HITCH
ISPOLICE Chief

With but minor amendments, includ'
ing some Of those proposed by the
Chamber Of Commerce, Representative
L0rrin Andrews city charter bill he's
practically been accepted by the Oahu
delegation Of the. house. barring one
section on which now hinges mild
disagreement, or rather. an uncer
! tainty.
Every section OF the charter bill,
with the exception of the one provid-
ing for the appointment Of chief OF
police by the mayor with the approval
OF the board of supervisors, has been
passed, II was learned today, the semi
final windup having come at a meet
ing OF the delegation yesterday after
noon
Point Remains Unsettled
The difficulty now confronting the
delegation Is the provision regarding
the chief OF police The problem for
the delegation to solve is TO provide
for q chief OF police with jurisdiction
throughout the island of Oahu. or To
turn the powers back into the hands
of the sheriff, who now holds them.
One member Of the delegation says
il was understood that the idea was
to have the mayor appoint chief Of
police only for the district OF Homo
lulu, deputy sheriffs to have control
of police in the outside districts on
this island. But now the matter has
simmered down to the question OF
whether the chief shall be vested with
all the powers, or whether there be no
provision for the creation Of this OF
flee.
Departmen. Heads Elected
The delegation has agreed that the
heads of departments shall be elected
by the people, and not appointed by
the mayor and supervisors. 1t has
been further agreed, as announced in
the Star-Bulletin yesterday, that there
shall be six instead of seven super
visors, three from the fifth and three
from the fourth district. When the
vote was taken on the supervisors yes

been agreed to is that regarding the
superintendent of city works. The
StarBulletin is Informed that the dele
gntion has agreed that the. superin,
tendent shall be appointed by the

Asked what was done with the
amendments proposed by the Cham

delegation said, today:
