four months Kahului will have an
electric light plant, a cold storage. an
ice and soda water plant and a steam

says the Maui News. The plant will
be established at Kahului, a site for
THAT purpose having already been Sc
cured. The capital stock of the enter
prise will be S25. 900, the whole Of which
has already been paid in. Local capital
has taken 10000 OF the stock, and the
promoters have put up the rest. The
reason for putting up the whole of the
money at once Is that some years ago
