Sir: Will you kindly present the fol-
lowing to the Board of Supervisors for
the County of Oahu'
At the last session of the Legislature,
a loaniappropriation was passed for the
construction of "New Laundries, Ho-
nolulu," amounting to $l4,5OO.OO.
After careful consideration of this
matter, it seems to me that the main
tenance of such laundries should be I'M
der the control of the Supervisors as it
is a purely local affair. ] have thought
that possibly arrangements could be
made with the County, whereby this
money could be used in the construction
of a new building (Which is sadly need
ed), and that the Territory of Hawaii
could lease to the County of Oahu, the
building as well as the property on
which it is to be located at rate which
would be sufficient to cover the inter-
est on the expenditure proper rent for
the land, and in addition provide
sinking fund which at the end of ff-
teen years would equal the amount ex-
pended from the Territorial bond issue
of 1905 on the date of the maturity of
these bonds.
The Territory, at the present time,
receives, yearly, about $6,S75.00 on ac-
count of rent of laundry privileges in
the present building, and expends, year
ly, the sum of approximately $3,s66.0o
for maintenance and fuel consumed.
This expenditure does not include any
water rates, as, of course, water is
furnished to the laundries, by the Ter
ritory, without charge.
Undoubtedly, the present rates could
be somewhat increased without work
ing any hardship ON the tenants, and l
believe that if the County Supervisors
take control of the laundries, they will
receive an income which will consider
ably exceed the amount paid on ac-
count of rent, sinking fund and run
ming expenses.
Trusting that you will advise me of
any action taken by the Supervisors, [
beg to remain,
Yours respectfully,
(Sgd) c. S. HOLLOWAY,
Superintendent of Public Works.

for other expenses, s17,96O, making
total of s21,6SO. Speaker said they
were getting but s25. 900 per month from
the Auditor and he did not believe
this was correct. Thought the board
should decide upon a stated sum for
expenditures and stick to that
He opposed the custom of the Auditor
holding back 10 per cent. month from
the allowances. AS this board has to
pay the bills he did not consider it
right Tor the leTTllOTy 10 Hoiu pdch

THE POLICE EXPENSES.
Mr.. Lucas suggested taking the bull
by the horns. Thirty-six per cent. of

port of police was entirely too high.
