DISCUSS POINTS
II CITYCHARTER
Citizens Commitlco Divided on
Certain Proposed Features
Endorse Recall.
Prom Saturday Advertiser.
Divided opinion as to certain features
of-the proposed city charter embodying
tho Pommlssion form of gov
ernment developed nt the meeting of
tlio cltizons' charter committee in the
senate chamber of tho capitol Inst
evening. TIiq committee deliberated
and argued until into without reaching
a decision upon tho vital ques
tion of how to elect tlio proposed five
commissioners, whether nt largo ns a
commission, leaving to it tho decision
as to what departments each commissioner
shnll bo tho chief of, or whether
they shnll bo olectod in the first plnce
as tho head of n certain department,
as provided for in tho draft of tho
rhnrtcr by tho subcommittee headed by
Judgo Whitney, nnd partially actod
upon last nlgbt.
Ono of tho important points decided
however, was that giving tho city tho
power to acquire- and maintain waterworks,
light plants, telephono systoms,
gas works, sewer works, power plants,
strcot railways and other public utilities.
Ab to tho recall it was finally docidod
by a standing voto, after considerable
discussion, tbnt thirty per cont of tho
vote cast at tho previous election snail
bo necessary to initiate a recall movement,
each voter having to mnko affidavit
before tho city clerk as to his
reason for desiring tho recall. Also no
commissioner shall bo Tocallod boforo
nine months after his election.
For Preferential Primary.
It was also decided that a primary
oloction bill should bo drawn in connection
with tho charter which will
embody tho principles of tho preferential
system of voting. This would do
away with tho donblo election and tho
extra expense, while at tho Bamo time
eliminating much of the partisan features
of tho present system, so far as
tho municipality is concerned.
Governor Frcar, ns tho chairmnn of
tho committeo, called tho meeting to
order nnd thero wns n general discus
sion npon tho draft of tho charter by
tho subcommittee nnd tho alternative
charter as presented by Prof. W. A,
Brynn, which embodied tho city man1
ager plan. The committee then wont
into tho committeo or tho whole with
Mayor Fern in tho chair.
Judgo Whitney spoke for tho simplo
charter, ono which all in this elector-
ato could understand. Doctor
believed that provision should bo
mado in tho charter for ail contingencies,
such aB tho protection of. life in
public buildings, especially tho theaters.
Ho wns also in favor of tho
preferential ballot, and this 'plan car
ried, nlthough the details of tho legis
lative, judicial and oxocutivo powers
of tho commission were left to too com
mission.
It was announced that W. T. Raw
lins was now drawing up a primary
law along tho old lines. Govornor
Prear and others spoke strongly for
tho preferential primary and a resolution
Tvas passed that tho committoo
includo a non-partisan election law in
the charter.
In tho discussion over tho recnli Mr.
Church and Mr. Shinglo favored at
least fifty per cont of tho votors It
wns finally decided that thirty per cent
with a chock by way of nn affidavit
was sufficient to nvoid abusing tho
powor of tho recall. In his discussion
Mr. Shinglo referred to tho Mnhuka
sito petitions nnd how easy it was to
tecure signatures.
City Manager Plan.
Mr, Church stated that ho favored
ii commission tb serve without salary,
just ns members of the harbor commission
now do, who shall employ a
ejty mnnnger, tho latter, to bo
to tlio commissioners nnd tho
fommitsioners to tho people. Most of
the other committeemen nlso favor this
jilan, but realize that it would bo hard
to havo it adopted nt this time.
Then enmo tbo discussion ns to tlio
manner of electing the commissioners.
Governor i-rear was in ravor df electing
nt large, .Twleo Whitiiov favored
tho direct' election to departments. Tho
committeo divided.
Arguments wcro mado that by the
memoa mo commission would
bo' similar to tho present board
of supervisors and would quarrel
over who should head
certain departments, whilo three
commissioners could form a comblno
and run things. On tho other hand
to elect flvo mon at tho head of five
departments would bo to elect five
little governors, each supremo in his
own department nnd out of touch with
.tho other branches of tbo city
Tho point was made that porsonnl responsibility
is tho basil for tho coin-mission
form of government'.
Tho committeo will meet again next

Oil TAX RATE
BQES UP A BIT
Supervisors Fail to See Benefit
of Cutting It Want Full
Pound of Flesh.
(rrom Saturday Advertiser)
As n result of tho insistence of tho
board of supervisors in asking for nn
assessment that will return tho full
limit allowed by tho law, tbo tax rate
of Oahu tnis year will bo $1.11 M on
each $100 valuation. Last year the
rnto was $1.10. Had tho Buporvlsors
followed tlio friendly ndvico of Territorial
Treasurer Colliding and cut oft
tho small amount of approximately
$38,000 from thoir estimate, tho tax
rato for 1013 would havo been $1.07.
Tho difference in tho nmounts is littlo,
the main point being the loss of tho
good effect on territorial crodit a reduction
in tho tax rnto would havo
been. Tho county will got no additional
revenuo; territorial credit is
knocked.
Tho law requires tho supervisors to
prepare an estimate of tho expected expenses
of tho county, submitting their
report to tho assessor and directing
that taxes ho co.iccted accordingly.
The limit of taxes on real and porsonnl
property nllowod by law for county
current expenses is two-thirds of ono
per cent, of the assessed valuntion.
Undor tho presont assessed valuation
of property in Oahu tho greatest sum
which could bo raised in this manner
is approximately $538,000.
