Quite so. It is as open as the day.
That is why it has been mentioned as

Sweetwater took up the sheet Mr..
Gryce pushed towards him and re-read
these lines:

Sweetwater's eyes slowly rose till
they rested on Mr.. Gryce's face: "Fll
cling to the thread you've given me.
I'll work myself through the laby.

Mr.. Gryce smiled: but there was
more age, wisdom and sympathy for
youthful enthusiasm in that smile than
there was confidence or hope.

his kindness, his courage and his
quick mind. The Works had never
produced a man of such varied capa-
bilities and all round sympathies. To
have him for manager meant the
greatest good which could befall this
little community.
His rise had been rapid. He had
come from the east three years be-
fore, new to the work. Now, he was
the one man there. OF his relation

water could see, though no actual ex-

that there was but one expectation

uncommon beauty and sweetness they
all seemed fully alive. And Sweet

wondered, at the gulf frequently ex.

City and County Government is the

ty must take an active and intelligent
interest in it. If they do. it will

the real sense in which that term

The time is now ripe when the city
and county should control matters
that are essentially city and county
matters such as water-works, sanitary
matters, sewers and schools and must
control it's own sources. Of revenue.
The Importance of this will grow
as this city and county become more
and more fortified and garrisoned
army and navy post, and the need
of cooperation in many matters, such
for instance as roads, police, educa-
tional and health matters, becomes
more essential and necessary. For
cooperation between two authorities
is much easier than among three,
which will be necessary it the pres

A City Hall
Honolulu is a capital city. 1t is
the first American city and American
outpost reached from the Orient. 1t
cannot long continue to house its city
offices in commercial building. A
suitable city hall is something for
which the city and county govern
ment should begin at once to mature
plans. suitable site should be pro-
vided from the publicly owned lands,
and means should be found to pro-
vide for the cost of such building.
Small Parks And Squares.
The plan for providing small parks
and squares as Fairgrounds for the
children, and breathing places for the
community, should be extended SO
tfat every part of the city would have
p' Enc grounds of this kind for the

city grows these will become more

time harder and harder to get. For

knew what had been done by this
board the past two years. With all

Farewell to Old Board.
With the Hawaiian band blaring
out its farewell, the members of the
old board Of supervisors passed out
of existence at noon today and the
new Eoard reigned in its stead. Fri
or. to the installation of the new
board, the old one wound up its bust
ness. 1t was shortly after ten o'clock
when the mayor entered the assem-
bly, room and opened the last meet
ing of the expiring body. Every one
WAS in his seat. Low was smiling,
Mcclellan had a broad grin on his
face and Murray appeared highly
pleased with the prospect of release
from his duties as city father. Amana
and Arnold were apparently little
nervous, and Kruger maintained his
familiar scowl at all the world. The
world at large was well represented
in the assembly room. Every chair
yIFho nhn RI
the county attorney, entered he had
to take a seat with the newspaper
men. In the halls big crowd of
hopeful workers for the Democratic
party peeped and chirped like so
many hungry birds eager to be fed.
Out in the street, on both sides, the
crowd was packed densely and the
stairs leading up to the city Offices
were so damned that passage was
almost impossible.
Override Mayors Veto.
The dying board had little to at
tend to at its last session, beyond
overriding the mayors veto of the
plumbing ordinance. When the time
came for this, Mcclellan, the only
Democratic member of the board and
the only one reelected, rose and put
the motion. In speaking Of the ordi-
nance, Mcclellan said that he for one
is convinced that, as in all other bills
passed. by the present board, the
plumbing ordinance is a measure that
will lie for the good of the city and
county. He asserted that it is but a
slight change from the law now in
force, and that all OF the changes
provided for are for the best inter-
ests1 of the community. His motion
was seconded by Supervisor Murray.
When the vote came there was a
surprise. Supervisor Low, believed
to have been in favor Of the bill, vot-
ed for the mayor and against the
measure. The vote stood at six for
and one against the measure and it
was carried over his honor's veto.
Other business transacted by the
board consisted entirely of paying
old bills, and the awarding of con-
tracts for the construction of the fire
station at ,tIaimuki. which last was
