I'VE tried to open up an eastern
market, but the pineapples have been
arriving on the coast in such poor
condition that we found that they
could not stand the shipment East.
Car loads of pines were sent to Kansas
City, Chicago, Denver and St Louis.
Most of these turned out unsatisfac-
tory, a great many Of the. pines be-
coming affected with black rot in the
core. For this reason shipments to
the East have been cut down, and
only such fruit that is not in danger
OF being affected is shipped at the pre-
sent time.

The cable reports from San Fran
cisco on the last few cargoes show
that the fruit grown by the home
steaders at Aiea is going through first

being only 5 per cent Fruit grown
in some of the other sections on Oahu
has spoiled at as high a rate as so

vision thinks it best to adhere to the
Pacific coast for a while The express
carton shipments to different parts of
the states will be continued, he adds.
Several thousand tons of pineapples
grown by Japanese on this island,
and which threatened to. spoil if left
in the fields, were generously taken
over by several of the canneries in
order that the japanese might not suf-
fer the entire loss of their product
AS a result the total output of these
canneries was materially increased

Very truly yours,
&C. j. MCCARTHY,
Treasurer, Territory of Hawaii
No Comment On System.
Mr.. Drummond's report follows:
Hon c. j. Mccarthy,
Treasurer, Territory of Hawaii,
Honolulu, T. H.
Dear Sir:-I beg to submit here
with statement of condition of the
CITY and county of Honolulu for the
period extending from June l, 1915, to
and including November 80, 1915.
81 have no comment to make of the
system of keeping the various &C.
counts by the auditor or the trea-
surer.
However, / desire to- call the at
tention of the mayor and the board
of supervisors to the following condi-
ton.
"The treasurer's books show that he
had registered up to and including
November 80, 1915, warrants amount
ing approximately to $164,000 on
which the city and county pays 3
per cent interest per annum.
"The books further show $82,16425
in the cash basis fund lying idle.
Act 142 of the Session Laws of 1913
(Seetion 105A) gives the treasurer the
power to transfer from time to time
from the cash basis fund to any other
fund or funds such amount or amounts
as may be required to place such 9th
err fund or funds as nearly as possible
on a cash basis.
"The amount to the credit of the
cash basis fund this day is sos, 1890
which amount becomes available on
January 1, 1916 for the purpose men.
toned in said Act 142, Section 105A
of the Session Laws of 1913, but ]
am given to understand that a large
portion of this fund is on deposit in
different banks for period of six
months at 2 per cent per annum while
the county is paying 5 per per annum
on its registered warrants amounting
approximately this day to $95,500.
is False Economy" -. ~:
4 am further given to understand
that the county will continue to reg.
lister warrants until the receipt of
taxes in May, 1916. The tying up of
the cash basis fund in the banks at
2 per cent per annum appeals to me
as false economy. .=~
Il would also like to call the atten.
ton of the mayor and board of super.
yisors to the fact that the total appTo-
