ment majority in the all-absorbing
telephone controversy to bring about
an adjustment of the differences
heretofore existing between the
Board of Supervisors and the Tele-
phone Company.

suggested he submitted to the spe-
cial committee from the Honolulu
Merchants Association, and then he
brought them before the telephone
management for their acceptance.

considerable discussion. In the end
the city and county solons decided
that they be brought before the
