The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1890-09-02

fully present for YOUR consideration the
following facts =
/. The residents OF the Districts OF ho-
hala. Hamakua. Hilo and hau, have
each at private expense, constructed,
and now are operating com
plete Telephone systems within their
several districts.
>. The cost OF systems, number OF tel
ephones and the miles OF main wire IN
use are as follows
DISTRICTS. NILES WIRE. 20. TEL. COST.
Kohala. 80. ...... 80. IS, 600
Hamakua . no.. .....,;35;3}. 5,4uO
Hilo.. GO .-...- 3D. 40
Kau ......-45. .... Is.
3. There is continuous telephone COM
from kawaihae to Hilo, but
a break Of i miles between the Kohala
and Hamakua systems and OF so miles
between the Hilo and kau systems.
!. The receipts OF the various systems
are not more than sufficient to pay the
necessary running and construction ex-
penses. -9-
:. The construction OF 9 connecting
line between the Kohala and Hamakua
systems Is estimated to cost $500 and
the connecting line between Hilo and
Hau Is estimated 10 cost $500.
6. The proposed connecting lines viii
be through almost uninhabited country,
contributing no return warranting the
expenditure OF private capital, and as
sisting com aratiyely few private inter
ests.
:. The advantages Of such connecting
lines are therefore such as will insure
more 10 the benefit OF the general public
and to the Government, than to the
local telephone organizations, or indivi-
dual private interests.
5. The manifest benefit to the Govern
ment OF such connecting lines, is that
nearly the whole island will thereby be
placed within the reach Of immediate
communication Of the chief executive
officers Of the island, the apprehension
OF criminals and the suppression OF crime
being thereby greatly facilitated.
@. Il Is submitted that the local organ
izations, and private capital should not
be taxed TO carry out this work which is
largely Of a public nature, and that the
general Government should properly
contribute towards the expense of con-
structiRg such connecting lines. =.ss
10. Your petitioners have reason to
believe that il the Legislature will app
propriate one-half OF the expense OF con-
such connecting lines, sub
scriptions can be obtained from other
sources 10 complete the same. %
l.. Your petitioners therefor pray that
an appropriation may be made by the
legislature to the amount OF 81 500 10
assist IN the construction OF telephone
lines IRON Kohala to kawaihae and
from Hilo to kau, the maintenance of
such connecting lines, after they are
constructed TO be assumed by the local
examinations upon such terms as may
be mutually agreed upon between them
selves.
