day afternoon. In part he said
The Hawaiian-Japanese or the Jap
anese subjects in this country who
are making their homes here under
American protection must choose
their standing and their future. II
they cannot follow the Western civ
ilizaIion they must choose the East.
ern. II they want 20 be true American
citizens they must assimilate from
the very foundation. as only funda-
mental assimilation can make the
true American citizen.
Japanese in this country now are
neither Japanese nor Hawaiian nor
American in their spirits and minds.
Their present condition is more like
that of Hawaiisns, the natural force
of Hawaii may remodel them, but they
are far from being Americanized II
they do not try to be true Americans
or lone Japanese In the future, no
one can tell what that future will be.
Their future is in darkness and will
remain so for two or three genera.

The question OF Americanizing the
Japanese in this country depends upon

AUTO PLATE bid
MUCH DISCUSSED
BY SUPERVISORS

AT the meeting of the supervisors
held Tuesday night It was voted to
give the bid for automobile and
motorcycle plates to Richard j.
Blake. the lowest bidder, although it
looked for time as If all the bids
would be rejected and new ones asked
for specifying the exact kind of plates
to be furnished.
Arnold raised the question that az
a specified kind of plate had NOT been
requested, the BIDS should be rejected
and the matter referred to the police
committee with instructions to prepare
new specifications.
Ben Hollinger broke in here with
the cry of unfair, declaring that as
the bids had already been opened
each bidder knew the price of the
other.
7 The other members had been lean.
ing towards Arnold's views. but i'm.
mediately sided with Hollinger and
the bid Of Blake was accepted.
Blake offered to supply the police
department with 1000 automobile IL
cense plates and 100 for motorcycles
for the flat model for S1405 and for
the embossed plates 1885,.

Explains Adverse Vote BY
Statement Much Water and
Sewer Work Can Wait

Supervisor Robert Horner's objec
tions TO the proposed bond issue to be
submitted to election Of the people
on November are set forth in full in
the following communication to the
Star Bulletin, which he read at the
beard of supervisors meeting last
night as his formal statement. He
was the only objector to the plan OF
bond issue election on November Z,
the date Of the general election:
Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 4, 1916, !
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: There seems considerable mis-
understanding. through misinforma-
ton. probably not intentional, but mis-
information Just the same, and a
great many of the people do not seem
TO know the true condition OF affairs.
People in general seem to think
that we should call bond issue for
the water and sewers, parks, etc.1 and
nothing for the roads. i have felt
from the start that the water and
sewer works were not in such bad
shape tI have so stated on several oc-
casions), and that II would not take mp
into the hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars to put them into shape before the
improvement act or the permanent
Improvement Of the roads came alonS.
! wish to say that the water and
sewer departments Of the city and
county OF Honolulu are nearly two full
years ahead of the building of perma.
nent or concrete roads.
My idea from the start was a call
for an issue Of bonds so the water and
sewer departments would have money
so they could be kept ahead Of Tim.
mediately ahead of the building OF
permanent roads. | never felt for a
moment that Il was the wish or the
idea of the people to call for bond
issue for the extension Of either the
water or sewers where IL was not i'm
mediately needed. Certainly the ex.
tension OF the sewer works in the
Waikiki district is not Immediately or
urgently needed at this time. That
can be cared for at some later date.
And feel the same way about the
filtration plant up Nuuanu Valley
That also can be cared for at some
later date. The filtration plant is
needed, but again, is it suffi
GENTLY or urgently needed at this
timer
I'll saw. a.atatement IN the papeFe-
that the water department has deliy
cred 17.000.O00 gallons of water daily
for the city's consumption. This Is

PARK FOR PUBLIC

That Liliuokalani gardens in Nuuanu
Valley are to become a public park Is
now assured, for Tuesday night the
supervisors accepted the park as q
gift from the Civic Federation.
The federation offered to give the
park if the city would spend $500 in
Improvement In a former offer the
Improvement had to be. made within a
year and it was opposed. Last night,
however, through J. M. McChesney,
the offer was renewed, but with the
proyiso that the $4,000 would only have
to be spent when available. z
Arnold had objected to the gift in
the first place, because, he slid, the
money was noi available this year, but
now the city can take a number Of
years to construct the permanent i'm.
provements demanded. This amount
is for Improvement, only and not for
general upkeep. -, =

Board of Supervisors ind0rseS
Plan for $3.50, 900 and Call
wiz Now Issue

Call for "plebiscite' or vote to de-
term:ne questions as to whether muni-
ciral bends Tor various purposes shall
or shall not issue, was made by the
hoard Of Supervisors at their meeting
last night. Il will be held in connec-
ton With the general election. No
vember {.
Several of the supervisors said
they were not exactly satisfied with
the apportionment of monies in the
plan adopted. which totals $4S0,00O,
PARTICULARLY in regard to the filtration
plant. sewers and parks, but would
stand back of it as whole as It
seemed the best offered at the pres
crt time.
In defense of the filtration plant
and sewer bonds Logan declared that
scientists the world over had found
that artesian water is not the purist
while ground water is, and that the
expense of taking the artesian water
which the utility company is dumping
into the bay would be too great THE
people of Honolulu cannot have too
much pure water" he said, "particu-
larly In. the years TO come, and 1t
should be attended to Immediately.
The matter of pure water is a neces-
sity, and next year we can ask for fur
Their money for improvements which
are not at this time pressing.
Hollinger said that sewers at Wal
kiki were greatly needed
Arnold also said that he believed
too much money had been set aside
for these departments and they still
figure on getting their pro rata share
of the cash basis fund of $4,000
which it is expected the next legisla'
ture will release to the city.
He was particularly against the
spending of $4,000 for a pavilion at
Kapiolani park. He maintained the
money could be used to much bet
ter advantage in other forms of park
The proclamation must be adver-
tised for so days and was completed
Tuesday by Assistant Attorney Cristy.
Whether the bond issue will have
the approval of the chamber of com
merce is not known. The supervisors
sent a letter asking them to recon-
mend the apportionment of the $780,
600 and requested them to indorse It.
In reply a letter signed by Raymond
c. Brown was received which stated
that the chamber of commerce ia
vored the general plan OF increasing

quite true, but you must remember
that there.w be only about 5000 ,0oo
gallons of this that will in any way
be affected by the installation OF the
filtration plant In Nuuanu Valley al
a cost OF $4,000. -.
II the people think that the bet
road is Of moro Importance than the
district Of Honolulu, then the proposed
Improvement from the foot of the Pail
TO Pualoa Point is a good one, but il
looks to me that il is something like
completing, short piece OF road
around the halfway house on the Tan
tslus road and then jumping up some
where to the top of the mountain and
making another short stretch. Con
fine the bond issue to the district OF
Honolulu. Here is the center of bust.
ness, center Of traffic and the center
OF population. and it is here that the
first consideration along the improve.
ment line should be given E+
Ny suggestions would be about as
follows:
The sum of $4,000 for water in the
Puunui district, to be used immc.
diately ahead Of the frontage improve.
ment that will soon be taken up in
that district. The sewer for that i'm.
provement is already installed. 49,
The sum of $4,000 for the water
works along Kalakaua avenue, to be-
installed just ahead Of the permanent
Improvement to be temporarily car
rfed out by the city and county until
the bond money Is available.
The sum of $4,000 for water along
Beretania street. from Alapai street
to the intersection of King street ex.
tension -
The sum of S3o, 900 to complete the
metering Of the business section of the

The sum of $S7S5 for water on Lilihs.

The sum of $3.50, 900, tied up in filtra-
