CITY ENGINEER AND ROAD DEPT,
ROASTED BY THE SUPERVISORS

| The ears of number of men must
have tingled last night during the ses.
sion of the supervisors, and these
men were Charlie Achi. City Engineer
Whitehouse and Fire Chief Thurston.
Achi came in for the first walloping
! ia which number of the city fathers
! expressed their opinions of building
roads for private citizens. the discus
sion being led by Supervisor Petrie.
| Claim was made that Achi had at no
| time visited the board for the purpose
of discussing the matter of accepting
a lane which he had opened up
| through some property owned by him
self and which he was putting on the
market The board claimed that the
first it knew of a lane through the
property was the attack made by
Achi through the papers OF the city.
Achi was handed about all that was
, coming to him and before that matter
/ was ended the steam was turned on

cd by Cox. who admitted that he had
, been a supporter of the city engineer
| in the earlier part of the administra-

on the other side of the fence, and in
few decisive words stated his be
lief that Whitehouse was not making
good. ~... ..-.".... T.:

This line Of argument was taken m
by Supervisor Wolter and in straight
fromthe-shoulder talk denounced
Hhitehouse as an incompetent person
to have charge of the engineering
work Of the city. and claimed that he
could prove it, and cited the grading
ioh of the lot in Kaimuki that is to
be occupied by a fire station. .. E.--
WOl'er asserted that the board had
asked Whitehouse for a fair estimate
en- the cost of grading the lot and
Whitehouse had gave the board the
figure IF $500. whereas the job had
cost $3.50 and was liable to cost mora
still. Wolter also threw out a few re-
marks in regard to the accident that

PUNAHOU NAMES
Commencement
SPEAKERS
Dewitt Alexander, Julia Camp
bell and Tang Leong Wong
Are Chosen

Since the first days of Punahou it
/ has been the custom of the school to
/ choose from the senior class, three of
| the students with the highest standing
in studies and school activities to de-
liver essays at the commencement en-
ercises. Another year is now nearly
over and another senior class wilt
soon be ready to take their farewell
of Punahou. From this class was
chosen, short time ago, eight
students who by their high scholar
ship are eligible to speak at the COM
mencement exercises. These eight
students are as follows: Dewitt
Alexander. Miss Ruth Anderson,
Douglas Baldwin, Miss Julia Camp
bell, Miss Daphne Damon, Miss Eliza
beth Pratt, Farrant Turner, Tang
Leong Wong. .< +.
Following the old custom, these
eight students who received first
honor, submitted an essay to be de-
liyered at the commencement eXer-
cises The essays were carefully
judged and from the eight the five
best were chosen. The five hest were
those of Dewitt alexander, Miss Ruth
Anderson, Miss Julia Campbell, Miss
Daphne Damon and Tang Leong
Wong. -.
The last decision now alone remain
ed to be decided; that of choosing the
three best speakers. The question
was placed before number of compe-
tent judges and the three who were
accorded the final and greatest honor
were: Dewitt Alexander, Miss Julia
Campbell and Tang Leong Wong.
These three, at the commencement ex
ercises, will deliver the essays which
they wrote and which were passed
by the judges chosen.
At Punahou it is considered one of
the greatest honors which can be &C.
corded a student to be placed on the
commencement scholarship list and
to be one of the final chosen to de-
liver an essay at the exercises is the.
climax. To be accorded this honor
means hard WORK from the beginning
to end of the school year. 1t is not a
question of being the most popular
student but rather a survival Of the.
fittest' for it is only those who work
hard that receive the honor, and those
who do, reap their rewards, in this,
the greatest honor that can be. accord

/ The bills were passed at meeting
of the supervisors on March 10, 1t
was said in the auditors office, and

The record of the bids in the coun-
, ty clerks Office shows that the call

Has Had Other Contracts.
City and County Clerk Kalauokala-
nj this morning stated in answer to
a question that Cook has been bidding
on city coal contracts for many
! months and has been awarded con-
tracts previously.
The attention drawn to the Hardes-
ty case and the discovery that the
participation of public officials in city
contracts or jobs is not confined to
him has caused much speculation at
| the city hall as to how extensive
these dealings are.
1t appears that no notice has been
taken of the law enacted by the last
legislature under the terms of which
no public official can become pecu-
niarily interested in any way, direct
or indirect, in public contracts.
There was also some speculation
this morning as to whether or not. if
the county attorney holds that Har-
desty's employment on the Beckley
street paving job is in violation of
the law. the supervisor will resign,
as he is quoted as saying that he
must make living for his family and
to prohibit him from working on pub
lie jobs would practically prevent him
from plying his trade. IF
No Legal Opinion Yet. -.-,.
While waiting for charges to be
officially placed before him against
Supervisor Samuel c. Hardesty. who
has admitted being remuneratively
interested in city paving contract,
John W. Cathcart, city and county at
torney, is refraining from giving an
opinion on the case.
He has stated that as the matter
will undoubtedly come before him in
his official capacity as city attorney,
and as the facts presented to him
then will be of an official nature. a
statement at this time would be pre-
mature. II ....- ~
i Though he has not applied the Har-
desty facts to the existing law, it is
true that on hypothetical case. such
as where an official is engaged for
his personal profit in a city contract,
he states that the officer is not only
liable in damages up to $1,000, and i'm
prisonment, but in addition to that
would probably also suffer forfeiture
of office. -@.. ..>.~. ..@..s. o.. ....s..

Whitehouse Is Defended.

Whitehouse Is Defended.
Whitehouse was championed by
Mcclellan, who upbraided those of the
beard for attacking a man who was
laid up with an accident that pre-
vented him being there to defend him
self. H..
Although there was talk of the i'm
propriety of attacking man when
he was absent and could not defend
himself, nevertheless Achi was at
tackled while. he was absent, then
Whitehouse got his while he was alb
sent, and as Mcclellan finished in the
praises of Whitehouse, the mayor put
in his oar and agreed with. Mcclellan
that it was all wrong to denounce a
man when he was not there to defend
himself, and at once started in to
criticise Chief Thurston as being re-
sponsible for the big grading job at
Kaimuki, ThurstOn was. not present
either. ..."..
The discussion drifted to roads, and
a number of supervisors had few
words to say in the matter. Super
visor PlcheCo also had few words
to say along the same line. He
oEened his remarks with: "Mr. Nav
OF and gentlemen. our road depart
ment is rotten. as rotten as can be.
There is too much boozing going on
by those who should be attending to
business. We must see that the tax
payers money is applied to road work
End not wasted"
. Mcclellan replied that he did not
think that the road department was
rotten and that. it was doing more
work than ever before. At this point