Treasurer Conkling, anxious to havo
tho Territory's credit more flrmlv established,
ns well as to aid In causing a
l eduction in tlio tax rato, had suggested
that tho supcrvirors dispenso with
the $38,000. brincinc tho estimato down
io $,"00,000. This would havo brought
tho tax rato down to $1.07 on tlio hun
dred dollnrs' valuation.
Tho supervisors apparently thought
it poor policy to ask tor Jofb tuan tlio
maximum tho law allows nnd accordingly
stretched their estimates beyond
tho limit. This, of course, will bo
pared to within tho limit by tho assessor,
but it will raise tho tax rate, which
will be $.ll' on tho ono hundred dollars'
valuation.
Estimated on Everything.
Tlio supervisors figured that they
would ask for n total of $GC1,C03.23, of
which $475,000 is for current expenses,
$170,000 for permanent improvements
and $10,008.23 for tho interest and
sinking fund. Tho supervisors havo
nothing to dp with this latter item, according
to Treasurer Conkling. It is a
fixed charge, ho says, liko that for tho
assessing and collecting of taxes, funds
for school buildings and funds for
teachers ' salaries, nnd something tho
supervisors havo no power over. Including
it in the estimate harms nothing,
however".
The assessor has no reeourso but cutting
dowh tlio two estimates of tho
supervisors to $403,427.03 for current
expenses and $134,475.07 for pormaneut
improvements, bringing tho totnl within
tho two-thirds of ono por cent, limit,
or $537,002.70. This amount, of courso,
docs not Includo tho other sources of
revenue of tho county.
No Clash, Says Oonkliug.
"I did not havo any clash with tho
supervisors." said Treasurer Coiikliim
yesterday, "I simply pointed out
where n reduction of tho tax rato of
nearly flvo conts on tho ono hundred
dollars' valuation would bo affected by
eliminating a matter or ifas,ouu from
the full amount which the law allows
tlio assessors to demand. Tho fact that
tho supervisors havo asked for this
amount does not mean that it will be
needed for tho expenses of tho county.
It is simply a mUuiidorstnniliiiL' bv tho
members of that body that they might
bo conceding some of their rights by
asking for Joss than tlio low allows. I
simply wnntnl to aid In iiicrrusliiL' the
credit of tho Territory of Hawaii, a
condition which all citfcim desire, Tho
decision of the supervisor moans nothing
tn mo nuiilo from tbo Mitiifiictiiin
i would have had, hud. my ndvico been

TIKEKJ P AGAIN
Kowalo Owners Agreed Now to
Get Together in Ono Contract
for the Work.
(from Saturday Advortivrj
Active plans for t..o reclamation of
tho Hooded lands of Kewslo nro ngatn
under way and it is bellowd tlmt within
tbo uoxt fow months actual work
will bo started on the whole project.
This developed nt a conference called
by Governor Kronr yesterday. It wiih
attended by Superintendent of Public
Works II. K. lluhop, Walter 11 Wall,
chief assistant torrltorln surveyor, and
Dr. .T. &. H. I'rntt, president of tho
board of health.
I'rnctlcally all tho property ownors
whoso holdings in this district nro Involved
in this immense undertaking nro
now understood to have ngrced having
tho work done under ono contract,
thus reducing materially tho cost of filling.
Several -estates owning consldornblo
of tho flooded lands horctoforo havo not
agreed to this plan and this hns been
having tho ontlro district roclnlmcd
to completion n. project which has bcon
tinder discussion for the past two years
or more.
Tho last legislature established what
is known as a revolving fund of $200,-000
to bo used in this work. Failure
of property owners to comply with orders
from tho board of hoalth to fill
in low-lying land would result in tho
department of pubi.e works undertaking
tho work, making the cost a Hon
on tho property filled. The land thus
filled wns to bo sold at public auction,
tho cost of improving to bo rcturnod
to tho revolving fund and the bnlanco
to tho owner of tho property. In this
wny tho fund could bo used for reclaiming
tho entire district, tho fund
eventually to revert back to tho Territory.
Somo timo ago tho department of
public works arranged to begin tho
work under this plnn nnd a contract
providing for tho oxpondlturo of tho
$200,000 was uwurdod. Dolay lu beginning
operations had bcon occasioned
by npponls to tlio court first and later
by negotiations toward getting all tho
property owaers affected to ogreo to
ono of tho causes of delny in enrrying
as ono undertaking, instead of several,
ns would havo boon tho caso undor tho
revolving fund.
Tho added vnl no to tlio rcclnimcd
lands, it is claimed, will bo moro than
sufficient to meet nil tho cost of improvement.
According to a rough ostimato mado
by Superintendent Bishop yostorday,
tlio work will cost in tno neighborhood
of $1,000,000 including sowors nnd
drains. It is posslblo tho Torritory
will bo asked to boar n portion of tho
expense of installing tho sowers and
drains. A bill to this effect may bo
introduced in tho logislauro this
month. Tho balance of tho cost
will fall on tho property ownors of tho
district.
It will require nbout ono year to
complete tho filling in nnd grnding, according
to Superintendent Bishop.
Survoyor Wnll was yesterday given
tho work of porfocting tlio plans, ranking
the final surveys nnd reporting nt
another conference, to bo held soon.
According to Dr. Pratt, tho fil'ing In
of tho flooded Innds of this district
