The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-08-26

L. The residents OF the Districts oil No.
hala, Hamakua, Hilo and Kau, have
each at private expense, constructed,
equipped, and now are operating com
plete Telephone systems within their
several districts.
2. The cost of systems, number OF tel
ephones and the miles Of main wire in
use are as follows:-
DISTRICTS. MILES WIRE. NO. TEL. COST.
kohala. so. so. IS, 900
Hamakua -. ITO. ....... 80 5,4OO
Hllo.. ......... 60. ...... 30. 9,725
| kau ..45. ....... l3...
3. There is continuous telephone COM
munication from Kawaihae to Hilo, but
a break OF II miles between the kohala
and Hamakua systems and OF 80 miles
between the Hilo and kau systems.
4. The receipts of the various systems
are not more than sufficient to pay the
necessary running and construction ex
penses.
B. The construction of a connecting
line between the Kohala and Hamakua
systems is estimated to cost $500 and
the connecting line between Hilo and
kau is estimated to cost $500
8. The proposed connecting lines will
| be through almost uninhabited country,
contributing no return warranting the
expenditure OF private capital, and as
slsting comparatively few private inter-
ests.
| Z. The advantages Of such connecting
| lines are therefor such as will insure
more to the benefit of the ganeral public
and to the Government, than to the
local telephone organizations, or indivi-
| dual private interests.
8. 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.
8. 1t is submitted that the local organ
izations, and private capital should not
be taxed to carry out this work which is
| largely of public nature, and that the
general Government should properly
contribute towards the expense of con-
structing such connecting lines.
10. Your petitioners have reason to
believe that if the Legislature will APP
propriate one-half of the expense of con-
structing such connecting lines, sub
scriptions can be obtained from other
sources to complete the same.
IL. Your petitioners therefor pray that
an appropriation may be made by the
Legislature to the amount of $500 to
assist in the construction of telephone
lines from Kohala to Kawaihae and
from Hilo to Kau, the maintenance of
such connecting lines, after they are
constructed to be assumed by the local
organizations upon such terms as may
be mutually agreed upon between them
selves.
