Gayit favored and which Wood oppos-

EDITOR

began when the board took office and ran
through two years of administration like weak
flaw in sound metal. And already there are evi-
dences Of a factional fight on the present board
As to the merits Of that fight the public has lit
tie means of Judging. But the people know that
squabbling over the discharge of a clerk is al
lowed to consume the valuable time of the whole
beard sitting in session; that the mayor and GER
tain members appear leagued against certain
other members to Gust the city engineer; that
there is partisan division.
Honolulu needs unity of action, needs har
mony needs combined effort on the board, for
progress cannot be achieved any other way. The
city's business is bound to suffer with a board
divided against itself. The city's welfare is
bound to be sacrificed when PERSONAL fractional
pickering enters the city hall.
The duty of the supervisors is bigger than
faction, bigger than party. They are entrusted
with the money of the taxpayer, with the safety,
the protection, the comfort of the family, with
the prosperity of the city.
Is it too much to ask of the supervisors that
they settle their factional fights in committee or
among themselves and devote the time owned
by the taxpayers to sincere and wholehearted
work fer the welfare of Honolulu?
The people of this city did not object when the
legislature put these many and important pow
crs in the hands of the supervisors. But they will
object if this board cypples its usefulness, as did
the last board, for the display of personal and
fractional enmity.
If the quarrelers on the board cease fussing
and direct their energies to handling the affairs
of Honolulu in the way they should be handled,
there will not be lacking cordial appreciation on
the part of Honolulus people.
