After a short session, the board of
the Library of Hawaii late this after
noon voted to adjourn until January,

latter required by the territorial gov
ernmen every two years. The Jan
uary meeting enables one set OF re-
ports to do for both purposes.
President a. Lewis. Jr., presided at
the meeting. and presented his resig
nation as head of the board. having
served since its organization. Rev
W. D. Westervelt has been appointed

H|LO TRACTION
HEAD OBJECTS
TO Interest
ShingIe Writes Governor That
Company May Sell Bonds for
Less Than s Per Cent

Replying to the letter from Gov,
ernor Pinkham. which was published
yesterday in the Star-Bulletin as a
part OF the correspondence read at
the meeting OF the land board, Robert
w. Shing1e, president Of the Hilo
Traction Company, has informed the
governor that the terms suggested by
him are satisfactory 10 the company,
with the exception of one part, the
payment OF s per cent interest to all
persons concerned on the cost OF the
plant.
As stated yesterday the governor
proposes that the plant shall pay the
nominal sum OF one dollar a year to
the government for the first 10 years
of it's existence, and for 20 years
thereafter shall pay for metered pow
er at the regular rate Of cost Of any
other power than water.
Mr.. Shingles letter is as follows:
October Is, 1915.
The Honorable Luclus E. Pinkham,
Governor, Territory Of Hawaii,
Honolulu.
Sir: Your letter Of the 18th inst.
outlining the conditions you are pre-
pared to present to the Board of Land
Commissioners of a license to use the
waters Of the Wailuku river at Hilo
for electric car generating purposes
for the use and benefit of the Hilo
Traction Company has been received,
and ! now desire in my capacity as
president of the Hilo Traction Com
,pany to advise you that the condi-
tions as outlined in your letter are
satisfactory to the Hilo Traction Com.
pany, Ltd, with the exception Of that
paragraph providing for the payment
Of 6 per cent interest to the parties
concerned on the cost Of the power
plant.
This proViso would require the
company to pay per cent interest on
bonds IL they should be fIoated for
this purpose, while il the proviso be
eliminated, they might be floated at
lower rate; or, on the other hand, If
the plant is built out of the proceeds
Of stock, it is possible the enterprise
may not be able to pay as much.
AS the matter Of interest is one that
concerns the stockholders chiefly, we
would respectfully suggest that this
requirement be eliminated.
The sinking fund provision is all
right.
Very respectfully yours,
ROBERT W. SINGLE"
