FOR PARK
More Funds Needed to
Maintain Kapiolani.
Treasurer's Report Shows Deficit
How the So, 500 Is Expended
Each Year.

At recent meeting Of the Trustees
of Kapiolani Park, the treasurer pre-
scented his report showing that the
present appropriation of 1900 per an
mum was quite inadequate to meet the
current expenses OF the park and to
keep that now popular institution in
any thing like decent order, and make
it present a beautiful and attractive
appearance to its numerous visitors.
Kapiolani Park has now become a sub
urban necessity to Honolulu, and it is
surprising to note the number Of per-
sons, men, women and children, who
noon and more especially on Sundays
and moonlight nights. It's shady ave
nues are the delight OF bicyclers and
carriage drivers.
The amount allowed by the Govern
ment for the maintenance of the park
is 81, 500 per annum. To this may be
added about $500 or $500 a year re-
ceipts from sale of keave beans, fire
wood, rents from track for races, ETC.,
making a total of, says, $4,000. Out of
this there has to be maintained the
whole property of the park comprising
about $50 acres. This represents over
eight miles of avenues, numerous
bridges, culverts and fences. all of
which have to be kept in repair, to say
nothing of the regular work which is
constantly going on, of retaining
swamp lands, building of new avenues,
planting of trees, watering of roads
and other work incidental to the care
of the park.
At present the staff of the park con-
sist of 16 laborers and one manager.
Their wages, with the cost for grain
and shoeing working animals, more
than uses up the receipts, so that by
the treasurer's showing, deficit of
nearly 81 600 has taken place since the
new commissioners took hold, some
two years ago. Unless relief is obtained
from the Legislature it will be neces-
sary to curtail much of the work and
necessary repairs, which will eventu-
ally detract from the beauty and at
Effectiveness of the place.
1t is to be hoped that the present Leg
islature will see their way to helping
out the commissioners with more lib
eral appropriation than has hitherto
been granted, so that the present in
debtedness may be liquidated and some
much needed articles like water
sprinklers and mules be obtained.
