! trial balance and statement showing
the financial condition of the Board at
the close of business on the day preced-
ing the regular monthly meeting, to-
gether with statement of the eXpendl-
lures, attendance and the cost per
capita for each school.
To make the office one of complete
record. we recommend that no supplies
of any kind be purchased without
! requisition of the Secretary, which
! requisitiOn shall accompany all bills
when referred to the proper committees.
We recommend that the Superintend-
ent be instructed to notify the Secretary
of the Board without delay in cases of
absence, sickness, substitution or dis
miSsal OF teachers.
We recommend that the Secretary be
authorized to employ his own clerk, he
(the Secretary being bonded officer of
I the Board, and responsible to the Board
for the action of his clerk.
In consideration of the largely in
creased duties of the Office of the SSecre-
tary, provided the suggestions are
adopted, we would recommend that the
salary be increased to $4,000, and that
he be authorized to employ a clerk,
whose salary shall not exceed 5000.
This suggestion, if accepted, will
effect an Increase in the items of Secre-
tary'S and Clerks salaries of S4OO, leav-
ing net reduction of expenses of
$SO.115.
A fair estimate, so far as we can
judge, of the expenses of this year. bas-
ing the salary roll On that of the month
OF December, 1890. would be as follows:
Salaries. .S42O, 600
Fuel 24.5OO
Interest on bonds (SS50,000). 49,. 1880
Interest on certificates. .... $4,000
Incidental expenses. ....... $4,000
Making total of ..... s579, 900
Deduct the proposed reduction of SOILS
Leaves the estimated ex-
penses for the ensuing year. S49S, 1856
Provided the opening of new schools
will not be more general than we antici-
pate.
In regard to the funding of the pres
ent debt, we prefer to make our Sug-
gestions to the Committee on Legisla-
ton, OF which we are members.
Respectfully submitted.

GENTLEMEN: From the statement
furnished by the City Comptroller, it
appears that the amount of eXpendi-
lures for the year 1890 exceeds the esti-
mated income from the tax levy by
1924, 922.56.
In connection with this we wish to
call your attention to the fact thatin adj
ditiOn to the expenditures of 1890 of
1899, 922 So, as shown by COmptroller's
report, the bonded debt of the Board
was increased 100000, so that as mat
ter of TACT, the expenditures were $780,

and of fine even grain.
The No. Is D. S. IN color OF this
sugar is sure to test almost as nigh
as granulated sugar. There will
be a good demand for these sugars
from coufectloners, bakers, Gamers
and tobacconists, and If above No.
16 D. S. for domestic uses outside
of the sugar bowl. Some portion
of the crop should be sent East for
a market, but only selected high
color and high test.
The present crop of the Islands
is about 10000 tons, which is more
than the requirements of the Pacific
Coast; but if we are right in our
expectations, the crop can be in
creased, and find q ready sale in
the Eastern markets for direct con-
sumption.
Selected dry sugars of No. Is
D. S. and upwards can be shipped
by sail direct from the Islands to
New York. ALI lower grades can
be sold for refining in San Fran
cisco.
There has been some disposition
shown by the Hawaiian Govern
ment to cancel the present treaty,
but we think it will be found that

cannot be found for this sugar in

try except Java produces similar

sugars is limited to No. Is ID. S.
We see no reason why the Sind-
wich Islands may not make No.

| United States trade under the pres
eut treaty, which would come into
direct competition with granulated
sugar for many uses
Il will not be we'll for the Islands
to abrogate the treaty until they
have tested this new business thor
oughly. The fact that they are
not limited to No. Is d s. in color,
while other countries are, may
/ prove OF more benefit to them than
the former state OF things, as 1t
opens to them a trade for an un-
limited production, whereas here
tofore their production has been
kept down nearly to Tie limited
requirements Of the Pacific Coast.
THIS may prove one of the surprises

LATEST FROM THE VOL
CANO.

The Fires of PeIe Steadily Re
turning.
The last breakdown in the floor of
the crater, which engulfed Halemau-
mau, Dana Lake, New Lake, and the
IL or Is active blowholes surround
ing the bluffs over Hslemaumau, in
GLIDING the bluffs themselves, covers
an area of 5000 feet long by $500
feet wide. The sides of the break
down are nearly or quite perpen-
dicular on all sides, with a debris
slope starting part way down the
side of the cliffs, and sloping to
central point, which point is about
500 feet below the level of the SUR
rounding floor of the crater.
The breakdown is slightly larger
than the one of 1886 1t also differs
from the one of 1886 in the following
respects: In 1886 the fire appeared
to have entirely gone out, there
seemed to be no smoke and but little
steam left, and for three months the
crater was absolutely dead and cold,
with the exception of the still warm
lava which had run out prior to the
breakdown. The lava then came
back slowly, and it was considerably
over a year before the whole was
filled up again. The breakdown OF
1891 left hot lava still to be seen in
the cracks around the edge of the
breakdown, and dense clouds of
smoke and intense heat arising at
several points from the bank. After
lapse of only three weeks the
molten lava again appeared IN the
Dit, and it is now filling up rapidly.
The news brought by the w. g. Hall
was that up to the 18th inst. the
bottom of the pit had filed up abons
100 feet, and a lake of liquid lava
formed some $50 to 800 feet in dia-
meter This is the result OF only
ten days action. The bottom of the
pit was steadily rising and the size
of the lake increasing, and activity
showing itself at new points every
! day. The illumination was very
bright, being visible at night at Puma
luu, thirty miles away.
The weather is described by tour
ists returning by the Hall as simply
magnificent. A clear sky and no
| rain.
Tourists desiring to see the Vol
cano will seldom have finer oppor-
tunity than the present for viewing
its wonders, as they will not only
have an opportunity to see the liquid
lava, but the results of the stipend
Gus breakdown, which will, * the
present great action keeps up, be
entirely filed up and obliterated
within few months.
Those who visited the Volcano
prior to the collapse, can probably
recall the immense lava piles to the
left of Dana Lake, and indeed al
around the site of old Halemaumau
several hundred feet in height
When the collapse took place il
March last. all these immense ridges
subsidized, leaving hollow depression
1000 feet long and $500 feet wide
and 500 feet deep. making subsi
dence from the top of the old preci
pices to the bottom of the new
sunken crater of nearly if not quite {
thousand feet. The Inference is tha
the molten lava was suddenly drawn
of through some other (perhap'
submarine) opening, allowing this
immense pile of rocks to subside
and fill the space before occupied by
the lava.
