MIR. SwanZy, referring to the portion
about making alcohol out of the ba
gasse. asked If one of the difficulties
was not the superintendence Of rev
enue officers. He had noticed in Por
to Rico they always had two revenue
officers, which was quite an expense
! as they had to be maintained on the
place.
Mr. Renton asked if there was a
difference between bagasse that had
been broken up and bagasse in large
masses. During breakdown in Eva
| mill the extraction fell from 96 to S3
in three days and in that time the
whole place was full of bagasse.
! Mr.. DEER said the question was a
mechanical one, relating to area of
crate bars. etc AS great efficiency
could be got. from fine as from coarse
bagasSe.
John M. Ross told of a breakdown
of nine weeks in Hakalau mill. when
| the extraction decreased from 95 to 90,
and they had hard time, getting
clear of the bagasse. ~ ...@-.s
G.. b. Wells. former manager of Wal
luku plantation. was asked by the
lfpresident to give the meeting the
benefit of his experience, as to the
lpracticability Of plantations making
their alcohol He replied that, with
the internal revenue tax and the COM
petition, 1t was found on the coast
that there was nothing in the manu-
tfaeture of alcohol as a <by-product. IT
would be a simple matter to turn the
trash into alcohol. but difficult to find
la market for It. There was more red
| tape about the internal revenue rules
than anything else he was acquainted
with. = >'.@.' y
