flee. lata. RJIII Ahef investigation
- lid in Mayor Lanes Of
Z, lace yesterday afternoon. The
loan board has taken no direct action
towards putting the project through
and Forbes reply to a question put
by Supervisor Daniel Logan came as
a surprise To most OF those present.
The attitude Of the commission had
not been announced before.
A committee Of engineers was APP
pointed at the last meeting of the loan
fund commission TO investigate the
condition lof the dam OF No. reser-
voir, into which Hillebrand waters
would be diverted, and determine
whether or not It would be safe to
impound more water in the reservoir.
James T. Taylor Is q member Of
this committee. He was in charge of
the construction OF the dam al one
time. He lives In the path OF any
water that might be liberated from
the dam and owns property there. He
was present at the meeting yester~
day and during the discussion, which
had grown somewhat general, he de-
clared that It was a waste OF time for
the committee TO put in work on the
dam. There is absolutely no question
as to it's safety. he said. Il would
be one Of the heaviest sufferers II
II should ever break, but ] am not at
all worried"
The meeting yesterday was called
TO discuss the water commissions re-
quest Tor an additional $4,000 TO COM
plete its work Of ascertaining the
available water supply for Honolulu.
The finance committee heard its ar
gument and took the matter under
consideration.
A report Of the water commission,
giving a summary of the work it has
done. WAS read at the meeting. It's
Substance Was published in the Star
Bulletin when it was forwarded to
the supervisors last week.

A Soft Place to Liaht Upon.

A Democratic congressman proposes
that all the clerks. stenographers and
messengers who are now serving the
committees Of Congress shall be elisi-
BILE for appointment under the ciassi-
fed service, without examination. This
is a measure Of preparedness.
The next election will result in
Republican majority in Congress and
all these employees will be of the gov
ernment payroll. In consequence. this
Democratic statesman seeks to sAxe
ready soft place for them to light
upon. The proposal speaks in stem
torian tones of Democratic despair.
No one knows quite 50 well az the
Democratic ,egislato Al Washington
that the country is about to dispense
I with their services They would like.
we do not doubt. to make as comforta- .
lie provision for themselves as is pro-
posed for their clerks. This. however

Hotels Sick Of Booze.

\ we'll known organization was ar
ranging for convention dates and went
to one Of the largest and newest of
New York's great hotels. The COM
mittee said to the manager that they
would get very little patronage for
the bar from their people attending
the convention. The hotel manager
then remarked:
You have often heard it said that
the large hotels depended mainly on
their bars for profits. This is no
i,nger true. Five years ago it was
he general thing for business men TO
drink at the bar and no great trans
action was put over without drinks
all around. Now not even a base bal1
transaction has the accompaniment Of
wet goods. Formerly frequently

The emblem of the day, outside TINS
conpested center where there Is no
earth but what is held down by bullo-
inps. is the spade-the homely, use1ul
tool that stirs in its corner in the Gel
lar and is restless for the eager mana
OF the suburbanite.
MANY there are, men Of various oc-
cupations, running through the Whoie
gamut of likes and dislikes in their es-
timation Of pleasure. but in complete
unison in these days of the opening OF
spring, their minds set upon their gar
dens, hurrying home from work these
March days to snatch the spade from
exile and thrust it into the earth.
It is this that marks the real new
wear for the man who is fortunate
enough to have home with garden

the winter of freezing and thawing,
that marks the beginning Of things

Of the flowers that gladden. the senses
