. WANTS engineer
Asks Territorial Public Works To
Pay 0ne-haIf of A. C.
WheeIer'S Salary T. .

Hawaii county wants an engineer and
will appoint A. c. Wheeler TO the posi-.
tion, provided the department of pub
lie works will go fifty-Rfty with the
board in the payment Of Mir. wheeler g
salary, which is to be two hundred and
dollars month. ..
w. R. Hobby, superintendent of pub.
lie works and chairman of the harbor
board, brought the matter before the
latter board at its meeting yesterday.
After considerable iscussion the beard
decided that il would wait yet awhile
and instructed its chairman ito be IRE.
pared to submit at the next meeting Of
the board some scheme whereby Wheel.
er can be kept on the payroll. - Mr..
Hobby will attempt to do this.
The members, however, were of the
opinion that even il there was any
need for the board to have an agent IN
Hilo, all that could be expected would
be TO pay Mr.. Wheeler for the actual
work performed by him for the board
Too Valuable For Hilo -.
81 believe that Mr.. Wheeler is too
valuable a man to have in Hilo," Com
missioner Watkins remarked. awe have
more need for him in Honolulu"
IL seems practically assured that Mr.
Wheeler will shortly resume his work
here with the harbor board and the
department of public works with
which he was connected for many years
before going to HiIo as agent.
The proposition that Wheeler become
county engineer at Hlo was made in a
letter to the former, sent him by sam
uel Kahhane, chairman and executive
officer Of the Board of supervisors Of
Hawaii County. The letter, which con.
tains the details of the proposition,
reads as follows:
"As you no doubt are well aware,
the County of Hawaii is DESTROYS at this
time Of obtaining the service of eoun-
ty engineer.
"On behalf of the county, am au.
thorized and prepared TO make you the
following proposition, which l hope will
meet with your approval
Commencing with September 1,
1917, the county will pay you 1e-half
Of the salary which you will receive
as agent or representative, OF. the public
works department; will furnish you
with an Office and pay one-half Of the
expenses Of the same; and will furnish
you with an. automobile, though the
upkeep of said automobile will have
to be at your own expense. .-..'.. ..
Hawaii County To Profit
g" Your position as agent Of the pub
lie works department has Influenced
me, to a large extent, in submitting the
above proposition and 1t IS my wish
should you consider favofably the Offer
Of the county, that the Office of civil
engineer and agent Of the public works
department can be so combined as ia
prove Of mutual benefit to both the
Territory and the county. .,...t e..
'If the above offer meets with your
approval, ! would deem il Of great
value to the county if you would take
up with the Governor the various ap,
propriations pertaining to the County
of Hawaii, which come directly under
the Loan Fund Act" .'&.>g@-". ..

before the war, the rate of increase in
living expenses has been much greater.
The present price of rice, which is an
Indispensable foodstuff to the japanese
labOrer, has increased in three years at
least sixty per cent; soy forty per mt,
and misc one hundred per cent. From
these can be inferred the increases in
all other prices. Therefore, even If
earnings are increased by seventy per
cent the increase is counterbalanced
and nulIifed by reason of the increased
cost of living, and we believe that at a
glance it can be seen that the laborers
are suffering. Moreover, plantations
that pay so well as Eva are few among
the fifty plantations of the Islands.
This is the reason why we criticise Mr..
Mead s explanation and term it one
sided. .... ...,
Larger Share Of Profits
"In the last part of the letter or OK
PLANTATION there is clear acknowledge
mont of the enormous profits the plan
tations are enjoying since the war. Our
hope is that the planters will come to
the assistance of the laborers in their
miserable plight by sharing with them
a part of those enormous profits.
"Anxietv' as to special war taxes is
not opportune at this time, These are
question:, ~ be considered when the
time comes. No one knows of future
events. We are hoping for an impair
tial consideration by the planters of
the real conditions of the present time
and not of those which are to come in
the future.''
Split Dividends, Says Shinpo
The Hawaii Shiupo, which has de-
layed editorial comment for several
days on the wage question, yesterday
came out strongly for the higher wage
association, Using what is probably to
become the afnal argument Of the cam
paign. This is TO the effect that the
planters are making great sums extra
for their crops but that the laborers
have received no portion of the extra
profits resulting on the production
which lis due 10 their efforts.
at is not fair, = states the ShinpO,
and urges the planters to split some of
their extra dividends with the laborers.
So far as known the Japanese press
has not discussed the prospect of war
regulation of prices on sugar, nor the
heavy war taxes which the planters ex-
pect to pay. 5sr. ...@.., ~.
Another Conference Proposed
1t was said yesterday that the spe,
cial committee which was named at the
conference held Monday night was
doubtful as to its authority to name
subcommittee and had declined to do
so pending further conference. This
suggestion was not approved by meet,
ing of members Of the japanese press,
which decided to have nothing to do
with such proposed call of the confer.
Cnce and held that if it were to come
it must come from the special com
mittce.

500 houses are TO be ready fer occu-

been termed most unsonltary.
The Inauguration Of the work was
attended by some ceremony. Mayor
John w. lawson was present and turned
the FIRST spadeful Of dirt for the foun-
