SERVICE SUITS
THE BIG ISLAND

| According to information which
has been given out by Governor
Pinkham, J. N. s. Williams, acting
chairman of the Public Utilities Com
mission, who has been visiting on Ha-
waii for the past several weeks, thus
far has received no complaints from
residents of the Big Island regarding
the service and business of the Inter
Island Steam Navigation Company.
The absence of such complaints, said
Commissioner A. J. Gignoux this
morning, will serve to bring the utili-
ty commissions investigation of the
company to a speedy end and probab-
ly hasten the appointment of a new
commission chairman.
Aside from looking after personal
business, Mr.. Williams went to Hilo
to receive complaints, if any, from
Hawaii residents against the steam
ship company, and to conduct hear
ings of those complaints on the
ground. While on Hawaii recently,
the governor saw Mr.. Williams and
was informed that. thus far. no COM
plants have been forthcoming. Mr..
Williams is expected to return to Ho-
nolulu Wednesday, and shortly after
his arrival here the final hearing in
the Investigation will be conducted.
One or two items of procedure On the
program arranged by former Chair
man e. A. Mott-Smith remain to be
carried out. Following the hearing,
q report of the proceedings will be
drafted and a copy submitted to the
governor for his approval. -.
1t is now believed thai Governor
Pinkham will appoint a new chair.
man after the close of the Inter.
Island investigation, he having init.
mated as much to the commission.
Just who the governor has in mind
for the craftsmanship Is not known
Several applications for the position
have been flied with him. Following
the appointment of chairman, the
commission will commence another
investigation. Commissioner Gig
noux states that just what corpora.
ton or concern will be investigated
will depend largely upon the policy
adopted by the new commission head.
