A long text outlines proposed municipal governance measures. It covers appointing department chiefs, civil service provisions, investigations, removal, and prohibitions on political influence. It lists mayoral powers over appointive offices, procedures for appointments, and anti bribery provisions, with penalties for bribery and misuse of authority.
Fragmented 19th century letters reveal Westerners, carpet baggers, and local government tangled in a debate over incorporation and governance in Hawai‘i. Editorials challenge harmony, urging clarity on Western influence, Taft era politics, and unity under a new territorial framework.
Readable fragments outline a proposed Charter for Honolulu City and County. It details Mayor executive power, salary at five thousand dollars, election timing, and administrative structure. Departments include Public Works, Parks, Water Works, Health, Taxation, Public Instruction, Police, and Fire, with named commissioners and boards.
The Public Works Commission shall serve as acting Mayor and exercise all mayoral powers until the Mayor resumes office or a vacancy is filled by a new election. The arrangement covers temporary or continued absence and ensures continuation of city governance.
