Of the evident lack of preparation on
this bill, ! move that it go over for
consideration until Thursday"
/ This motion was carried
! This measure was not adopted be-
tfore Senator's Coke, Wirtz and Iaukea
had had their say regarding it. laukea
wanted to know whether the bin gave
| the Mayor the power TO dismiss APP
pointees OF the board, and was, told
! that it does not. Senator Wirtz de-
clared that the measure is mot a
| party one by any means, but is in
tended to do away with the wrang-
ling and friction between the mayor
and the board, so much in evidence
| last year." He briefly outlined the
history of the last board and its fight
with the mayor over appointments
and asserted that action should be
taken to forever prevent the recur
renee of such friction Senator Coke
spoke in behalf of the Bill, declaring
that the question was one of wise
| Legislation, and not of personality of
| the men who might happen to be hold
| ing office at this or that time"
