The police department of Honolulu
has been thoroughly investigated by
a committee of the Senate. composed
Nakapaahu, William White and ]. u.
Paris. and a report favorable 10 that
body presented. The committee was
appointed mainly to look into the
question of salaries and payrolls, and
incidentally learned that the present
order in the city
The committee strongly recommend
ed that an appropriation be made TO
purchase an alarm system, which they
believe would tend to place the depart
ment on an economical basis in time
The report, which was adopted unani-
mously, is as follows:
Hon. s. f. Kaiue. President of the Sen
ate.
Your special committee, to whom was
referred the item of pay of police for the
Island of Oahu, amounting as in the
Appropriation bill to the sum of s160, coo.
have taken considerable interest In the
matter and have made thorough investi-
cation thereof, knowing the Importance
| of the service and the general misconcep-
ton as to the manner in which the APP
propria ton is apportioned in this ser
vice. particularly on this Island. by the
heads of this bureau.
| The feeling that discrimination and ia
voritism have been practiced dates away
back into monarchical times While we
do not say that this is correct, members
! of the Legislature have been appealed to
| by individual members of the police corps
and thus the matter of police pay Is and
has been taken up at each session of the
! Legislature. until now it is tacitly con-
ceded that It is necessary for the good
of the service that the legislative power
should take part, even in the apportton-
ment OF the pay of the police. This idea
we have endeavored to carry out with
out trespassing upon what may be prop
| erlv deemed matters of denial belonging
especially to the chief of that bureau.
! With this idea in view we called upon
the High Sheriff and with his assistance
gathered statistics and other information
in order to carry out what your commit
tee deems it's duty in this matter.
Your committee was furnished with a
number Of typewriter copies of the pay
roll. from which the committee has been
enabled to act intelligently and which the
committee has based its recommendations
upon.
We find that nearly all the items in the
| pay roll are fairly adjusted and that the
whole amount is absolutely necessary for
the perfect working of this portion OF
the police service All extraneous ser
vice has been dispensed with, and wher-
ever possible. improvements made tend
| ing to a complete orga nization without
weakening the force.
| In view OF the change in our form of
government, and the large addition to our
population in the past two years, the ser
vice will need all the money asked for.

This is all the more creditable to the

STATE REPAIRS.

A bill has Deen introduced in the |
Legislature to appropriate money to
repair the Capitol building, This bill
is just one, as the repairs on the big
building are sorely needed. The ROOF
on the building has needed repairs
for many years, while other portions
of the building are in bad condition
from lack Of coin to keep them in
order
Whenever a State building needs
fixing, it seems to take lot Of ma
nouvering to get money to remedy
the matter. A private. individual
looks after his property by constantly
repairing it as needed. State prop
erty should have the same care and
money always on hand to use for such
a case Should fund be established
for such a course, it would be we'll
expended, and in the end would be a
measure of economy, as it takes less
to fix a small leak than to put on
plaster caused by whole roof leak
ing. Such bills should go through
the Legislature without question as
it is to the States good to keep its
property in as good condition as the
private individual.
