men in that department very bright.
There was something OF squirm
over the pay OF head carpenter" who
did not, according to the report of the
Superintendent of Public Works, ap-
pear to be a head carpenter and for
that reason did not recommend him for
an increase. Senator Smith insisted
that the man should have as much pay
as a carpenter could earn in any other
| job but was ruled down. The item
was brought up after recess by Senator
Mccarthy and raised as desired by
Senator Smith.
| Senator Coelho, with becoming mod
.esty, had the pay of the pilot at Kahu
| lul increased to 5000 a month. The
deputy tax assessor of Maui, through
the efforts of the same gentleman, was
made twenty-five dollars a month
richer.

would recommend an increase for the
deputies in the Hawaii tax division but

sequently no changes were made in the
bill. In the Kauai division none We're

ances there were several changes. Mr..
Merriam was increa sed to 1925, his dep

the permanent settlements was that of
$500 per annum for Mrs. Wells, of Maui.

raised to S125 but the mechanic in the

500 a month instead of SIS and Will
liam Vannatta, who fills the same posi-
ton in Hilo, is to have 1925 a month
and a forty dollar clerk. His duties
have been increased and the returns
from the water sales are sufficient to |
warrant these salaries and still be a
paying institution. The Superintend-
ent of the Water Works at Laupahoe-
hoe will get IS month in future in
stead of two. He may feel sure this !
sum will not be cut in the House. The |
Lahaina man who controls the water |
supply is to be paid sS5 instead of $50 |
as formerly. la
