by decision of the court about
$4,000 has had to be refunded to
the school districts of Scotland
and Tyndall. Then the election
expenses this year have been vast
ly more than ever before. The ex
pense of a registration board is
entirely useless in a community
where every legal voter is known.
The registration system is neces-
sary in the cities, but in rural dist.
riots or towns the size of those in
this county it is useless. but it is
the law and must be complied
with. Then new feature of ex.
pense this year was a demand tor
$40 hall rent for each school
house and hall where elections
were held. The long and compli-
Gated ballots made the counting
slow, and required an extra day
for each of the s. judges and
clerks. The levy was made to
cover the usual expenses of the
county, and these extra demands
have simply exhausted the fund
te temporarily. Scotland Citizen

We hear occasional critism OF
the board of comfy commission
ers on account of the tact that the
money is in the general fund has
been exhausted and warrants now
have to be registered. A little in
vestigation will show that this
shortage is not due to extrava-
gance OF the board but is due to
conditions over which they have
no control. Had these conditions
been foreseen year ago of
course the tax levy might have
been raised. but this was not
thought necessary at the time the
levy was made. Since that time,

Forester Curran of Philippines
Has Examined Forests
of Maui.

Forester Curran, who stopped over
here on his way to the Philippines to
join the Bureau of Forestry In the is
lands, has stated that the reason for
the dying out of the forests on Maui
are the clearlngs and pipe lines now
to be found In the primeval forest
areas.
Last week Mr.. Curran, in company
with Governor Frear and Territorial
Forester Hosmcr, went over to Maui
and made an extensive trip through the
forests, and his opinion Is the result of
this trip to the Valley Isle
To counteract this tedency to death
of the forests Of the island, Mr.. Cur
ran recommends the planting of other
forest trees to replace the present spe-
clcg, and II is probable that eucalyptus
viii be planted for wind-breaks and
japanese pines also.
The clearing out of the forest and
the pipe lines made chutes through
which the wind blew ut considerable
speed, and this wind dried out the
moisture which had before kept the
| forest alive,
In the uninvaded forest there was a
dense growth near the ground which
kept In the moisture, and with the
opening of the forest this growth dis
appeared, making the soil dry.
Mr.. Curran will leave for Manila or
the transport Crook, which viii be In

HARBOR COMMISSIONERS.

This mornings paper publishes a
more or less elaborate statement, pur-
porting to come from the Public
Works office, of what the Government
intends to do with the wharves and
landings of Honolulu and the Terri
tory
Intentions of the Government are
most always elaborate these days.
But in this connection It would APP
pear that either the Government or
the Department of Public Works had
not stopped to consider at least one
of the acts OF the last Legislature.
The Legislature passed a law pro-
viding for Harbor Commission If
memory serves correctly, the attor-
ney speaking for the business bodies
made the assertion that this commits
sion was wanted because the business
men did not have unalloyed confidence
in the management of the wharf and
landing system by the Department of
Public Works,
Is 1t the intention of the Territorial
officials to proceed, in spite Of legis-
latiye action, without thought for
the Board OF Iarbor Commissioners
created by the Legislature?

every Honolulu citizen taking a per-

nearly full many trips ahead, A
more profitable business could hardly
be imagined than keeping this town
free from quarantine.
