While Supervisors woltcr, Hsrdesty,
Pacheeo and Markham report them,
selves as searching the highways, by
ways and hedges for an engineer to
al the place made vacant by the dis.
missal Of County Engineer wbitehouse,
His Honor, Mayor Form, has cut the
GDrdihn knot and came through yester.
day with aisolption Of this yexed ques
ton His Honor Il tired Of bluiiing
and has blurted out the real truth.
What y the use Pachcco aud Woltcr
make al this noise about try 70 find
one engineer on the Demoklaka ranks,
said Hizzoner, IS be gracefully Leaned
his manly form against the Polished
rail Of the Union Grill 81 beea think
about this thing for some days and
then decide that we don't need any
engineer at all ] don't like to said
anything about this thing until 1 filst
sec Willie Miles. and after tell him
eli about II he says, Go ahead joe,
this Is one rood idea of yours and II
you can make the board think 50 too
We will Ell have jobs again next year
Well, that make me feel pretty good,
fftt""e~ HA"NIo ~ ~ Ff'ac ~ -"
vice, bnf TO make more sure ring upI
Bert RiVenburg at Kapiolani Park and
ask him too. RivenBnrg is not Ike
Willie, though, and after explain this
business to him he saysi You more
better cut that stun ont Joe. You are
IN bad now and this will only make
things more worse Then he hang up
the telephone quick, like anything, ana
start for town. Well, don't care what
he say. This is my idea and / am going
70 put II through with Wolter's ana
Pacheco's kokua.
What use TO have engineer any
howl Cut that job out and let me
build roads. know how. OF course
engineers Is good thing TO bnild Pan
anna Canals and run steam roller, hat
We don't need them to build roads
An they do u look through q telescope
and sec II the road Is straight. What
nee Is, thatl / know where Ill the
roads ore and don't need no telescope
to Gnd them. Turn over this road fund
money 20 me and let me hire all The
men want and let me pick out the
lunas. / want no Kind of lunas but
good lunas; men like Bill Olepau, Jack
kalakielo, Steven Gnmpher, Ciarencs
PriDQle and other strong men who can
work like anything Twill show ybu
how 10 make roads, and everybody will
have full dinner pals until election
time. 81
How am ] going TO build bridgess
That's easy; All you've got to do is to
20 down to Lucas Mill and hire the carr
penters you want IL Is carpenters that
bnild bridges, not engineers.
ttThey get another foolish thing, too,
in this engineer bnsipess- They got two
or three clerks In the Office that do moth
ing else but figure up how much each
job cost. That is ono fool piece Of bust
hess. What's the use to figure up on a.
job after the money is gone. If the
money be spent, that's pau--no use
talking or worry about 1t. ~
~ boon watch them make roads for
q long time, and IL got the right kind
Of men and the right kind Of lunas !
can make plenty of roads and l won't
work tho men hard like anything the
way Whitehouse do and make them mad
at me like they are at him. like to
make one bet that If Whitehouse run
for Office al Hawaiians will not vote
for him, because be is all the time mako
the men work hard
f'Just try me once on this road bust
ness and cnt out engineers except on
steam rollers and can save the county
the salary they been pay Wbitehonse. !"
Having unbosomed himself Of this,
His Honor jumped into his automobile
and sped toward Kalihi to impart the
result of his deliberations to number
Of dissatisfied and hungry voters in
that district.
