INTEREST IN SHARK
SKINS FOR LEATHER
is SHOWING INCREASE

The interest that has been aroused
by efforts to establish wider utiliza-
ton of the skins of sharks in the man
ufacture of leather has resulted in the
receipt of large number of letters by
the United States bureau Of fisheries
from persons and firms connected with
the leather trade or industry.
Much work was done by the bureau
during the past two months. At pres
ent il has on hand about 100 small
shark skins and 90 large ones. Many
of these were shipped from Seattle.
About 90 communications have been
received expressing a desire 10 expert
ment with this product and the raw
material will be supplied as far as
possible. Manufacturers and brokers'
have been advised of possible sources
of supply and an effort made TO inter
est fishermen in this fishery. ~.
In December 1000 pounds of hides
from Alaska were landed at Puget
Sound ports, and adyices from Mica
ragua state that a practically mex
haustible supply may be obtained from
that country. Tanned skins from a
number of persons are being received.
Several small samples received appear
very promising. y -".a
The possibility of using skins of
other fishes has not been overlooked.
Skins of>several species have been or
dered for experimentation and will be
supplied to tanners when received

INSPECTION OF .
MILK remains
WITH COUNTY

Over the question of territorial or
city and county inspection of milk and
diaries, city and territorial officials
battled verbally this morning before
the senate judiciary committee.
At the close of the debate and after:
the participants had filed out of the
committee room that body voted to
recommend the tabling of the bills in
its report to the senate proper.
DR.. ]. S. B. Pratt, president of the
territorial board of health, spoke for
the bill and Mayor Lane, Supervisor
F. NJ. Hatch and Supervisor Daniel
Logan spoke against it.
1t was between Pratt and Logan,
however, that the warmest argument
occurred. Logan stood firmly for let
ting milk inspection remain under the
control of the supervisors. This is
simply another effort to rob the city
of its power" declared Logan as the
debate waxed warm. This is the first
time in the history of Hawaii that We
have had good milk. and now the
health board would take this power
from the city and county. It's an.
other slap at county government.
Dr. Pratt sought to calm Logan, de-
,claring that he did not care to get
into wrangle over the matter.
IF Mr.. Logan will come to my of.
flee, however. / can prove to him that
the territory was inspecting milk for
bovine tuberculosis tests long before
the county was" he added.
This bill was not made with the
idea of attacking city government. We
are carrying out the work on the other
islands and have improved the condi.
tions lot in the last year.
Pratt asserted that the change
would mean economy, but this was
doubted by Mayor Lane who took up
the argument. The mayer said he was
present as chairman of the board OF
supervisors not because his brother is
milk inspector.
IL finally developed that only one
case of lack of cooperation between
the two governments was on record,
according to Dr. Pratt, who said that
the supervisors had not had place
cleaned up Immediately. Lane point
ed out that so many improvements had
been called for on the dairy in question
that the board had felt some delay
was excusable under the conditions.
The committee will take up the
health boards plumbing bill tomorrow

MAY KILL BILLS
T0PROTECT FISH

Three house bills, fathered by Rep
resentative G.. p. Wilder and having
for their purpose the protection OF fish
and other sea-food in Hawaiian waters,
may be killed next Saturday morning
when they come:up for consideration
1t is reported that the Oahu Demo
Gratis are strongly against the measure
and have secured the support of sew
eral members from outside islands on
the plea that if the bills are passed,
needed, food will be cut off from Ha-
waiians- The author of the bills. who
has given the subject much considera-
ton and has secured advice from men
in the territory recognized as being
experts on fish, declares on the other
hand that the legislation is badly
needed to protect the supply of sea.
food in these waters
Already a compromise has been eff
fected on one feature-the bill pro-
tecting Holsters. Originally the bill
prohibited the taking of Holsters less
than ten inches in length. There was
considerable objection to this and it
is reported that it will be amended to
afford protection to females carrying
eggs, but not otherwise. This much
protection is felt to be step in the
right direction.
Friends of the three measures are
hoping that public opinion will come
to their aid and result in the passage
of the bills. s-.=.s

GIVEN GOOD ROADS
RIDE AROUND OAHU
WOULD Be RIVIERA

Nowhere else in the world will the
tourist view such grandeur as is seen
in a drive around the island said
w. T.. Hardy OF Nebraska in talk
before the members OF the Rotary
Club at the weekly luncheon today
Not even the Riviera, famous in song
and story, can equal that of the drive
around the island"
Hardy completed his statement by
Saying that the roads around 0ahG
were practically impossible. Buying
a secondhand car. he had made the
tour with his wife and family but.
although his wife wanted TO revisit
the scenes in the drive. he felt that
the conditions of the road were such
that he did not want To take any
chances.
Hardy, who is furniture man and
a booster. suggested that the mer.
chants Of Honolulu should do some
thing TO remedy the conditions ,~He
said that Il was nothing more OF less
than a sound business proposition, and
good roads would bring much to the
people Of Honolulu and should be
looked at as a real investment.

END Of COUNTY
rule in SIGHT
Of SUPERVISOR

Because in several bills the legisla-
ture is attempting to delete powers
OF the board OF supervisors and county
government, the board last night Sc
yereIy criticized it and the course be
ing pursued was declared to be the
work of enemies OF the city and coun-
" government. ~s.
Judge F.. NJ. Hatch told the board
that its legislative committee was OPP
posing the proposed charter and asked
IL to advise the committee as to its
stand on other matters.
A. NJ. Cristy, deputy attorney. said
that there were a number of bills in
troduced which tended TO deprive the
board of control of dairy andrplumoing
supervision and other health and SAM
tary matters. ILL.,

tempting to do things which they
know nothing about" said Arnold. Ii

The board is continually blamed
for spending too much money and here
In a bill increasing the salaries of sew
eraI county employees and taking that
power out Of our control" he added.
Logan then showed how the present
statutes for dairy inspection had been
put on the books by the initiative of
the county. He declared that the ter
ritorial control in these matters had
not been nearly so successful as under
the county. ..... ..=
1t was also pointed out that unless
these bills were killed it would be
only a few years before the end OF
county government would be in sight.
