The man employed by the Outdoor
Circle Is doing excellent work on Ka-

trees in splendid condition, also the
oleanders. A blight has been affect
ing them and as soon as the Carnival
is over the oleanders are to be cut
back to make the growth stronger and
the blooms more plentiful The circle
is pleased at the already large num-
Der of comments of approval since
this work started The prisoners have
planted 200 coconut trees since De-
cember l and more are ready to be
put In wherever needed. Il
1t is the intention of the circle to
have Kalakaua avenue in as perfect
shape as possible for Carnival week
and with the assistance the organiza-
tion is sure of from the mayor, the SUI
pervisors, High Sheriff Jarrett, and
Jailer Fern much will be accom-
plished
Planting of mahogany trees is being
held up as the prisoners are being
used at Kapiolani park polo grounds
to do some necessary work for Car
nival week. They will then put in tbs
balance of mahogany trees in the Ka-
lakaua avenue parking. The guards
for the trees are finished and were
made under the direction Of Jailer
Fern.
Governor Pinkham and Sheriff Jar.
ret have arranged for the circle to
have six prisoners with luna to
work in designated places and parks.
The prisoners to be used are long
term men. The governor is rendering
great help to the circle. Much has
been accomplished, and yet much re.
mains to be done. 1t Is the hope or
the circle to add 200 new members
during the months Of January and
February. The circle is especially de-
sirous of having the army and navy
help in this work.

EDITOR
EXPERT VS.. LAYMAN.

In the various moves and maneuverlngs by
the supervisors, the position of city engineer
has steadily declined in prestige and import
ance 1t has become more and more subordi-
nate to the will, the wishes and the whims of
various boards, committees, factions and i'm
lpromptu policies. r. =.".
! As consequence, the board is prolific in
ideas and suggestions upon technical matters
which require the decision of admitted experts
but which too often are determined by nom
experts. 1t is good deal matter of chance
whether under such conditions the board IS
policies with regard to public improvements
and construction are successful
The supervisors explanation is that they
have no confidence in the city engineer-at
least that is the explanation of the element
which talks of ousting him and has succeeded
in diminishing the salary and Importance of
the position. 10.
Under the present charter and form OF gov
eminent, the Star Bulletin believes it is a mis-
take to reduce the city engineers position to
one so subordinate that his technical knowl-
edge and experience are given NO latitude for
use To make the city engineers advice of no
weight as against the opinions of committees
appears to be serious mistake in government
method.
The supervisors elected under the present
charter must necessarily be men of other bust
ness than public business. The salary is so
small that only men of independent means can
devote their entire time to the duties OF the
office, and such men have not been forthcom-
ing and probably will not be so long as the
community is content to tolerate a municipal
government which encourages patronage poll
tics and endeavors to create political machine.
Supervisors chosen under the present char
ter will seldom be experts in engineering or
construction of any sort They will
be laymen, devoting probably not more than
half their time to the duties of their office
They should be able to rely-and should
rely-upon trained engineers and experts in
ether lines. ..s S.
If their engineers cannot be relied upon, the
way to secure efficiency is not to retain these
employees, reduce their jurisdiction and gen.
orally ignore their advice, but to get rid of
them.
The building of Honolulu requires trained
brains and hands as well as public spirit md
honesty of purpose. Experts who will deliver
the goods are worth good salaries.
