SUPPLYING THE ARMY OF OAHU

The Army of Oahu is row fifteen
hundred strong-and there are more,
many more, to come.
To figure on the present 0rCes, how
ever, fifteen hundred men and officerF,
infantry, cavalry, engineers and ma
rines, it means that in pay alone about
half a million dollars will every year
be spent in this city and will be Cir
culated here.
This is allowing for proportion OF
the pay received by officers and men
which may be sent out of this Terri
tory to relatives.
In addition to pay money, half
million a year, that will be put into
circulation here, there will be between
$4,000 and 100000 spent here annual
/ ly for food for the soldiers.
And in addition to soldiers pay
spent here and money paid out by the
military for food supplies, there will
be a very considerable sum for labor
and construction outside of Naval
work, Pearl Harbor and the fortifica-
JlOuS uOJ DeluS COlSluSISu'
1t is conservatively estimated that,
with pay and food money and Incl
dentals expended here, on the present
basis of a force of fifteen hundred
men, not less than $750000 year will
be added to the income of the COM
munity.
The Army of Oahu as it is at this
time, may be Appropriated as fol-
follows:
Fifth Calvary: 500 men and 40 Of
flcers, equalling $40.
Twentieth Infantry: $50 men and
25 officers, equalling 275.
Engineers: $50 men and 20 officers
equalling 10.
Marines: $50 men and Is officers
equalling 465.
Naval men, ETC., equalling about so
A total of military and marines
forces which may most appropriately
be referred to as "The Army of Oahu,
of 1,450 men and officers, with an al.
lowance of so men more to cover the
U. S. tug Iroquois, the local station
ship, etc, making a grand total Of
800.
Allowing for 100 officers and l 400
men, and figuring the average pay o.
enlisted men per month at 800 and thu
average expended pay here of officers
not what they receive but what the!
spend here, at 800 per month, it will
be seen that 1,400 men at $40 PEI
month will spend $4,000 per month
or $4,000 per year; and the officer
will spend $4,000 per month, or $12O,

expenditure here by officers and mel
of $456,OO0, or nearly half million
