The increased amount of the appro-
priation voted at the last meeting Of

the Honolulu district four new officers
have been put on. Richard c. Lane be-
ing appointed Assistant Hack fnspec-
tor. ]. X. Prendergast getting the APP

made to fill the vacancy in the bicycle
corps caused by the promotion of Hen
ry Espinda.
The changes in the force are expect
ed to bring about an enforcement in
| a stricter way of several of the ordi-
nances. The appointment of the as
sistant hack inspector in particular Is
| important and the rules of the road
! and the hack regulations are to be
made operative, without arrests If pos

| ton is to be paid to the driving OF
automobiles and hacks. the former TO
