Here is what city officials present
at the meeting have to say of it:

has an idea now of what the commu-
nifty, or at least that part of it rep

crease in taxes, that bonds should be
issued for the extension of the water
and sewer systems and the purchase
and improvement of the parks q

izations know little bit more about
municipal affairs now, l believe

interest displayed last night.
Ben Hollinger, supervisor: Every

can be induced to make any changes
in the tax laws. The members from
the other islands consistently refuse
to give Oahu anything it wants.
