KUiaea tnat wider experience in management uj
l neceWry to(establih a ieel!ns:of confidence on

'and speciflcaUonsVissued by" the department be .sub.
nitted to a' renewing boanX.of engineers . made.up
of exDCriericed engineers of HonolulnV- ? '
The routine of this system of oTganiration would
l for .the supervisors to initiate an ' improvement
lan: ;It-would go to the engineerVofflce for costs

that Jarger vities of the mainland have Inaugurat-

Efficiency lill Check It
Every city suffers" at times from epidemics of
crime and the., wholesale stealing of automobiles in
Uonolnju may be partly explained on this lakbC"
"But there "is 'usually a' good reason for these
epidemics starting and it is ordinarily found in
loose methods and lack of discipline
; ! The record Indicates that ifonolnlu furnishes an
example of.the epidemic and the lack of discipline.
Greater efficiency in police management will qukk:
Ijf put, an end to wholesale thieviogfn a town
where the thieves are at all times within a relatiy
ly few miles of the police station.
