PROPOSE Change
NCHARTERBIL

House bin S5i. relating to charter
for Honolulu, was reported on this
afternoon by the Oahu select commit.
tee with main recommendations as
follows: That the mayor he given full
power to hire or discharge without
the approval of the beard OF super
visors: that supervisors be elected
from the two districts Of the city
equally. three and three: that the city
attorney be not allowed to collect fees
for outside services, and that control
over health matters be taken from the
mayor as provided in the bill
AS the result of discussion yes
terday afternoon held by Oahu sena-
tors over the proposed charter for
Honolulu, known as House Bill 354. it
was probable that that clause giving to
the mayor authority in health matters
would be taken out and another put in
its place, clearly defining the duties
of the territorial board of health.
At least this was the tentative de-
cision reached by the committee, and
without opposition. What opposition
may develop on the floor of the senate
remains to be seen. The provision of
the new charter that a city attrney
shall not take private practise during
his term was stricken out by the COM
mittee YESTERDAY. {
No change was evident in the atti-
tude OF the senators toward the vote,
taken Monday, when it was tenta-
lively decided to give the mayor pow.
er to appoint or to discharge without
approval of the board: and also to d.
vide the supervisors board with three
from one district and three from the
other.
