cleanliness and come
illness. This was done by BUILDING
t..st, whose experiment was eminent
ly profitable in a financial way. Mr.
Thurston advocated municipal control
and in some things ownership, of tn,
common public services, light and wa
ter.
| IOrrin Andrews urged those nresert
to attend the Republican mass NEE.
ing tonight, as there the ball would b;
set rolling to provide good government
for the Territory and municipalities.
Votes of thanks were passed to Mes
Sis. Campbell and Thurston for Their
| instructive addresses.

KamaIo Compromised considere

Harvey r. Hitchcock, Mr.. Meyer,
Lawrence II. Dee, Harry l.. Evans and
Charles J. Fishel were elected by the
dissatisfied stockholders OF the Kama
10 Sugar Co. last night as compromise
committee. The meeting unanimous.
ly refused an offer from Frank Hus-
tace of $4,000 in cash and $40, 1000 in
paid-up stock. 1t instructed the CON-
mittee to ask for $4,000 in cash and
$4,000 in paid-up stock. to make the
$4,000 1t is alleged the original in
corporators illegally diverted from the
treasury. The committee had a con-
ference with Mr.. Hustace this morn
Ing. He objected to their proposal, for
one reason, because he held that his
offer had been improperly given out
for publication. The committee does
not indeed desire to make any final
compromise with Mr.. Hustace. They
say Mr. Foster, who Is absent on Molo-
kai, Is the chief man to deal with. A
settlement with Mr.. Hustace, which
might be rejected by the other defen-
dants after the sale of delinquent
shares had been allowed, would put
them in a hole.

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.

The late despatch received by the
Bulletin through its special Associated
Press service indicates that notwith-
standing the sharp debate reused in the
Senate by the conference report, the
Hawaiian bill as given in the des-
patches by the Moana has passed the
Senate. The bill now goes to the
House for the confirmation of the con-
ference report. In view of the fact
that the bill adopted by the new con-
ference committee Is practically the
House measure, the prospects are that
the Representatives will promptly ac-
cept the final report and our Territorial
bill will receive the signature of the
President in few days.
Republicans may well feel gratified
at the result and the early prospect of
Hawaii being once more on a settled
governmental basis. The Republican
Party has done its work faithfully and
without doubt by Its generous action
toward citizens Of the Islands has put
us well on the way to Statehood, pro-
vided the people are ready to accep,
the responsibilities placed upon them
In the true, patriotic, broad American
spirit. The situation is such as to
prove the timeliness of local Republi-
cans taking active measures toward
political organization. Today's news
should add enthusiasm and force to the
preliminary meeting tonight, and
should put new power into the activi-
ties of Republicans throughout the ISL
ands.
