Valuations and the benefits ac-

this should not be tolerated. 1t is
we'll known that the former Super
intendent favoIved him largely in
the furtherance of his real estate
dealings by making improvements
along his Kalihi holdings in order
to enhance their market value to
him, and we think that the Senator
should give fair quid pro quo to
the Government. But instead o!
that, he has used the Government,
through his official connection, to
the furtherance of his own personal
interests, and in tead OF the Govern
mept getting the return, the Quid pro

We yesterday touched lightly on
this matter, which seems to have
been a quid pro quo for the con-
firmatory vote given as a Senator,
in previous transaction OF public
interest. There is, apparently, some
cloudiness which at preeent pre-
vents a clear view; but the clouds
may yet roll by aud bstter knowl-
edge be obtained about this dee',
which we consider to be- for per-
sonal profit and scheme against
the public interest, not being ex-
actly an exchange OF value for
value, but seemingly very one-sided.
1t must also be remembered that
this is no new matter, but was held
in absyancs for months through
ths interference of au official
who thought that the Government
interest could bs better servsd
otherwise, since which time de-
cided change has come over the
spirit OF the Council.

Ell. After Col j II Boyd became
the Superintendent OF Public
Works, Senator Achi allowed the
Government the free use OF his
quarry at Kaiulau tract, 60 that
tho macadamiz ng aud grading OF
ths streets thereabouss may be
pushed ahead to al early couple
tion, This was not the only con.
sideratiou, but there were others,
where strips OF land were taken for
the extension of streets out Kalibi
way and out Kamoiliili way (both
extremes almost). Instead OF being
free gifts on his part, he being
largely interested aud very greatly
benefited by the making Il these
streets, he demanded certain
tract of land in South Koua, Ha-
waii, in close proximity TO lands
there held by him. This tract, we
understand, contains about 1,500
acres, more or less, between two
Government roads.
