SALARY SLASHES
ARE PROMISED in
COUNTY OF HAWAII

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
HILO, July 3.-County Clerk John
K. Kai is authority for the statement
that further deep salary slashes and
sundry additional economies will not
be necessary by the board of super
yisors this month or for the next quar-
ter to wipe out the big debt Hawaii
county has been facing the last sev-
eral months. The tax returns, he
says, have been considerably in ex-
cess of the amount anticipated, and
after careful figuring he expressed
the opinion this week that by pur-
suing its present course the. county
board will "see daylight ahead" long
before the end of the year.
From the territory the county re-
ceived something like 100000 in
June, and after paying current bills
the county has been able to reduce its
overdraft to $56,S74.54. The receipts
to the county from the semi-annual
payment of liquor licenses is expected
to be about $4,000, and the second
instalment of tax receipts from the
territory is due in November. Kai
figures that with the arrival of the
second instalment the last of the
long-standing registered warrants can
be paid and the county once more
cleared of debt. This, however, is on
condition that the present plan of Sc
verest economy is pursued undeviat
ingly

'askt" the State Board of Education
to consider the "adviZability" Of using

The committee urges the desirable

line.
List is Proposed.
The members Of the committee say
they are not prnpagandist3, but at
the same time they recommend the
application of certain rules for the
simplification of words, and urge that
the simplified spelling Of all words in
the recommended list at least be &C
cepted as correct" in State textbooks
According to this list. as transmitted
to Superintendent Hyatt, the normal
schools would recognize that it is cor
rect to say:

Third Voluntary Reduction by
Corporation in Last Few
Years Is Announced

A 20 per cent cut in electric light
rates, to go into effect tomorrow, was
announced today by the Hawaiian
Electric Company, Ltd. The rate for
kflowatt is reduced from 121s cents
to 10 cents. The reduction affects all
classes of users. d.,
The business of the company is
such that it can afford to lower its
rates and share its profits with its
customers" is the simple but optimis-
tic explanation given by F. T.. Blake,
the company's general manager.
This is the third voluntary reduc.
tion in rates made by the electric com.
pany in less than five years. In May.
1910, there was a cut from " to 10
cents. In May, 1918, this was lowered
to 121a cents Honolulu electric light
consumers will now be paying one
third less on their monthly bills than
they did five years ago. T..
I'VE have always gone on a policy
of voluntarily regulating our rates on
the basis OF our profits said Manager
Blake In casting up accounts for
the past year and looking over the
ptOopcCIS IOI I5I0 VIC EfdAu VIC dAc yuc'
titled in charging less than we nave.
We did the same two years ago. That
Is the way we have always done hUsi.
ness with the public and We have
found it pays.
II doubt IL there is any city In the
United States the size Of Honolulu,
with the possible exception OF those in
California, where electric light devel-
oped from water power, Is being sold
as cheap as It Is here.
Although the report for the 1914
business has not been completed, Mr.
Blake said II would show q continua
tion of the steady growth that has
marked past years This growth has
been equally divided in the last year
between the domestic and commercial
branches Of the service
Although there have been changes
in the city's population there has been
q steady increase, is the conelusson
drawn from this. On the commercial
side there has also been slight m
crease, which is considered signia-
