Granolithic walks will be completed be-
fore cold weather. il no bad luck.
The work on both is being pushed as
rapidly as circumstances will permit.
Two things have been decided upon;
the car track will be lowered and the
famous ditch filed up. The filing Of
the ditch will add at least ten feet to
the width OF the street, and the lower
ing OF the street will give still more
room for vehicles, and render the
street much more serviceable and sight
ly than at present.
The old sidewalks, as suggested In
last issue of the News, e being utilized
as far as possible on the side and back
streets, which also adds TO the comfort
and convenience OF the people living
of the main street. The new work is
all being done well, and with n view to
permanency. There are a few people

YET UNCERTAIN ABOUT
COUNTY SUPERVISORS
Fred TurreIl Appears and Has Lively Colo
guy With the Commission..-No Light
On the Mooted Points.

The County Act Commission aboard
its craft is now embarked on the Ocean
of Uncertainty with no compass to guide
it to the right port, for at last nights
session the Commission was as far as
ever from a definite knowledge of
whether 10 frame an Act for elected
Boards of Supervisors or one calling for
all boards to be appointed by the Gov
ernor. The compass is the Territorial
Supreme Court, for upon the way it
directs county government in Hawaii
will be established
Various views were presented last
night as to how the commission might
frame an act which would avoid this
Charybdis and Scylla in its delibera-
tions, but none nave yet been thought
feasible from a superficial examination
of their merits.
Chairman Cooper's suggestion was
considered valuable in which he put an
proposition that the 1egisla-
ture pass an Act making it permissible
for the Governor to appoint the Board
of Supervisors and then make a test
case in the Supreme Court, so that while
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-08-03

the matter was pending before the
judges, the County Act government
would be in running order, and if the
court decided that the officers should
be elected this could be easily done and
with but little disturbing of the estab-
lished form of government
Mr.. Watson did not agree with this
method, stating that this would be a
partisan board and what it accomplish
ed in its short life, even if knocked
out by the Supreme Court, would pro-
badly take years to wipe out.
AIR. Watson stated also that the Home
Rule convention had put in its plat
form the proposition to give Federal
control of the Leper Settlement, of
which the Commission might take cog
nizance. Chairman Cooper set himself
squarely on record as unalterably op-
posed to such condition, holding that
once entirely in the control of the United
States Government Molokai would be-
come a national leper lazeretto
