SUCCESS OF WOOD
BLOCK PAVEMENT

The value and durability of wood
block pavement is amply demonstrated
at the Sorenson wharf. The latter has
been extended into the harbor on a line
ing it one of the important berths in
the Eva end of the harbor. The old
section, which is just half the length of
the entire structure, was paved with
wood blocks which We're smeared over
with a coating of tar. Today the blocks
are intact, none of them showing wear
and tear, and but for the sagging of
the wharf in several places, the blocks
are as good as when first laid down.
The wharf is now Uttered with piles
of wood blocks for paving which are
being cut at Lucas Mill. Each block
is being treated to coat of thin tar
and the whole lot is being put in con-
dition for laying. The extension has
been completed and is in readiness for
the paving.
The blocks are about ten inches long,
four wide and three deep. They are
laid lengthWiSe with the four-inch sur
face up. Between the rows fine gravel
mixed with tar is tamped in, and over
the whole wooden surface a thin coat
ing of tar will be smeared. Despite the
repeated usage to which the pavement
has been put, with heavy freight being
discharged upon it month in and month
out, there is no evidence of wear, SO
noticeable in the plank boarding on
other wharves. Plank-surfaced wharves
give out in a few months and are in
frequent need of repair, as witness the
approaches to the Hackfeld wharf, the
Fishmarket and Brewer wharves.

One Way to Gu, Down Expenses.

Editor Advertiser: The American
system of government is flexible
enough to adapt itself to a great varie-
ty of circumstances and conditions
to States, to fully organized Territories,
to Federal district government, to a
transition period regime like that
which existed in Hawaii between 1898
and 1900; and to a half-organized terri
tory like Alaska to insular govern
ments like those of Porto Rico and the
Philippines and to naval governments
like those of Guam and Tutuila.
In brief, whatever the condition is,
the American government can be made
to fit 1t.
Hence if the people of Hawaii We're
so disposed, as a measure of economy
they could probably induce Congress
to amend the Organic Act SO as to
change the Territorial government to
a mere skeleton form costing nothing
but the salary of the Governor and
Secretary, and vesting all it's duties of
expenditure and its utilities in a sim
gle county, the latter to be governed
by Board of Supervisors, one men,
Der of the Board for each island. This
would abolish the Legislature and most
of the offices and cut expenses below
income. The delegate in Congress.
whom the United States pays, would
be kept. The Governor and Secretary
would have little to do but make their
reports to the Secretary of the Interior
and return calls from dignitaries.
Yours,

Secretary A. L. C. Atkinson Is oppos-
ed to having an extra session OF the
Legislature called. He pronounced MS
opinion emphatically yesterday, when
he said to an Advertiser reporter:
1--WE can do without calling an extra
session of the Legislature. The several
departments must simply keep within
the income of the Territory at any
sacrifice.
"The Legislature has already tried
to do certain things and failed. 1t fail
ed to find an income sufficient TO meet
the appropriations itself made and. not
only that, but failed to provide means
for paying the actual expenses of the
Government.
II do not consider the situation as
being hopeless 1t can be remedied and
Governor Carter is the man for the
work The remedy is simply to cut
down expenses in every department uh-
til they are brought within the Terri
tory's income.
Mr. Atkinson mentioned places where
the expenditure might be curtailed eX-
tensively, even without materially in
turing public services. There was an
Unnecessary multiplicity of bookkeep-
ers in different departments, since the
Audit Act provided for having the en-
tire bookkeeping of the Government
done by the Auditors department.
THE expenditure for the year 1902
the Secretary stated, was $223,OOO in
excess of the revenue, while for the
year 1903 the excess of expenditure over

revenue was s493, 600, or close to half a
million dollars.
Now, with the January and Feb
ruary bills yet to be paid, we are also
carrying forward that half million of
last years Indebtedness At the pres
ent rate of expenditure the deficiency
for this year will be more than sSoO,Oo0
besides the debt of the past year to be
carried OH. The appropriations for the
eighteen months ending June 30, 1905
are s4,6O000o, against an estimated in
come of s3,O64 900"
Governor Carter and Secretary Atkin-
son yesterday began hard work on the
plan of operations mentioned in yester-
days Advertiser, for ascertaining to
what extent the absolutely necessary
reductions of expenditure may be made
in the respective departments. Secre-
tary Atkinson is allotted the Attorney
Generals Department, the police force,
the Board of Education and the Board
of Health. Governor Carter takes the
Department of Public Works and every
thing else not mentioned. They both
undertake the task with the determina-
tion to cut everything to the bone until
the desired equilibrium between income
and outgo be established.
1T must be clearly understood Sec
retary Atkinson said in conclusion,
that the million dollars now in the
Treasury is all appropriated for spe-
cific purposes and cannot be otherwise
expended than for the objects specified.
1t Is loan money. By its expenditure
the general financial depression Will be
so much relieved"

POI PRICE
Taro Market Depressed
With Manufactured
Article High.

There is something anomalous in the
high price of poi which continues to
prevail. Some reason existed two years
ago for a rise in price of this Hawaiian
staff of life. Taro plants throughout
the islands were struck with blight
destroying a great deal of the crop.
Blight still affects the cultivation, but
1t is said that the damaged part of the
root can be cut off and leave the rest
fit for food There is alleged to be no
scarcity of taro suitable for poi-making,
yet the price of poi does not come down
from the semi-famine rates.
The manufacturers and sellers of poi
are accused of being in virtual COM
bination to keep up the price to con-
sumers. At the same time they are
debating the price of the raw material
to the cultivators of taro. Some ridic-
ulous figures have lately been accepted
py the owners of small taro patches
for the crops thereon, the alternative
having been to let the tubers rot in the
ground. Others say they cannot even
give away their taro, which is probably
an exaggerated way of saying that they
refuse to let the poi manufacturers take
them by the throat.
Chinese nave tne manufacture largely
i'm their own hands. the Judge Wilcox
estate being also a large producer OF
poi from its own taro. Reference to
"a poi trust" is common. Likely the
trust does not mean any more than the
well-known skill of the Chinese for
combinations. intangible i'm form hut
irresistible in effect, as illustrated in
their handling of the laundry business.
One poi dealer is quoted as admit
ting that taro is abundant. while Civ
ing as reason for the persistently high
price of poi that there will be scarcity
next year.
Meantime Hawaiians have learned
something from the necessities of the
dearth created by the blight. This is
that wheaton flour makes an excellent
poi. About the only objection they find
to it is that 1t ferments quicker than
the taro paiai. Flour can hardly be
less nourishing than the taro product.
1t would be interesting to have COM
parative analyses from the Food Con-
missioner on this point.
Should wheaton poi come into general
favor with the natives, the t,ro-pound-
ing trust may find that it has over
reached itself
