SPEAK out on CITY IMPROVEMENT

The board OF supervisors is now engaged in
making up its budget for the next semi annual
period The budgetmaking process is ordinar-
~ accompanied by good deal of secrecy as to
detail, experience in the past having shown that
the public gets little idea of what money the city
Is going to have and what it is going to spend
until the caucusing is finished and the appro-
priation bill complete Then it is about as easy
"a chaage il as TO secure an amendment to the
laws Of the Modes and Persians. &,
The public is particularly interested in the
funds set aside for road and street improvement.
4 Is understood now that the supervisors find
hey VIII have practically no money in the gen
fIal fund for new streets in the district OF Ho-
nolhlu or for roads anywhere. They will set
'side according to present plans, about $4,000
month for roads and streets, but most of it will

Now the point is this
The fullest expression Of opinion from the
public should be given to the supervisors while
hey are milking up their budget; the wishes Of
NJ community on the subject Of frontage-tax
and local improvement should be voiced.
Are the people Of Honolulu willing to accept
Implication Of the frontagetax law only within
ne restricted fire-district area?
Since no large new street improvements are
'.eIy to be begun during the next six-months
period owing to shortage in funds it may be

these are the sections where the city authorities
should take the initiative in planning an inn

Iore progressive property owners in putting it
through.
Certainly, before making up their minds on
the budget and the localim improvement policy for
tie first six months Of 1914, the supervisors
should hold q hearing for more general eypres-

Through the courtesy of S. NJ. Da-

anaIua for the entire day tomorrow,
and the fun is scheduled to begin at
10 o'clock. There will be no expense
attached, except the % cents which
may be expended for the round trip
from the end Of the car line to the
gardens. There will be a Hawaiian
quintet in attendance, and the social
committee, composed CT A. l.. Eakin,
John p. Comes, Jr., Ben c. Stearns
and glyde Hill will see that there
is plenty to do in the way of games
and amusements. Those who have
been invited have been requested to
bring their own kaukau, while the
social committee will provide the nee
essary soda pop and pink lemonade.
During the afternoon a number of
interesting races will be pulled of,
and the men may take their choice
of entering into the three-legged, nee
die and thread, potato or 10O-yard rae
es. The winners in the foregoing con-
tests will receive a six months sub
scription to the Inland Printer or
two months to the Honolulu Star-Bul-

EXPERIENCE

Advice to Expectant Mothers

Theexperience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in . hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received q shock from
which it is hard TO recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain

and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainabls thing is
that with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
viii persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely

From the foregoing 1t Is evident,
then. that If the reffer sold his gran.
ulated sugar at actual cost IN compe-
tition with the plantation made white
sugar, by the Battelle process and the
latter sugar brought the same price.
the producer of these sugars would
make in addition to his usual profit on
raws, $7.3S with So lime, $6.33 with
SIS lime and S5.35 with IS lime. It
is to be noted that the plantation
white sugar producer is able also TO
concede SIS per ton differential under
the refiner's actual cost and still
have greater profit from these sug-
ars tnan is made from the produc-
ton of raw sugar and molasses as is
the practice under present eondi-
tons. He surely will not stand to
lose any of the profits now derived
from his raw sugar even in the event
of a prolonged depression of white
graduated sugar prices and the, out

CARTER CASE UP
NEXT THURSDAY
BIG WAYNE BANKRUPTCY CASE
TO BE HEARD BEFORE
JUDGE SPEER.

In the United States court at Ma
con on Thursday Judge Speer will
hear the petition of creditors in the
case Of the Carter company of Jesup.
in which considerable interest has
been manifested.
Several weeks ago an involuntary
petition in bankruptcy was filed
against the big Wayne county con-
Germ, asking for the appointment of
receiver. 1t was alleged in the pc
tition that the company had sold GER
tain OF its holdings to l.. Carter in
diyidually, and that the concern had
otherwise committed acts which war
rantcd the appointment of a receiver
The company, on the other hand
claims that it is not insolvent, that
no such transactions as claimed have
been committed, and went so far as
TO get an affidavit from one OF the
supposed creditors claiming that he
did not authorize any such action
against the company. The company
will strongly oppose the petition
when it is heard Thursday, having
engaged attorneys to represent it.
The case has attracted unusual at
tention because the head of the
concern, l.. Carter, is one o. the
best known capitalists in this section
of the state.
