c. G. Ballentyne, general manager
of the Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land
Company, in announcing the policy of
the company to be followed until the
franchise extension bill is passed by
Congress and accepted by the board
of directors, declared this morning
that no extension of street car lines
will be made, no double-tracking un-
dertaken, or other improvements
which would mean an outlay of large
sums of money. q,
Until the bill is finally accepted by
the board of directors after receiving
the signature of the president, the
company will mark time" as far as
improvements go. And as for the long
discussed extension to Pearl Harbor,
that will not be undertaken until the

using his phrase, In other words, the
extension cannot be looked for until
the drydock is completed, he said.
This is in direct line with the state
ment made by L. Tenney Peck. pres
ident Of the company, and published
in the Star-Bulletin several months
ago. He said at that time that the
company would not be justified in 60
ing ahead with extensive improve
ments until it was assured that the
franchise extension bill, passed by
the last session Of the legislature, sue
ceeded in passing Congress.
The question came up to Mr.. Ballen-
tyne from information gived him of
a complaint made from Fort Shafter
of the car service to the garrison. Re.
plying to the complaint, he said that
the service to Fort Shafter was as
good as to any other part of town, that
it was ahlesto handle the crowds with
out unreasonable delay and incon-
venience.

is disposition to swing the axe on
the police department, and swing il
hard. The fact that the department is
costing s120,000 year has stirred up
questions as to the return the city is
getting for its money. Ii is declared
that the bulk OF the police work is
now done by the detective bureau and
that Sheriff Jarrett's administration

theory of Henry George can only be
reached through a long educational
campaign and the present desire is
for q quick system of equalization of
taxation.
