New Board, However, Sane
tons Increase of S1785
in City Salaries

An increase Of S17SS in salaries and
for the maintenance and upkeep OF
the various city departments, was the
first step taken by the new board OF
supervisors to fix the appropriation
bill for the first three months OF its
term. At the meeting Tuesday night
the bill passed on first reading but
as there are several changes to be
made, it was not ordered to print.
The total of the appropriation bill
as passed is $272,506.1l, OF which
$199,90O comes out OF the general
fund and the balance'is to be drawn
against the permanent Improvement
fund, special road taxes and the water
and sewer departments.
The salary increases total $500.
while the decreases are $1015. There
is also a further decrease Of $500
for election expenses which was
placed in the previous bill but as It is
in the nature of a special appropria-
ton and only occurs every two years
it can hardly be considered in the
salary increases.
The departments which received in
creases are the attorneys office, $12C,

REPUBLICANS rule BOARD; dem.
twain PROTEST BUT MAKE NO SPLIT
G. O. P. Keeps Firm Hold on Committees - Mcclellan ant
Pee Do Not Garry Fight Into Routine Business, and ST.
perisorS Get Down to Work

In several cases Petrie voted with
the majority, 1t is believed. in order
that he could later ask for a recon
sideration on any matter, il it seems
desirable.
Petrie's Request Granted
Hollinger introduced the rules for
the board. Petrie stated that
neither Mcclellan nor he had seen
them, and his request for delay OH
their passage was granted, except as
to the section appointing the stand
ing committees, and this was passed
to facilitate the transaction OF bust
ness
1t did not pass, however, without
opposition on the part OF the two Dem
ocrats as by it the appointing power
is taken away from the mayor and
given to the board. Action taken re-
suited in the number Of committees
being reduced from seven to five with
neither OF the Bourbons given a chair
manship.
Speaking against this move Petrie
said:
Il don't like to be continually kick
ing but can't see why these changes
should be made. l may be wrong but
the minority has certainly not been
considered and as l have said before
it has political significance. McClel-
Ian and l are not looking for any
particular committeeship as we are
here to work, but it is playing politics
to reduce the committees. Mayor
Fern has been elected for the fourth
time and therefore must hold the con-
fidence of the people, but ever since
his election members of this and the
former board have passed rules de-
signed to lessen his power and claim
IT IL against the wishes Of the peo-
Pile"
Hollinger replied that the majority
had not attempted to take any power
away from the mayor given him by
law, but that it is the prerogative of
the board to make its own rules and
1t intended to do so. The commit
tees were reduced for efficiency"
said Holhnger, but II the minority
can name two more appropriate COM
mittees we might consider it."
Petrie came back with the remark
that the move may not be against
the law but 1t is against precedent
which he said sometimes is stronger
than law.
Hollinger then named the standing
committees which were approved.
Mcclellan, saying he wished to
make it plain he was voting not
against any committee member per-
sonally but against the tactics of the
majority, voted no. Petrie voted yes.
I'll not stand out on this" he said.
The meeting adjourned until Fri
day night.

R!!ollinge'r Aims To
: Block Democratic
Probe of City Coin

Because he believes that it is
an insult to the auditors depart
ment for the Democratic party to
engage H. Gooding Field to make
an inspection Of the books, Ben
Hollinger is on tie war path to
prevent Field from obtaining
further figures.
Tt SIS just the same as saying
that the auditors department
doesn't know how to keep its
books, !" Hollinger declared, land
am going to have it stopped If
can. Once before Field; then re-
presenting the chamber of COM
merce, tried to get the figures and
was prevented and the same situa-
ton applies now"
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-07-04

Realizing the fact that the Repub'
licans held the whip hand and their
part in the running of the municipal
machinery was to be a more or less
perfunctory role at the beginning, the
Democratic minority Of two Of the
board Of supervisors became recon
ciled to their fate and indicated at
last nights meeting Of the supervisors
that, as their opposition would Of ne
cessity prove futile they would fall in
line with the majority's program and
do their bit" in speeding up admin
istrative affairs.
But the Democratic pair, Messrs:
Mcclellan and Petrie, did not surren-
der without voicing a protest at not
being allowed to have voice in the
disposition Of weighty matters.
Mayor J. ]. Fern was not yet strong
enough to attend, so Charles Arnold
took the chair while Ben Holhnger
was the floor speaker for the ma
jorfty.
Brooks No Interference
From the very first the majority
made it plain in both actions and
words that !. 1t intended to run the
affairs OF the city and would brook
no interference Of political nature.
Arnold crystalized this when he
said: 49,
THE mayor has seen fit to make
certain nominations for positions al
ready provided for by ordinances. We
believe, therefore, that It Is time to
inform him and the minority that the
majority proposes to retain all the
prerogatives vested in the board"
This stand, however. was tempered
as much as possible by the willing
ness Of the majority to agree to any
proposal of the minority when It did
not tend to shear them Of their power,
and the Bourbons, seeing that the
cards were against them, gracefully
submitted and did everything to speed
the work. 80

/ CITY BUSINESS AND
SUPERVISORS NOTES

The next meeting Of the board of
supervisors will be held Friday even
ing, July 6:
Bids ferAhe supplies of the city for
the next six months were opened and
the purchasing agent ordered to tabu-
late them for the next meeting.
Bids, for the burial Of INDECENT dead
were opened Tuesday night. Will
Barthwick was the lowest bidder with
an offer Of SIS per person and H. H.
Williams bid $3.50.
A resolution creating, defining and
establishing the Beretania street im-
proyement district from Alapai to
Punahou streets was passed and also
an ordinance fixing the grades and
curb lines.
Lester Petrie introduced a resolu-
ton calling on the city and county
engineer to prepare estimates for
ca1tonier system of roads for the
county Of Honolulu. 1t was referred
to the road committee.
Because Of the H. C. of L. the board
Of supervisors must now pay for the
lights which It uses. In a letter from
the directors Of tle Mcintyre building,
the building was offered at a rental of
$40 a month, but on the condition
that the administration pay for the
lights.
Charles Arnold suggested that the
members Of the board take under cen
sideration the proposition of appoint
ing an engineer to inspect the con-
struction of roads in subdivisions. He
said at present there is no way by
which the city can check up as to
whether the roads are properly laid
and as the city and county will have
to maintain them after they are down
it is very necessary to have an over
seer.

CONSTITUTION
Amendment Necessary Permit
ting the Tribunal to De-
clare War.

Washington, Jan. 1s.-Senator Shaf-
roth today urged the senate judiciary
committee TO approve his resolution
for a constitutional amendment which
would permit negotiations of treaties
engaging the United States to submit
It's disputes threatening war TO an in
ternational tribunal and engaging to
contribute to the support of any mill
tary establishment necessary to ex-
ecute it's DEGREES. Senator Shafroth
explained that it is necessary to
change the constitution because a
treaty of this kind in effect takes the
power of war making from congress
and places 1t with the tribunal.
Oscar 8. Crosby. one of the origi-
nators of the enforced peace idea, said
that while he did not believe the enc
of the present war would see the crea-
tion of such a tribunal. he believed
eventually II would come.
Mr.. Crosby said he believed Presi-
ent wilson's peace note meant that the
chief executive was ready to negoti-
ate to engage the United States &c
give up to an international tribunal its
rights to make war.

Another said Villa has begun an at
