BY far the most interesting meeting
held by the Nuuanu dam committee
took place last night. Particular in
terest was given the meeting from the
fact that superintendent of Public
Works Holloway and Assistant Sup
erintendent Howland were present, as
witnesses. They are the men who are
more under fire more than any others,
so far as the government service is
concerned, and the Senate chamber
was crowded with spectators during
the hearing, which was of considerable
duration. Chairman, Senator Charles
F. Chillingworth conducted the exa-
mination but members of the Joint
committee also interrogated the wit
nesses.
One fact was apparent from the In
vestigation last night. This is that
while there is an earnest desire on the
part of the members of the committee
to get possession of the facts relative
to the dam matter, their unfamliarity
with the scientific side of dam con-
struction has handicapped them. There
is not any clear cut line Of policy in
the questionings, as relates to the most
important features of the work Many
Of the questions put were of the most
general character.
There is now a growing belief on
the part of members of the committee
that until Engineer Schuyler arrives
and has made an inquiry into condi-
tiOnS at the dam, the investigation
comittee is cropping in the dark. In
fact there is likely to be steps taken by
the committee to defer until after his

arrival, all further inquiry. In sup
port of this theory, it is urged that
with his expert knowledge, Schuyler
can size up the conditions as they ac-
tually exist, then indicate to the COM
mittee. a line of examination to fol-
low with witnesses, that will result in
demonstrating whether the Territorial
officials have been negligent and have
not protected the rights of the public
as they should. The committee is as
yet ignorant whether the general plan
of the dam is faulty.
The line of examination pursued last
night had no material bearing upon
the actual merits of the construction
of the dam and nothing definite upon
this score, was ELECTED.
Inspector Hewitt was the first wit
ness called. His examination was cry
brief, relating to work that had been
made necessary outside of the dam site
owing to the changes ordered by En-
gineer Kellogg.
Assistant superintendent Rowland
testified relative to the character and
detail of the work done by the con-
tractor. Howland did not consider
that the method adopted by the con-
tractor had been satisfactory and there
had been much time lost. But as re-
CARDS the work that had been accepted
by the government from the contractor
so per cent of which. had been paid for.
it had been entirely satisfactory and
up to the requirements.
In this statement he was corroborated
by Holloway who followed him on the
witness stand.

ATTACKS LAW
Under Which Dispositions
For County Funds are
Designated.
IT'S CLASS LEGISLATION

Prosecuting Attorney G. G. Upham,
of this county, has taken the initial
step in Ohio in bringing the question
pository act in the courts. In taking
the question to the Stark county com.
mon pleas court II is the contention
of the prosecutor that the statute un
der which the proceedings were taken
for the enactment Of the legislation
is null and void, on the ground that II
is special and class legislation, and
that the so-caled special act under
which the Stark county depository was
established has been superseded by
the new general law of the last ses.
sion of tho legislature. The special
act covered repositories In Cuyahoga,
Stark, Lucas and Seneca counties.
The prosecutor Saturday brought ac-
tion in common pleas to have the court
declare null and void the proceedings
which created the First National bank.
of Canton, depository of the county's
money.
The First National bank was
created as the county deposi-
tory by a resolution passed by the
county commissioners In January.
1906, wherein they asked for the es.
tabllshment of a county depository
The first National bank was later Civ.
en- the contract for one and one.half
per cent and the furnishing of a $500.
900 bond
The action requests that the court
order the First National bank to turn
over TO the county all moneys now in
its hands and belonging to the county
and that the commissioners be or.
dered to cancel or return to the bank
the 100000 bond.
The action of the county prosecutor. |
wherein he calculates to make the new |
general depository law supersede the |
old special depository and abolish the |
depository as created under the ola |
law and establish one under them
general depository law, is said to have
been the first action brought upon that
question
Under the new general depository
law the minimum rate Of interest is
two per cent while the old law under
which the First National bank was
created a depository does not specify
any minimum rate. In addition the
new general law provides that no bank
shall be entrusted with more than
100000. County officials state that
he First National bank holds over
100000 OF the county's money.
