Electric Lights for q Cts a Month";

| Honolulu uses the electric current for
lighting purposes more generally than do
most American cities of it's population.
| The reasons are found partially in the eli
| mate conditions which urge the
adoption of a light unaccompanied by
heat or an offensive odor. Furthermore,
no gas company has found our city an
| inviting field for investment chiefly be-
cause of its scattered condition and the
consequent large cost OF reaching
consumers; and electricity has thus met
no competitor except the original oil
lamp and the tallow candle. A third
cause we believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
PRODUCED by the Government, it was
offered to consumers on a basis of rates,
which in many cases of commercial
lighting and especially for night light
ing, considerably discounted the cost of
oil for the same amount OF illumination.
The demand thus created soon reached
the limit OF that Government supply.
Today the Hawaiian Electric Company
possesses working capacity equal to
more than three times the present COM
bined incandescent output OF the Gov
eminent service together with our own.
We offer lighting at the Government
fiat rates as follows:
Stores and Offices per 10 C. p. light Per
month $l.00
Residences per IS c. p. light per
month-tO , lights 90cts.
Residences per Is c. p. light per
mOnth-eXcess of lights 60cts
We do much better than this for our
consumers. We place lights in every
nook and corner OF your premises if you
wish, measure the light you use, and
charge for actual consumption only.
You use light when and where you
need it and you don't forget to shut it off
when that need is satisfied, nor do you
feel bound to keep the lights going from
dusk till dawn in order to secure the
value oil a stipulated bill. We in turn
know exactly what We have delivered to
YOU and can figure with certainty upon a
definite and rock bottom basis.
The cost OF is c. p. light per hour is
IL to Is cents, varying with the
efficiency OF the lamp.
The probable cost to you per month is
clearly indicated by the following
analysis OF total charges made for resi-
dence lighting during June. Average
number of'lights per consumer, June 30,
%; average amount paid for months
lighting per consumer 81 81 average cost
per light for the month 2lcts. In view
OF these prices and the positive advan-
tages OF safety, convenience, simplicity
and comfort, you can i'll afford to use
candles or oil. We furnish fittings and |
wiring Of only the best grades and for !
obvious advantages at the lowest reason |
able figures.

due to its physical features, which are
quite unlike those of any other of the
islands. Its shores are low; peak, the
approaches to which are gradual, rises

scenery. The entire group appears to be

this government for a cOaling station.
1t was then proposed to annex the is

chiefs of the group joined in petition
asking that this be done. This govern

of local government composed Of Il ma

and natives IN 1878 a treaty was signed
by the Samoans and the representatives

which was not concluded till some time
IN July Of last year, when Mataafa saw
that his contest with Malietoa was a
hopeless one. He retreated to the island
of Manono, and there American, German
and British warships threatened to
lombard him unless he surrendered.
