OULDCELEBRATE
COMPLETION OF
MAOLE PROJECT

With work on the Msole ditch and
tunnel project nearing completion. IL"
suggestion was made this morning at
a meeting OF the Oahu loan fund com
mission that some sort OF ceremony
be held TO mark the opening OF the
water project.
Just what this would be has not
been considered. in fact the idea is
in the very first stage Of Development
but the suggestion is made that Mayor
Fern or Governor Pinkham and other
notables might be asked 10 open the
gates that will turn a new flow o.
water into the city mains.
Fred G. KirChhOI, commission en-
gineer reported this morning that the
project is rapidly nearing close, ano
that nothing save cleaning up work
about the ditch should remain by the
end of this month. The contract time
expires by date on Saturday Of this
week, with two or three days allowed
next week for extras.
During the last week $50 feet OF
lining have been placed, and only 9""
feet now remain, besides some con
crete work in the tunnel. Commits
sioner Castro suggested this morning
that an iron grating should be built
on the hillside above the dam to pro-
tect 1t from powders, but the engt
neer and other commissioners hardly
thought this necessary.

DAYLIGHT Saving

BODY WEDNESDAY

Wednesday afternoon at . o'clock
the members Of the Chamber Of Com
mcrCe will meet TO consider the ques-
ton as 10 whether they will 90 on
record as indorsing the daylight say
ing plan Ior Honolulu.
The day light saving plan has been
advocated Tor honolulu for nearly two
years but it VAS only recently that
sufficient backing could be obtained
TO put the scheme directly up to the
members Of the chamber for deCis,
ion. although 1t has been dlsCussea
informally at times.
Letters were sent to all the mem
hcr~ OF the chamber Last week by tie
secretary. Raymond {. Brown asking
them to pOst themselves on the sub
jet as Thoroughly As possible and also
pointing out many OF the advantages
which would accrue 10 Honolulu II the
plan is put into operation.
There is a bill now before congress
which. if passed will give the main
land an extra hour Of daylight during
working hours. but as it does not ap-
ply TO Hawaii the real object OF the
meeting Wednesday will I've 10 decide
whether Hawaii shall adopt the plan
II il becomes law on the main,

COLLINS URGES
MORE EFFICIENCY
IN ENGINEER JOB

education be employed. The position
is not one in which a man with
knowledge Of patching can give sue
cess. 1t is a big job and only a man
with big ideas based on sound bust
ness principles and a knowledge OF
the work which has covered several
years in municipal afafirs should be
considered II possible"
Mr. Collins especially points out
that a man may be a first class en-
gineer in certain lines and yet not
make a success as a city and county
engineer, as it requires special know
ledge which can only be obtained
through practical experience.
Ability to Organize
Ability to organize is another re-
quisite which Mr.. Collins considers es-
sential as the number of employees is
large and the department as a whole
is made up of many minor ones sepa-
rate in themselves and it can be only
through organization that they can
be interviewer into harmonious
whole.
Whether a man with all these re-
quirements can be found at this time
it is impossible to say" says Mr..
Collins, but it is absolutely necessary
that he have the first two and as
much Of the other two as possible"
That the engineering and road de-
partments should be taken out of pol
itics and placed entirely under civil
service rules is the principal sugges-
ton which Mr.. Collins makes for the
betterment of the department.
There can never be efficient work
as long as a political string is at
tached to the position and l believe
the best way to make appointments
to positions and promotions after
wards is by means of civil service,
says Mr.. Collins.
Mr.. Collins also believes that the
engineering and road departments and
water department should all be
placed under city and county ,.,r
gineer with competent assistants in
charge of each individual department.
BY this means all of the street work
will be coordinated under one head.
The Engineering department would DE
run by an expert office man who
would handle the details of the plans
and specifications; the road depart.
ment by an expert repair man who
would cooperate with the manager OF
the water department.
Mr.. Collins concludes by saying that
the city and county engineer should
be paid a much higher salary in pro-
portion to his ability even if it amount
to $4,000.

NO POLITICS, SAYS
STAINbACK BACK
FROM MAINLAND

Tennessee and other states OF the
south are turning their cotton fields
into war gardens IN answer to the call
Of the president for food production
this despite the fact that cotton is
selling higher than al any time for
years
This Is one OF several striking things
noted by Attorney General l. VI. Stain

trip 10 the mainland.
StainbaCk found the war spirit every

training camp WCrK and others ready
to meet the draft call If made on them
One point in the draft law that
seems to be striking hard on some Of
the mainland towns, especially those
that have a large alien population, IS
the section that requires the draft
quota to be regulated by population.
despite the number OF aliens that may
be living IN sucn places. The remain
ing Americans, often smaller in mum,
Der than the alien population, tbEs
feel the draft call a special burden,
and a move has been started in the
hope OF changing the law.
Stainback did not visit Washington
and steered clear OF politics during
his trip, he says Most Of his time
was spent at his old home near Mem
phis, Tenn.
