BIG FUTURE
Of KAHULUf

MAUI. November 24.-The future OF
kahului, Maui's principal seaport, has
been much discussed recently because
or the report that a bank is soon to
be established there by Hon. H. p
Baldwin with d. c. Lindsay, assistant
manager of the Maui Agricultural Co.,
In charge. Rumor has II that the new
masonic building two stories in
height. is to be constructed near the
center of the town. and that the pro-
posed banking establishment is to oc-
cupy the lower story of It,
That Kahului within few years will
eclipse Wailuku and Lahaina in i'm
portance seems now an assured fact.
Besides being the chief seaport and
port of entry, 1t is also the railroad
center of the island and boasts of the
largest wholesale and retail general
store, not to mention the only u. 8.
custom house.
A large part of the town has re-
Gently been surveyed and laid ott in
house lots. The II. C. & S. co. pro-
pose to dredge the harbor to the
depth of 30 feet and build long
covered wharf. Now comes the report
of the masonic building and bank. as
well as vague rumors OF the construc-
ton OF several fine private residences.
Kahului, backed by the resources OF
Puunene whose annual sugar-yield is
the largest of any plantation in the
Territory, should expand and prosper
greatly in the near future
SENDOFF TO LINDSAY.
On Wednesday, ID. c. Lindsay Of Pa
Ia, left Maui for the mainland via Ho-
nolulu to look into the subject of bank
ing. On Tuesday evening, thirty-five
of his friends and neighbors gave him
surprise party as a farewell compli-
ment, The early part of the evening
was devoted to music and games were
INDUCED in during the later hours after
the service of refreshments. The mus
ical program consisted of vocal solos
by Mrs. w. s. Nicoll, Rev. b. ". Ba-
zata and II. w. Baldwin: piano duet
by Misses Sheffield and Agnes Flem-
ing; vocal duet by Mrs. Nicoll and
Miss Steele. and selections on the pia-
nola. A most pleasurable evening was
spent.
MAUI REVENUES.
That Maui county is financially sound
is indicated by the fact that on Friday,
the 18th, A. F. Tavares OF Makawao,
one of the four deputy tax assessors
of the island, forwarded to the tax as
SCISSOR in chief $4,000 in one Enclosure.
making total OF $6S,0OO from Mala-
wac district for the year.
The territorial treasurer has been
sending Maui n warrant for $500
monthly, which annually would amount
to $4,000, and the economical super
visors have saved quite a sum from
these monthly allowances. Hence 1t
Is evident that, as the taxes from Wal
luku district exceed IN amount those
collected in Makawao, the combined
tax revenue from Waikiki and Maka-
wac, after allowing SO per cent to the
Territory, will still be more than
enough to pay all county expenses.
The taxes from Lahaina, Hama and
Molokai districts can be reserved as
an Improvement fund.
