cation is inadequate to prosecute con-

II. order to complete the contract

It is essential that you materially
increase the rate Of progress in con-
structing combined concrete curb and
cutters and in constructing concrete
pavement 1t is further essential that

HATCH ASSAILS
CITY ATTORNEY
in WARM DEBATE
Supervisor Becomes Custic
When Told BY Cristy Board
Must Let Collins Alone

The cutting down OF the ironwood
trees at kapiolani Park was ordered
stopped by the board of supervisors
Tuesday evening until such time as
Il could make an Investigation, but
rot until A. NJ Cristy, deputy city al.
torney, had shown the members where
to head in" and Judge +. Nj. Hatch
In reply had declared that the present
attorneys office could not be de-
pended upon and that something must
be done TO obtain legal advice which
the board could depend upon.
Hatch brought the matter to the al.
tention of the board. He said that
the trees were being destroyed and
moved and that the city engineer or.
der the Spalding Construction Com
pany to stop the cutting The engi-
Eeering office has not treated us with
courtesy in this matter" he said.
Undoubtedly the board will vote to
have the trees cut. but We certainly
should have a hearing first and give
everybody an opportunity TO express
their opinion. Let us have hearing
at another meeting"
Hellinger backed Hatch. saying:
Let us convince the public and the
city planning commission that the
trees should be cut down. There is
no need OF any hasty action"
Board Cannot Interfere
Cristy then, speaking for the engi-
neer's department, said: The county
engineer, George Collins, has been put
by the board in sole charge Of this
work. He came TO me for legal ad-
vice and | told him that the board has
no right to interfere I'm any way with
the work on Kalakaua avenue and "a
go ahead and cut down the trees a.
cording to the contract IL the plans
are changed for this ii will result
in the city and county being at the
mercy of every property holder who
has a crouch and wants something
done differently. The public utilities
commission has control over the
streets anyway and not the board.
and as it has approved the contract.
the board can do nothing.
The Rapid Transit tracks are to
run directly through the space where
the trees are. Stuart Johnson. its
engineer, told me that the trees should
come down. The engineer has been
put in charge of this work and should
be let alone II this Is going to be a
hybrid government, with the board
constantly interfering with the de-
partment heads we will never get
anywhere"
Divine Aid Is Needed
In reply Hatch said: do you mean
to say that the boards hands are tied
in this matter, that we cannot stop
the work? IL that Is so and we have
to surrender our rights in this mat
ter. God protect US from our attor-
ney's department and let us get one
which we can depend upon. Several
weeks ago We were informed by our
attorneys that we did have some con-
troll over the street and now Il says
we haven't. / am afraid we must get
some other form of legal advice"
During this TRADE Cristy appeared
to be looking for hole in which to
crawl, and although o reply was eyi.
IDENTIFY expected he remained seated.
This afternoon the board will meet
at Kapiolani Park, where II will make
an Investigation.
