OVERSEER USED
COUNTY MULES,
LOSES HIS JOB
Maui Board of Supervisors Re-
fuse to Grant Permit for
Sunday Movies

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
WAILUKU, July 10.-One of the
most important matters that came be-
fore the meeting of the Maui board
of supervisors Thursday was the re-
port of the special investigating COM
mittee which looked into the state of
affairs on Molokai whittier Chairman
S. E. Kalama, Supervisors Pail and
Drummond had been sent to investi-
gate the charges against r. H. Hitch
cock. until lately district overseer Of
Molokai.
The committee reported in recon-
mendation that Mr. Hitchcock be not
reinstated. This seemed to fully con-
firm the action OF the former board
in its decision that Mr.. Hitchcock
should be dismissed because he had
used county mules that had been in
his charge for work on his own farm.
Supervisor Uahinui opposed the mo-
ton, but It carried In spite of his op.
position.
The motion picture house at Lahai
ma, run under the direction of George
Freeland, manager, applied for per.
mission to operate on Sunday even
ings. This was the first application
for Sunday shows that has come be-
fore the new board of supervisors.
The board voted not to grant the pc
tition. In commenting upon the ac-
ton of the board members remarked
that it was not the duty of the super
yisors to create public sentiment on
any matter of public concern, but that
the duty of the board was purely to-
abide by what the general sentiment
of q community as whole might be.
1t was the general opinion of the
board that Maui as a community did
not want to open the motion picture
houses on Sunday.

METERS REDUCE
COST OF Living
in OREGON CITY

Water bills for some of the largest
and handsomest residences of Port
land, surrounded by lawns and gar
dens. are much less since meters were
installed on the service connection
than before when the owners of the
premises were paying on flat rate
basis, according to records in the
water bureau, says the Telegram OF
Portland, Oregon
Another interesting feature in the
same connection is that the owners of
some of these premises who are, now
paying less for water through a
meter than before at a flat rate are
among those who are making big
howl against the installation of me-
tiers and have signed the meter ordi-
nance referendum. If these same
property owners were paying for
water on a flat rate charge their
bills, in some instances, would be
nearly doubled.
The figures disproye assertions
meter opponents have been making
that lawns and gardens will die and
that unsanitary conditions will pre-
vail, because consumers will curtail
the use of water If it is measured.
To the contrary it shows that they
can use less water and keep their
lawns and gardens in a far better
condition for less money than il they
permitted thousands Of gallons daily
to run to waste which they would do
If they were paying for water on a
flat rate basis They use just such
amount of water as is needed and no
more and they pay for what they
use. From a sanitary standpoint,
these premises are in first class con-
dition, and there is no indication that
the residents of the premises have
curtailed the use of their bathtubs
as the meter opponents would lead
people to believe would be the case
should meters be installed.
