One verbal amendment was made
and there was more or less rambling
debate over various provisions without
any amendments finding favor. Hol-
stein after d while called for reasons
from the Oahu members why the char.
ter shoud be amended as proposed.
Alfonso considered the members
from other counties had an interest, as
a model charter for Honolulu was de-
sirable in the event f municipal gov
ernment being desired in future other
towns.
Marcallino explained at length that
the purpose was to end the wrangles

RECKLESS, DRIVING.

F. E. Steere of the Waterhouse
Trust Company, was present in the
police court this morning as com
planning witness in a case against a
Japanese named H. Anami, who was
charged with reckless driving of an
automobile. Steere and a party of
friends were driving along Diamond
Head, proceeding up the HILL when
the defendant, IN Peerless car,
came down at very fast rate and
a collision between the two cars was
narrowly averted. The Japanese in the
Peerless car claimed that Steere's
car was proceeding up the hill at a
reckless speed, nut Judge VIM. B. Ly-
mer accepted the story of the com
planning witness and fined the de-
fendant $35 and costs.

According to the terms of the pro-

A new LAND LAW

An act is being drafted and will be
introduced in the Senate next week
which, if it becomes law, will place

HAS PLAN FOR THE
LOCAL WATER WORKS

Robert Shingle, city and county
treasurer, today sent the following
letter to Chairman Rice of TIE House
finance committee:
Hon Charles A. Rice, chairman
finance committee, House of Repre-
sentatives, Honolulu, T. II.
Dear Sir: In the discussions be-
fore your committee on Wednesday
evening relative to the taking over Of
the water and sewer system by the
city and county of Honolulu, 1t SEEM
ed to me that everyone was agreed
on the point that the management
naturally belonged to the municipal
authorities. The opponents to the
Archer bill which was under discus
sion, argued that existing conditions,
such as the bond obligation, coupled
with the lack of confidence in the
county management, did not justify a
change at the present time.
"Since the meeting | have discussed
the matter with a number Of citizens
with the result that ! believe that a
compromise measure could be pre-
pared by your committee which would
meet the situation all around and al
the same time create a management

Castle argued that the change was
desirable and would fit the case Of a
Republican mayor and a Democratic
board equally with the present rever.
sed situation.

moved that the committee rise, report
progress and ask leave to sit again,

SENATE HOLD
OVER REPORT

The first report of the Senate
hold over committee was made
today, this committee having
been created by resolution of the ses
sion of 1909 to prepare and submit to
the 1911 Senate such data as to the
territory's financial condition as
might guide the members if delibera
tons affecting new legislation.
Senator Fairchild is chairman and
Senator Kalama a member.
There was a balance december 81
last, of $765, 5,333,97. The total ex
penditure for Is months was $4,000,

that would be responsive to local SEN
timent The plan is along the lines
laid down by the governor in his
message on Administration Loan
bill.
Instead of the Archer bill l would
respectfully suggest that your COM
mittee consider a substitute bill, Civ
ing the use and management of Homo
lulus water and sewer system to a
commission consisting of five mem.
bers, as follows:
"A supervisor to be selected from
the board Of supervisors, the county
engineer, a Honolulu business man 20
be appointed by the mayor, the su-
perintendent of public works, and a
Honolulu business man (banker if de-
sired) to be appointed by the govern
or.
1T is certain, in my opinion, that
the management of the Honolulu wa
ter and sewer system should not re-
main in the control of an officer who
is occupying several other important
positions, as it is impracticable for
him to do full justice to the needs
of a rapid growing community"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-03-18

In addition to King and the Japan
ese, 1t has been decided to permit
Frank SchTsch to start in the race.
Scharsch claiming to be in good run
ming fettle
Bill Chiffon states that Scharsch
will certainly run well for fifteen
miles, and that if nothing happens 20
the knee which was injured some time
ago, he will come pretty close to win
ming.
Soldier King declares that if Kaoo
does not run in this race, in which he
offers the old Waialua Horse a start
of half mile, that he (King) will not
race against him again under any cir
,cumstances. OF course, Kaoo has him
self to please whether he runs King
or not. 1t is suggested that Kaoo is
waiting to have a crack at Jimmie
Fitzgerald, who asked for a race over
the full marathon course, and, If So
aoo is quite justified in holding
himself in reserve and not endanger-
ing his chances against Fitzgerald, II
such a race should be arranged, by
running in this twenty mile event
against King and Tsukamoto AS the
writer understands the matter Jack
Scully has matched King and Fitzger-
aid over a ten or fifteen mile course,
the distance to be decided after Fitz-
gerald's arrival on the 28th and any
other races with Fitzgerald have yet
to be arranged. AS Fitzgerald is a
marathon runner, perhaps a race be-
tween he and Kaoo would draw well.

20 MILE RACE
IS POSTPONED

Early this morning it was announced
by T. Treadway, managing director
and treasurer of Athletic Park, that
the twenty mile race arranged for
tomorrow between Soldier j. B. King
and Tsukamoto, the Japanese cham
pion, had been postponed for one
week, owing to the condition Of the
track. On Thursday it was stated in
these columns that the rain of We'd
nesday night had undone the work on
the track of the early part of the week
and that it would probably have to
be done over again. This has turned
out to be the case, and the postpone
ment was thus necessary.
