To the President OF the Senate: The
Ways and Means Committee, to whom
NeTc IeielItu iltiho III VIC fhppio-
priation bill under Department of Pub
lie Works. beg to report as follows:
Item III, salary OF CLERK $500. Your
committee finds .Ais is intended for the
clerk to the assistant superintendent, a
very important and necessary position.
We therefore recommend this item
should pass as follows: Salary Of clerk
to the assistant superintendent. s2,4oo.
Item 172, salary of superintendent of
sewers, 5000. The committee finds the
of sewers is supposed to
make a daily inspection of the entire |
system, from Liliha stree. to Punahou !
md from Beretania street to the sea, to
inspect all connections and see that they |
ire properly made, and have general su-
,ervision of the entire sewerage system, |
10 that whenever leak or break oc- /
,urs a saving can be made by promptly |
'epairing the same.
The committee finds that under the |!
Board of Health two plumbing inspectors ,
are employed, one at $500 and the 9TH |
,r at s2,40O, whose duties also require |
hem to inspect all connections and see
hat they are properly made.
Therefore your committee does not see ,
he necessity of two departments provid-
ng for the same work, and believes /
economy could be obtained by making the .
3oard or Health inspect the connections
II the sewers, and reducing the salary of
he superintendent of sewers to $2,4oo We .
'ecommend: Salary of superintendent of
sewers, s240o.
Item 173, sewer pay roll $500. Your |
committee finds that this item covers
,nly such assistance as Is now being .
Used; that Is, one engineer. a fireman
md a messenger boy. This will be en-
irely inadequate for the system when
he 1000 connections. that are to be made
IS rapidly as possible are finished and
he system in full operation.
This Legislature must make provision
or increased service in this department,
nd a careful estimate of its needs when
n full running order Is as follows: T.
