SUBSTITUTE FOR

GIVEN TO HOUSE

House Bill Is, providing a new city
charter for Honolulu, is no more. On
the Recommendation OF the Oahu dele
cation It was tabled and ns,siied to
the ''morgue" in the house OF repre-
sentatiyes this ncrning.
But in its place is a new measure,
House Bill 354, which is the original
charter bill as rehashed, revised and
amended by the delegation The sub.
stitute bill has passed first reading
and has been placed on the calendar
as special order Of the day for next
Monday, at which time it will come
up on second reading.
Chairman Gerrit p. Wilder of the

ing report:
Your special committee, comprised
Of the Oahu delegation, to whom was
referred House Bill Is, introduced by
Representative Lorrfn Andrews, en-
titled, AN act Incorporating the city
and county of Honolulu, and providing

after due and careful considera-
ton, your committee finds 1t has had

BUDGET TONIGHT

The second reading of the budget 10
run the city and county OF Honolulu
for the next three months Will be
taken up tonight at the meeting of the
board of supervisors with the question
of raising the sa:aries IF the various
departments the principal feature.
At the meeting Tuesday night the
heard raised salaries Il 3 depart
ments for total of approximately
S2G0a a month but as seYcra! depart
ments were left out, 1t is understood
that these intend to make requests for
more money this evening. This morn
ing the Office of the clerk of the board
was swamped with applications for
salary increases. -. .+... -a
One of the departments which will
make a request tonight is the police
and E. p Fogarty, member OF the civil
service commission has agreed to
speak on its behalf. His plan. how
ever. is to ask for raises for only the
police officers who are on the street,
not touching those who have office
jobs. H. -. -.
The patroImen have the hardest
position of any of the policemen" said
sFogarty today. and believe they
should be given more money / do
not think inside men should receive
more than captains do ....z. .s>4
Supervisor Larsen has plan which
he thinks will satisfy everyone. His
plan is based on the idea that the
man who is receiving the least should
get the largest increases. He propos-
es, therefore, to give all day laborers
and men receiving less than $50. 10
per cent increase; those receiving
from $50 to SIS. 1919 per cent more,
from SIS to 500, 10 per cent; from
500 to $3.50 ~ per cent, and from
$50 to 5000 per cent. All above
5000 should be left as they are.
The main argument which the men
are using in asking for an increase is
the high cost of living and the board
as far as possible seems willing to
listen. Most OF the salary raises last
Tuesday night were subject to change
by the finance committee and it. too,
will probably have q report ready to
submit.
