stated that he had purchased another
lot on which he could move, but that
he did not have the money out OF
his business with which to build and
that a move at this time would in all
probability mean a loss of several
thousand dollars to him, which he
was not in a position to lose at this
time. After the matter had been dis
cussed fully It was decided to author
ize the mayor and clerk to draw up
a lease for ten years more in addition

all Of the decayed and diseased part
Of the tree and have covered the in

Nothing could be more ridiculous
than to assert that government would
be improved and an increased sense
of responsibility engendered by turn
ing the city over to Board of Sup
ervisors for two years, giving them
absolute sway and eliminating all the
checks and limitations for the period
for which they are elected.
The Situation as regards our local
government is properly dealt with
under the scheme having the support
of the Republican organization. That
scheme provides for perfecting the
weak points that have developed in

plated revolutionizing the whole sys-
tenn and saddling the city of Honolulu
with another experiment.

the present law was foisted upon the
city by the very argument now offered
for the commission plan, with no re-

ibility should be centered in the May

Board of Health For
Two Days.

One death, being a contact case that
has been held in the Kalihi detention
camp for several days, and no new
cases was the report of the Board of
Health this morning on the cholera
situation. The failure of any new
cases to appear for two successive
days is now taken to mean that the
serious possibility of the disease gain
ing a strong foothold in Honolulu has
passed. The sanitation work under
the direction of President Mott Smith
of the Board of Health continues with
undated vigor and no question of jul
risdiction is interfering with the work
of the board in carrying out the cam
paign for cleanliness and safety.
The failure of new cases to appear
for two days indicates beyond all doubt
that the methods of the Board of
Health with the cooperation of the
Federal physicians have been sue
cessful,

FOLLOW UP THE ADVANTAGE.

Whether the freedom from new
cholera cases is a lull or means that
all the sources of infection have been
discovered and purified, there is but
one thing for the people and the Off
cials to do-keep up the good work
of cleansing the city
Everyone hopes that experience in
coping with the disease has enabled
the health officers to guarantee the
city against the repetition of former
experiences when the disease crop
ped up in new places as the quaran-
tine period was about to expire
The one certain guarantee is to car
ry on the city cleaning with renewed
vigor, and meanwhile lay plans so
well and so broad that the improve
ment in sanitary conditions will be
permanent though the activities may
extend over a period of years. Elab-
crate and thorough reclamation re-
quires time as well as money.
Honolulu's opportunity to gain the
benefits of an advantage is right now.
Follow up the preliminary sanitation
so rapidly and effectively that cholera
germs will find no place to exist in all
Honolulu, which is the gateway to all
Hawaii.

WHAT Mr.. SUPE
SUGGESTS

Editor Evening Bulletin: 1
would suggest that when the Legisla-
ture comes to the solving OF the school
problem, that the following changes be
considered
That in every school district, except
ing probably, Honolulu, Hilo and 9TH
er large places, there be school COM
mittee elected consisting of three mem
bers, and only parents or guardians
who have children in the school to be
eligible. That the teachers shall only
be appointed with their approval and
discharged by them with the approval
of the school inspector. They shall
have charge of the school property and
such other duties as the Legislature
might see fit to give them. This would
be a better connecting link between
the parents and the teacher, than the
policeman.
The teachers should draw their SAL
aries for the eight months they work,
during the time they are earning them,
instead of having them drawn out
through tho whole year. This is
neither fair to the taxpayer nor to the
teacher. The taxpayer is to be bled
for more money because he is led to
believe the teacher receives far less
salary than she really does. The
teacher is kept out of her just dues
long after her work is done.
There should be prizes offered for
the best scholars in each county. a
few years ago prizes were offered for
the best cabbages, cucumbors, etc.,
raised by the scholars, but | have
never heard of any effort made to
show up the best scholars. Such
prizes would not serve only for a
