DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL BEGIN
PUBLIC CAREER WITH EVIDENCE
OF STRONG ALDERMANIC TIMBER
Alderman Onkey signazes Debut With Proposition to
Amend Administration Ordinance for Increased
Wages In Police and Fire Department So That
Rights of Union Labor Will Be Conserved

after DR.. Walter H. Brown is elected
health officer.
Alderman Remedy introduced a
resolution calling for the paving with
Warrenite Of Pine street. Wordin ave-
nue. and almost every other street in
that neighborhood except Spruce
street. It was referred to the COM
mittee on streets and sidewalks.
A recommendation from City At
torney William H. Comley, Jr., that
city clerk draw a check for $425 in
favor of DeForest & Klein and in pay
ment of damages to Bertha Herman
was adopted. The city attorney said
the woman had suffered severe in
juries in a fall due to a defective
sidewalk and had brought action
against the city in the superior court
She is willing to withdraw the action
on payment of the amount specified.
The petition Of Bertha M. Hurlock
to build over the line at Colorado
and Beechwood avenues, drew indig-
nant protest from property owners
and others in the neighborhood Col.
Charles L. Gaylord declared the pro-
posed building would be a detriment
to all property in the vicinity.
cit is an outrage, gentlemen. The
building is over the line already and
I trust you will not grant them an
inch more" he told the council.
Col. Gaylord said that Mr.. Hurlock
had not kept faith with him. He said
Mr.. HurIock had promised not to
build over the line and had then de-
lfberate1y broken that promise. John
Clark on behalf Of st. Georges P. E.
church also opposed the extension as
did B. L. Ashmun. No one appeared
in favor of it.
Attorney L. J. Finklestone appear
ed for Mrs. Jennie Nussenbatm and
Henry Harris who want a 12-foot
building line established on the east
side Of Main street from Federal
street to Charles street. Attorney
Finklestone said that Mrs. Nussen-
baum was building. an apartment
house there for II families. The city
engineers assistants had informed
her that there was a 12-foot building
line in the street. She had her build
ers keep the structure back to this
supposed line and has now discover
ed that there is no line there at all.
J. H. Splitter opposed the estab-
lishment Of the 12-foot building line
on the ground that the section is a
business, not a residential section, and
there is theatre in the area mention
ed which is built out to the line Of
the sidewalk. He said he knew sew
eral business blocks were to be erect
ed there and the street would not be
practical for business purposes if the
12-foot line was established.

Geographically the work has been
extended very little and has been

been established on Molokai and Ha-

From the viewpoint Of intensity
and efficiency. the work on these first
three islands has progressed ire
mendously."
Speaking of floods in the year
which ended June 80, Superintendent
Larrison's report says:
, 1.-The year has been an exceptional
one in regard to heavy rainfall,
storms and floods. The months Of
December and January were notable
for four or five heavy Kona storms
which were accompanied by the heavi.
est rainfall recorded since the u. s.
Weather Bureau was established in
the territory. -
These storms resulted in the loss
Of more than a score Of lives on Maui
and several deaths on the islands of
Kauai and Hawaii. Damage to crops
and structures to the extent of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars also re-
suited. A great amount of flood flow
data were obtained by this division
which will be very valuable IN future
estimates for bridges, culverts and
flume designs"

BRIeHTER CHILDREN

Children are probably brighter Today
than a generation ago-butare they
stronger! That's a grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make US wonder
If they will ever grow into robust,
healthy men and women.
II your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private

fits lungs and strengthens the system.

opportunity for service in the wide

Good Progress Made; Flood
Figures Also Secured

Investigation of waters owned by
the Territory Of Hawaii. with view
toward using the data obtained in
making equitable renewals or new
leases Of government land, has been
carried on during the year with good
success, and has proven the fallacy
of previous methods used in fixing
annual water and land rentals, &C
cording to the annual report Of Ter
ritoriaI photographer G. K. Larrison,
made to the board Of agriculture and
forestry at its meeting Friday.
MANY water licenses and land
leases" says the report in part, in
yolving comparatively large supplies
of government water, will terminate
within the next few years. and equit-
able renewals or new licenses or
leases are very much dependent on
the total quantities and seasonal vari-
atoms of these quantities Of the water
available under these licenses and
leases. .-.*. ....
The years Of patient effort which
have been expended by this organiza-
ton in collecting hydrometric data,
have furnished very. interesting and
fairly reliable data when these are
compared with the annual fees and
rentals paid under existing licenses
and leases.
THESE data are demonstrating the
fallacy Of the previous methods used
in fixing annual water and land rent
ais under old licenses and leases, and,
although the available records are
still very meagre and not what are
desired. these are sufficient to show
the value OF the work being done in
this line. and the necessity for con-

NO CONVICT LABOR

Prison labor should never be allow.
ed to compete with citizen labor and
deprive the latter OF its legitimate
chance OF earning living. Road
work performed by prison gangs just
prevents an equal number of citizen
laborers from doing the work per-
formed by the conyicts. In the same
way free labor in any industrial line
is injured when convict labor in the
tails takes up the manufacture CT
articles which, owing to the fact that
the prisoners get no wages, can be
sold at a much lower price In competi-
ton with the products of the free
man who must be paid living wage
for his work. The system is wrong,
end convicts should be employed upon
nothing but the manufacture Of arti-
cles that can be used within the walls
of the jail, or else upon needed i'm
provements within the confines OF
their temporary home. Even then the
convict slaps at the free labor.
Then, when IL comes to conyicts OF
the worst type being allowed out to
work" on roads, the objection ,nct
only arises through the prison labor
depriving the free citizen Of job. but
also through the danger to the COM
munity where the Jail birds are allow
