men, it is learned, have been approved

airy regiments will be 16 instead of

merical strength of each is unchanged

Proposed Revised
Traffic Ordinance
Officially Printed

One of the most important of all
the county ordinances passed first
reading at the meeting of the board
of supervisors last week, the revised
traffic and vehicle ordinance and is
published in this issue of Maui News.
Revision of the Maui County traffic
law is made necessary by the passage
of a considerable amount of legisla'
tion covering traffic and motor vehi-
cles passed at the last session of the
legislature. The proposed ordinance
has been prepared with great care by
the county attorney and appears to
cover the situation thoroughly. How
ever, one cannot read it over without
being impressed that many of its pro
visions are now disregarded every
hour of the day.
There are several provisions which
should have the attention of auto
owners and drivers which were yes
terday noticed to be disregarded.
Among these was the speed at which
vehicles proceed up the Main street
hill, turning cars by going into premi-
ses at the side of the street and back
ing out, the muffler cut out on both
automobiles and motorcycles, especi-
ally the latter. But without trouble
a dozen different instances that would
be infractions of the proposed ordin-
ance could be found any day on Maui.
The ordinances will come up for fur
ther consideration and probably pass
age at the next session of the board
of supervisors which is scheduled for
the second day of the fair Those
who desire to be heard on the meas
ure should familiarize themselves full
ly with its provisions and be ready to
express their views at that time.

TOXIC, Sept. 15.--It is believed
here in high official circles that the
immigration question might be includ-
ed in the subjects to be discussed at
the conference for the limitation of
armaments, because both Japan and
the United States hope for direct
settlement OF outstanding questions of
Importance.
Japanese army and navy officers
and officials of the foreign office have
decided, according to the Asahi Shin
bun, upon the following basic prin-
ciples for limitation of armaments:
Japan does not intend to reduce
her navy independently but is willing
to try to establish an agreement with
the powers for naval limitation.
Japan believes it is against the
spirit OF the conference that any
power shall possess sufficient forces
to obtain Il decisive victory over any
other power Therefore, the powers
should minimize the scope of their
armament to the same degree as that
Of the country having the smallest
naval strength among the powers rep
resented.
THE powers concerned should not
establish any naval base or make any
arrangement TO serve as Il base on
the Pacific"
