Description
Appreciation is hereby expressed to the Works Progress Administration for cooperation obtained through Project 507 which provided much of the clerical, statistical and cartographical assistance entailed in the preparation of this report and other data to be coordinated and released in subsequent reports; and, to the many Collaborators whose spontaneous response to the Territory’s needs in planning has furnished guidance and inspiration in this our First Progress Report.

Excerpt
There is hereby created a Territorial Planning Board consisting of nine members. The Superintendent of Public Works, the President of the Board of Agriculture and Forestry and the Federal Public Works Administrator or in the event there is no Public Works Administrator then the Federal representative of Public Works who shall be designated by the Governor shall be ex-officio members of the Planning Board. The other six members of the Planning Board shall be appointed by the Governor by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Two of the appointive members shall serve for a term of one year, two for a term of two years, and two for a term of three years, and one of the appointive members in his appointment shall be designated as chairman. Upon the termination of such initial terms the members shall serve for a term of four years in each case. The appointive members shall hold office until their successors are appointed and qualified. Any vacancy occurring before the expiration of a term shall be filled for the unexpired term. At least one of the members of said Board shall be an architect and at least one of the members of said Board shall be an engineer, both registered to practice in and who have been actively engaged in the practice of their profession in Hawaii for at least five years prior to their appointment. The members of the Board shall serve without pay, but they shall be allowed such reasonable expenses as are authorized by the Board and incurred in the immediate discharge of their duties, to be paid out of such funds as may be available and in the same manner as the expenses of the other territorial officials are paid. The Board is authorized to appoint, fix the compensation subject to the approval of the Governor, and prescribe the duties and powers of a director and such other employees as may be necessary, and they shall hold office subject to the pleasure of the Board. The Board is also authorized to make such other expenditures from available funds as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Act.
