Scrappinq; Want Harmony
in Public Office
OUTGOING FEATHERS"
" CLEAN UP THE SLATE
After Business is Disposed Of,
Mayor Fern Calls for Fare
well Speeches

Failures of this outgoing board of
supervisors, If there have been any.
have been due to the differences be-
tween its individual members. That
unqGestionably is the explanation of
our failure of reelection.
The people want harmony: they
are tired OF scrapping. In this as in
past boards there has been too much
.back-biting, too much bitterness, petty
Satreds and personal grudses.
These, believe, we're the Difficult
ties that caused the political downfall
OF this board. My personal message
to the incoming board is: Take this
lesson to heart. | wish nothing but
success to our Successors, and | ad-
wise them to take this. lesson from
the past and enter upon the RESPONSE
bilities of public office harmoniously." :"
Such was the frank statement of
NJ. c. Pacheco at the final session Of
the retiring board Of supervisors just
before noon today. He expressed con,
fidence in city and county government,
handled by the people; declared the
test of self-government has proven
satisfactory and said that if failures
or weaknesses have developed along
certain lines that cannot be blamed
upon the electors nor upon the system
of self-government, but to individual
differences which arose between the
mer chosen by the people to serve
them His warning to the incoming
body against the danger Of discord in
the fulfilment of public or political po-
icy was impressive, perhaps the most
notable feature of the mornings pro-
ceedings which came to the climax
at noon with the retirement of the
Democratic board and the convening
of the new Republican county organi-
zation.

recommendations CT Water Engineer

thousands of dollars annually. He
stated that it is impossible for the
department to secure meters that Will
not wear out rapidly and the accounts
CT the department for the past three
months show that III places where a
large amount of fiew had previously
been recorded, this quarter shows
several accounts where nothing is
due to the county and many others
where small amounts ranging from 10
cents to 81 are owing. In most of
these places, Wall stated. the meters
recorded large amounts when first in

GARRISON NOT

Secretary OF War Declines to
Interfere With Employment

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MOVE MEETS A CHECK
Cabinet Officers Ruling Fol-
lows Lines of Col. Cheat
hams Statement

CAsscciated Press by Fed. Wireless
WASHINGTON, D. -, Jan. 4.-See-
retary Of War Garrison declines to
interfere with the employment Of Jap
aaese at SehofieId Barracks. He says
ne lacks legal authority to prevent
such employment
The action CT Secretary Garrison as
set forth in the above despatch strikes
a hard blow at the movement inaugu-
rated by the Honolulu Chamber OF
Commerce some months ago To re-
strict the awarding OF federal contratS
so that only citizens would be eligible.
Not only army work at Schofield Bar
racks, but federal work OF all sorts
was included, in aetiOn &of the local
chamber which retained former ts6y-
eruor FTeaT. thea IN Washington. to
Put the matter before army and navy
heads. and ascertain why federal leon.
tracts could not be limited to citizen
labor. .. a
The matter was at first brought TO
the attention Of the chamber last July
in the. report Of the legislation com
mittee OF that body, and at subsequent
meetings 1t came up for more or less
discussion.
The attitude of army and navy of.
cials here has been an entirely open
one. The bidding has been free to all
according to law. and In nearly every
instance the bids of Japanese eontrae;,
tors have been lower than those OF
the citizen concerns. Nest OF the
alien bidders have been perfectly re-
sponsible, with good business, records
behind them, and there has been no
reason to shut them out. The natter
came to head when the big contract
for the Fort Shafter hospital exten-
sion went to japanese.
Lieut.-col. B. Frank Cheatham, de-
partment quartermaster, made the
statement when the matter OF the hos-
pftal contract came up that there was
no law restricting the bidding to cltf-
zens, and that in army work up to
that time Japanese bidders had i'm
many instances been far lower In their
figures than any ether contractors.
He said that the same assurance for
faithful performance of contract worn,
was required of all, and that without
special instructions from the war de-
partment no distinction could be
made in favor of citizen contractors
and citizen labor.
