CITY DADS CHASTISE
NAUGHTY DEPARTMENT
By Altman

On a casual appraisement of
$500 expense for the job. the de-
partment started laying wires.
and found later that the job had
cost $4,000 more than had been
estimated. The city is out that
much, simply because no investi-
cation was made.
BY the new ordinance, the
council must authorize all new
work of any department, and the
controller cannot issue any pay
warrants on jobs unless the au-
thorizaztion has been made.

A gentle slap in the face was
administered by the city council
to the light department. today,
when an. ordinance was passed
demanding that no future city
improvements, extensions or new
work shall be started without au-
thoriZation of the commission.
The ordinance was provoked by
the light departments recent eX-
perience in extending electric
light service to Lemons Beach,
on petition of former Chief of
Police LOOMS.

Under the present territorial law,
the city is authorized TO issue county

two and one-half per centum of the
assessed value Of the property in such

With HonOlulu's assessed valuation
at $4,000, 600. the city can issue bonds
up to $2,250,0UJ, but in any one cal
endar year can issue bonds for not
more than $450,000. Inasmuch as the
city has not a dollar of such bonded
Indebtedness now, the mayor, believes
the financial strings imposed by law
will not prevent carrying out the plan
for an issue sufficient to look after
the belt roads and the city hall,
though the entire amount of indebted
ness cannot be incurred at once.
Before reaching any decision, the
mayor expects that he and other city
officials will place the problem before
the people at series of public meet
ings. The Chamber of Commerce will
be asked to examine the financial sit.

bond issue is justified. Other public

similarly asked for opinion, and it is
probable that the mayor and others of
the city officials will inaugurate more
or less of public speaking campaign
even before the special election is au-
thorized, if it should be authorized
The plan is TO acquaint the voters
with the situation thoroughly so that
they can decide for themselves wheth-
