Pier 9 Investigation and Re-
ports of Investigating Com
mittee Cause Hot Session

Superintendent Forbes and the har.
Dor board last night exchanged yerba!
broadsides at a meeting OF the harbor
board-each accusing the other Of
shcrtsightedness and lack of ability in
handling the Pier g probe" situation.
With Chairman Forbes behaving in
what Commissioner Tom Church this
morning called "a petulantly childish
manner" and declaring that the in
yestigating committe of engineers
which criticized his alternative plan
for reconstruction OF Pier 8 did not
know its business, special meeting
o. the board of harbor commissioners
last night resulted in the commission
ers turning on their chairman and
scathingly denouncing his conduct.
The commissioners roasted" Forbes
fast and furiously. 49,
The uproar started when the Ques.

gineer committee. consisting OF G. H.

Commissioner James Wakefield
started in by saying he thought the
committee of engineers should have
criticized Forbes alternative plan in

did not care to enter into any contro-

tie committee should have disagreed
with him more fully and gone into
greater detail as TO their reasons for
such dissenting opinions. When d
motion was finally carried to accept

ORDER HEARING
upon CONTRACT

The question as to whether S. Sa-
saki, the Acknowledgements contrac-
tor who was the lowest bidder for the
new Kaahumanu school building, is a
responsible person and should be
awarded the contract was raised by
Ben Hollinger, who asked that pub
lie hearing be held following the meet
ing next Tuesday evening with the
lowest three bidders present.
The lowest three bidders are: S.
Sasaki, $24,9S0; Joseph Neves, $26,275,
and Henry Fernandez, $26.750. The
Pacific Engineering Company, John
Walker and j. L. Young were other
bidders.
Arnold Immediately declared that
the board did not have the right to
investigate the, responsibility of Sa.
saki and Charles F. Chillingworth, who
said he represented Sasaki, told the
board that his client was an American
citizen and was ready to give 100 per
cent bond.
A. NJ. Cristy, deputy city attorney,
said the board had perfect right to
hold an investigation providing it was
public and impartial.
Larsen came to the support of Hol
linger while Horner said there was
no reason for a hearing if a 100 per
cent bond was given and Hatch sug
gested that the investigation be taken
up by committee first
After further argument. however,
il was voted to hold the public hearing.

CONSIDER ROADS
Plan OF. ARNOLD

To take up further with Charles n.
Arnold his proposed solution of the
road problem that confronts Honolulu
and Oahu and which the Auto Club has
Endorsed and agreed to stand behind
committee of the club composed OF
w. X. Harrington, James McCandless,
George Angus and r. B. Booth called
at the city hall last night toward the
close of the meeting of the board OF
supervisors. Following the meeting
the plan was taken up and informally
discussed by the committee, Arnold
and other members of the board. i
AS had already been outlined in the
Star-Bulletin, Arnold has definite
proposal for "a. tax law, which would
.Flaks, available funds. for roads which
the Auto, Club believes would suffice
to ultimately bring about a system OF
good roads. :.@@.... 49,.
Harrington, actingf as spokesman,
said that the club believed that the
county should be allowed full one
per cent with certain additional spe-
cification set aside in special fund
for road construction and maintenance.
This plan may not work out, he
said, but Honolulu IS growing rapidly
and something must be done if the
city and county is to have sufficient
money to run it's business. We have
come here to obtain assistance from
you and get something started"
Supervisor Larsen then sprung his
$2,000,000 road bond scheme which
has for its underlying principle doing
70 10
Larsen's scheme is to issue $4,000.
COO worth of bonds which he declares
will give the county sufficient money
to construct all its roads. The bonus
would be sold in blocks of $500, 900
each year for period of four years
To take up the bonds, which would be
issued for 5, 10 and Is years. he plans
to set aside each year one-quarter CT
one per cent of the assessed valuation
OF the county which, he figures, would
be about $4,000 Il.
Larsen says the reason frontage
tax law is open to attack is that 1t
may prevent the poor man from own
ing a home. Anybody knows" he
said. that number of these improve
ment districts would not have gone
through if property controlled by the
city and county had not been added"
Following the meeting the Auto Club
committee, with Supervisor Arnold,
George Collins, city engineer, and A.
NJ. Cristy. deputy city attorney, dis
cussed the situation Mr. Cristy con-
scented to frame for the committee and
Mr.. Arnold properly phrased amend
ments to the tax law carrying out the
two suggestions made bys the Auto
Club as regards the additional spe-
cific tax for roads. The committee
is strongly in favor of retaining in the
present law the present road poll tax.
