FOR PURCHASING BUREAU.

We believe the remedy for this con-
dition to be the Inauguration of
Purchasing Bureau under the Public
Works Department, through which
requsition should pass from all de-
as practicable.
I'VE are informed that move In
this direction has already been made
by the Superintendent of Public
Works whereby all purchasing of suo-
bureaus in this department passes
through the hands of the Assistant
Superintendent of Public Works. This
is undoubtedly n meritorious move,
but 1t does not go far enough. The
Assistant Superintendent of Public
Works has about all he can attend to
when he properly performs the impor-
tant duties pertaining to his imme-
date office.
I'VE feel convinced that such n bur-
eau with a competent and honest man
to run 1t, would effect great saving
to the government.
NO SALARIES FROM EXPENSES.
your committee would recommend
that provision be made in the appro-
DTldllOl WHcICpy HtauS VI puT-
eaus will be prevented from drawing
out of current expense funds moneys
to pay salaries. Nothing In this line
should be drawn from these funds ex-
cept for labor actually pertaining to
the work for which appropriation was
made. The past practice has enabled
these bureau heads to make and I'M
make positions, lower or raise salaries,
in fact they have endowed themselves
with Legislative functions.
In some cases current expense APP
propriations carrying important per-
manent positions have run out before
the end of the period. and hardship re-
suited A case In point Is the recent
shutting down of pumping plants in
this city. Had the Superintendent OF
Water Works asked for n proper
segregation of regular pump employees
in the salary and pay roll appropria-
ton bill, 1t would have been granted
and that unfortunate incident would
not have occurred"
You committee has refrained from
again referring in this general report
to special matters already reported to
this Honorable House, all of which is
respectively submitted.

penditures.

easily be arranged so that the several
bureaus bear their proportionate share
of the expense.
Your committee could go on almost
interminably commenting upon minor
extravagances in public expenditures.
In our investigation, we have been
confronted with what we deem to be
a lack Of sense of appreciation as to
what Is due the Government as well
as ignorance on the part of its agents
in purchasing material, supplies, We
hicles, animals. etc. and effecting
other liabilities.

.$756.O0


Your committee is of the opinion
that the Superintendent of Public
Works should secure restitution of the
sum of $756.00 which Cotton Brothers
G. Company have illegally collected for
this work.
There also appears an item of $s2S.00,
labor on Aala Park of 276 men at $500
per day. This was explained by the
Assistant Superintendent Of Public
Works as being caused by an error of
the Acting Assistant Superintendent
of Public Works at the time, Mr.. G. II.
Gere, through not at first giving the
contractors proper grade in placing
dredgings on Aala Park. In such case.
receipt should be on file from the
men doing the work; voucher now on
file is merely for 276 days labor at
$500 per day. Paid Cotton Brothers
In this connection, we note the differ
ence paid for laborers. the rate in this
bill being $500 per day, while in other
bills the rate paid was $500 per day,
at which price sufficient labor was
available.
In view of these facts. the Govern
ment was forced to pay through gross
incompetence or negligence on the
part of the Public Works Department,
$3.50 for labor at an unreasonable
rate.
SHOULD HAVE DREDGER.
You committee considers 1t a re-
markable business proposition for the
Government with $500OO.00 of neces-
sary dredging on it's hands, to ALLEVIATE
it's entire apparatus used in the per-
Torrance of the work for no tangible,
intrinsic consideration. and immedt-
ately thereafter call for tenders to do
this work, thereby rendering itself
helpless in the hands of contractors at
any prices they saw fit to charge.
The tenders for contracts show on
their face that there was absolutely no
competition. In this connection, we
note that voucher paid by warrant
1914 for SO, POI 90, the last payment I'M
der the contract with Cotton Bros. &
Co. for Section 2, was endorsed to and
drawn by w. F. Dillingham;, who
signed the contract for Section /, on
behalf of the Hawaiian Dredging
Company.
Your committee is of the opinion
that IL the Territory is to be burdeIfed
with a continuance of dredging Homo
lulu harbor an appropriation should be
made for the purchase of new dredge
apparatus, as we are informed by
officials charged with navigation In the
harbor, that the above dredged Sec
lions are rapidly filling up, and 1t will
be necessary to do the work again In
a short time.

If from being tossed about in the foSs
and storms which surround and overtake
us we can come into the home as into a
beautiful lNnd-locked harbor; if husbands
can come from their offices and business
phere, bringing with them the spirit
which shall exercise care and make home a
refuge to them, and if wives and mothers
welcome them into such homes where the
very air as the doors are opened seems
fragrant with love and restful sympathy
and pure and refreshing with cheerfu}ness
such a home is ideal and refuge for all its
inmates. 1t is such homes that keep the
church alive and develop the same old rev
crence and faith and hope and love W hich
have blessed the world ever since Abraham
built the first altar to Almighty God III

lied by the territorial government
Of the islands. Forest conditions In

hundred thousand acres Of forest
land Of great values for protective
purposes. The underground on this

40 dense character that II complete
ly shades the ground, this covering

Rlomerate growth IL easily destroyed
