Editor MAUI News,
Dear Sir:


In the late issues of both the
News and the Weekly Times it
would appear that the Maui Board
of Supervisors is about to issue
proclamation calling for a Plebis-
cite to decide the question of
whether, or not, the County OF
Maui shall float bonds for the con-
struction of certain specified inn
provements, within the County.
Calling a special election by our
Board of Supervisors, as well as
the floating of County bonds, is a
new departure, which has never
been done before, which fact it
would seem, should require the
most careful tho't and the fullest
public discussion.
Simply because a special cleo
tiou has never before been called
by our Board of Supervisors, is,
certainly, no reason why a Plebis-
cite should not be called, but it,
certainly, is a reason why the
question should be we'll considered
and a we'll defined and strong de-
mand for such Plebiscite made,
by, at least, large minority of our
citizens. Is there such a demand
at this time?
The expenses of a special cleo
ton will cost the County not less
than $500 90, and should not cost
more than 100000.
Giving due publicity to a pro-
clamation, preparations for holding
the Plebiscite, ETC., will require, or
should require, not less than sixty
days, which would bring the date
of holding this Plebiscite, not
earlier than the First of June, only
about five months before the date
of the general election. Again is
there such a demand for a Plebis-
cite that such Plebiscite cannot
waituntil the general election, there
by saving the expense required for
a special election as we'll as giving
our citizens more time to consider
the very serious question of start
ing to issue County bonds?
We are told by members of the
Board of Supervisors, who are, or
should be, in position to know,
that the income of the County this
year, will be very materially re-
duced from what it was last year,
1918. According to the County
Auditors annual report for 1913,
last years income was much less
than Our income for the year 1912.
Owing to this years great shrink
age in the income of the County
as compared to the preceding
years, the Board of Supervisors are,
and very properly so, making great
reductions in the running expenses
of the various departments, in
other words economy" is the
watch-word. Is it economy to ex-
pend S5OO.OO to 100000 for a
special election when a general
election, with its necessary expen-
ses, is within five months of being
held?
As far as the writer can learn,
the main project for which this
Plebiscite is to be called, is for q
large reservoir for the conservation
of storm waters, for sale thru the
Kula pipeline system.
Without discussing the necessity
or propriety of this project, would
it not be wiser, for our Board OF
Supervisors, to expend the funds
necessary for a Plebiscite, in the
purchase and installation of wood
ell tanks along the mains of the
Kula pipeline system, rather thar
a special election, inasmuch as the
general election is so near at hand
AT least by so doing there would be

CUBS VS. ASAHI.

Capt. Masaichi of the Asahi
team was a surprised man when
the Young Cubs swatted Manao' 5
delivery and scored 8 runs in the
first inning. The Japanese woke
up and made runs i'll the same
inning, but the Asahi held the
Cubs down for the next three in
nings. The Asahi scored , more
runs i'll the second and in the third
Tommy Cummings curves looked
good to the Asahi batters, and
they scored I runs after making
some good bingles i'll the center
garden; they added another run in
the fourth. The Cubs Tailed 5
runs in the fourth and tied the
score, %. There was nothing do
ing for the little men in the fifth
and sixth while the Cubs gathered
in one run in the seventh. At this
stage of the game, there was some
excitement and everybody got up
OH their feet Then the Japanese
came to bat in the seventh and tied
the score again. The Cubs failed
to tally in the eighth and Subaro,
of the Asahi, made the circuit OF
the diamond in this inning and
brought home the winning run for
his team. For the last inning NJ,
Oliveira was out on a fly to Subaro;
Ben Kaumeheiwa walked to first,
and Dan Ksimina popped a fly into
the waiting hands of Morishige at
first and made a double play. The
game ended with the score of II tC
10 in favor of the men from the
land of the Cherry Blossom.

KAHULUI VS.. c. a. c.

In the first game, the kahuluis
went to bat and were retired in
short order for the first three in
nings, During the first inning the
c. A. c. boys slugged the offering
of the new Kahului pitcher, NJ .
Drummer, to all corners of the field
and netted 7 runs, and gathered
more runs III the second and l in
the third. Ant. Morris opened the
fourth for the Kahuluis, by polling
liner to centerield and advanced
to third on a two-base hit by Tom
Holstein, and scored the first run
on a wild throw from centerfeld to
catcher, and then two railroad BOYS
romped home making 5 runs. In
the fourth and fifth innings, both
teams tailed | run each. Kamioka
of the Kahuluis, scored the only
run for his team in the sixth while
Abe Kekipi and All You, by good
base running, made two runs fol
the c. A. c. For the rest of the
game, the Kahuluis scored 2 runs
i'll the ninth and the c. A. c.
gathered 4 runs in the seventh, the
c. a. c. boys were declared victors
by an overwhelming score of II
to 6.
