utilities commission should be public
spirited men who should be willing
to devote some OF their time, without
pay, 10 6e3best interests of the GOV,
eminent as Tue members of the ;har,

voiced in the house of representative
this morning and, consequently, house

so to the senate. Is
House bill rs, as amended by the
judiciary committee, provides that
the three members OF the utilities
tcUntnhission shall serve without pay
. instead of getting $40 a meeting as at
present, and that no member shall
be. a government officer.
REPRESENTATIVE Petrie said he be.
lieyed the commissioners were en-
titled TO compensation. Representa-.
tive Andrews differed with him.
Get Pay for Less Work,
The members of the harbor board
do twice as much work as the mem
bers of the utilities commission and
they get no pay for it, said An
drews. The board is now composed
OF the superintendent Of public works,
a deputy city attorney and a layman. y
Andrews pointed out that, since
July, 1915, Charles r. Forbes has re-
ceiyed $3.50 as a member of the
board in addition to his regular sala-
.ry; A. J. Gignoux has received $1S60,
j. N S. Williams, prior to his resig
nation, received $3.50, and VIII T.

Supervisor Hollinger thought that a
commission made up of the city or
county engineers, the superintendent
of public works and separate engi-
neer meant too many engineers on the
job. This would make construction
costs too high II could not be COM
pared with state highways ON the
mainland. s-..
Thurston replied that the appointed
engineer would be the real head of the
commission, though the county engi,
neers would take an active part in
their respective islands. -. F.
Officials Point Out Objections
Mayor Lane said that if the pro-
posed bill passes it will mean COM
plete switching around of the city's
finances and road plans. The present
financial system of the city would not
work under it, he pointed out. II
Senator Coney said that what OBJ
jections Kauai has to the bill will be

Supervisor Logan thought the bill
was inconsistent and related a num-
Der of details that had occurred to
him. ....-...-, -
Attorney Garden objected to the bill
because Of the location of counties in
Hawaii-separated by ocean channels.

system.
