City Engineer and His Task

II City Engineer Collins is to he offered and is
to accept position that will take him away from
public employ, the selection Of his successor is one
OF the first really serious matters the present board
OF supervisors has had to decide.
1t is no reflection Mr.. Collins to express the
hope that his successor will be a better man than
ne has been. The task before the municipality is far
bigger and involves greater responsibilities than any
thing thus far undertaken. MIR. Collins has laid out
the preliminary plans 1t is source of regret thar
he may not carry them out. The execution that
should be in full swing before the end OF twelve
month means the rounding out of quite tn" most
elaborate comprehensive and expensive road build
ing ever undertaken on this island
The taxpayers of Oahu are to provid" the funds
for this. They willing to pay for it. but they
must have the results.
This is time to measure the City Engineer by
rule of any brand of politics. The capable man.
engineer and manager, is the single requirement.
Partisanship has more relation to this position
than the North Polar expedition to the progress Of
the war.
Money has been provided, money that promises
more than ample to meet every financial demand.
The man Of caliber and courage who knows what
to do and how do it, is what the supervisors have
to find when Mr.. Collins goes.
Honolulu calls for an engineer who will in reality
boss the job
This in the sense of possessing ability to build
roads, brains to intelligenty oversee and command
energy that put life into the work integrity that
will send every cheap politician to cover, and wiha
training and capacity sufficient to protect the city

Honolulu calls for constructive intelligence that
will make short work of the expensive joke of the
water bumps; it must have an end of the lack of
policy that accepts water bumps and corduroy roads

Honolulu in short expects professional skill and
managerial common sense.
To fill the position is not easy. On the spirit in

RESTAURANT FOOD PORTIONS

So far as the control of foodstuffs is concerned
there seems to be division of opinion among those
who are most interested in seeing that this is wisely
done. But now that we have been living for some
weeks under the influence of war conditions and
have come to the point where we can check up on
our experiences, certain lessons might be taken to
heart.
The restaurants of Honolulu have kept good faith
with their patrons but the raising Of prices for
food, because certain kinds of foodstuffs used in
their making have risen seems to be a thing that
should be done with caution. 1t is this raising of
prices promiscuously that is responsible for lot
of discomfort that should not exist.
As an example, there are restaurants in Honolulu
that have raised their prices certain dishes five
or even ten cents. To compensate for this, they
give larger portions, making each perhaps a third
larger than it normally was lot of this extra
food is wasted 1t might be that the restaurants
use the scraps in some way that they do not go
into the garbage pail but the fact remains that any
persons who order and pay for more food than they
can eat are wasting what is left the plates
whether they do so Intentionally or not.
Would it not be the sane thing to do to cut down
the portion below the original size, if such things
must be and retain the old price, rather than to
create dissatisfaction and wastefulness by the
tinual rise in the cost of things cannot do with
out? The Northern Pacific Railroad has solved this
problem by cutting down the size of portions but
permitting people to increase the size of their orders
if they still hungry, at slightly advanced price
This is a suggestion for the Honolulu restaurant
owners to consider

WASHINGTON, d. C., July H.
The storage Of potatoes of the main
crop can be accomplished most sat
isfactorily throughout much Of the
United States in the dugOut pit or
potato cellar in some of its various
forms Of construction, says a recently
published Farmers Bulletin Of the l.
S. department of agriculture. "Pota-
to Storage and Storage Houses In
general, the bulletin says, no attempt
is made to store potatoes of the early
crop, since usually they are sold for
immediate consumption.
While the dugout storage house IS
in most general use, concrete or ma.
sonry houses with frame superstruc'
lures are, perhaps, most satisfactory
in cold climates. In some sections,
especially in the south where drain
age is poor insulated frame structures
built entirely above ground must be
depended upon.
Purpose Of Storage
The primary purposes of storage,
it Is pointed out, are to protect the
tubers from extremes of heat and
cold and from light. Account also
must be taken of conditions of HUI
nudity and ventilation and of the
size of the storage pile.
The temperature should be the
highest at which potatoes can be
maintained firm and ungerminatei,
and which will at the same time holI
fungous diseases in check. Expert
ments of the department with att,
ficially refrigerated storage indicate
that Sc degrees F. is sufficiently low
tor all practical purposes and that in
the earlier portion of the storage sea-
son a temperature of 40 degrees F.
is just as satisfactory as a lower one
except where powdery dry rot infec'
ton occurs.
All natural light should be exClud'
ed from potato storage houses be-
cause when the tubers are exposed
to even modified light, they are soon
injured for food purposes. A prac'
tical rule in regard to humidity, the
bulletin already mentioned says, is
to maintain sufficient moisture in the
air to prevent the whiting of the tu'
bers and at the same time to keep
the humidity content low enough to
prevent the deposit of moisture on
the surface of the tubers.
If potatoes are piled in too large
piles they may become over-heated
and deteriorate. Six feet is a good
maximum depth to which to pile tu-
bers in bins, and the area covered by
each pile also should be limited. A
good plan is to insert ventilated Givi-
sion walls at intervals through the
pile or bin These may be made by
mailing relatively narrow boards on
both sides of 2x4 uprights, inch
spaces being left between the boards.
General ventilation for the whole
storage house usually is accomplished
through yentilating shafts in the roof.
Methods Of Storage
The possible ways to store potatoes,
says the bulletin, are pits or earth
covered piles, in dugout pits or po-
tato storage cellars, in insulated wood
