and county and other interesting and
important Information is conveyed in
the report of the finance committee OF
the supervisors to the board, submit
ted Wednesday night. 1t is published
below for the benefit of those inter
ested in municipal problems.
Your committee on finance and pub
lie expenditures. to whom was refer
red the subject of a bond issue to
meet expenditures for public improve
ments, reports as follows:
The subject which calls for immedL
ate consideration by the electorate
are roads, sewers and water mains.
Roads
The insistent public demand for
roads of the first quality, capable OF
standing up under the excessively
heavy requirements of today's traffic,
presents situation which can not be
met from ordinary revenue under the
present taxation rate. The entire
change In the nature of street traffic
the last ten years has rendered
the water bound crushed rock type OF
road, which was quite up to date when
put in, obsolete. Some of this con-
struction in residence districts with
oiled surface will render fair service
for some years to come. On main
thoroughfares this is not the case. The
increase in loads and high rate OF
speed of motor driven trucks, together
with occasional heavy loads on army
trucks, which do not come under the
narrow tire prohibition, presents a
problem which can only be solved by
concrete foundation, together with
such refinement in surfacing as the
owners, on whom 30 of the burden
will fall under the frontage tax law,
are willing, or are, able to bear. The
requirements of the residents of the
county might be met by a gradual i'm
provement of the roads. But that
course would not meet the situation
as 1T exists. The universal wish to
meet the expected increase III lOuIiSI
travel, so much desired by many
classes in the community. will only be
satisfied by an extreme effort In
road construction which will cost a
considerable sum of money. It is pro-
posed, therefore, and the committee
recommends, that there be submitted
to the electorate the question of au-
thorizing a bond issue to meet part
of the cost of new roa reconstruction.
1t is not proposed to abandon or relax
In the slightest degree the enforce
ment of the frontage tax law. The
road money desired is to enable the
city and county to meet the share
chargeable to it under the frontage
law. In this connection it is to be, re-
that the share of all ex-
empt frontages, both land in the con-
troll of the territory and land owned
and occupied by the federal govern
ment, fan upon the city and county.
The city and county's share in front
age proceedings now under way is as

The first meeting of Troop VI, after
the water works shows in detail upon
what street new mains are impera-
lively desired. II is absolutely unob-
jectionable to raise money on bond
issue for this purpose. The water
works produce a revenue in excess
of running cost, and the whole outlay
can be paid for from revenue.
Sewers ..:..-: -:
AS to sewers 1t is quite fitting to
put the cost in part on the coming
generation. Sewers should not be con.
sidered as a matter of luxury, for
which payment should be made for
use. This matter should be treated
from a public health standpoint. The
cost is the price we pay, and we
should eheerfully assume it, for pre-
serving the exceptionally favorable
health conditions with which nature
has blessed Hawaii. T.

The general situation therefore
fairly warrants submission to the
electorate of a bond proposition as to
a part OF the OUTLAWS necessary. In the
near future. The large total of the
public debt of the territory, however,
must be kept in sight. This now
reaches total of S9,000,000. The Re
public of Hawaii turned over the coun-
try to the United States with total
bonded debt OF only $4,000,60 all of
which was incurred under the mon
arehy. Against this the Republic of
Hawaii handed over to the United
States a cash balance of 81 ,009. 900
which was in its treasury at the time
annexation was carried into effect.
The rate of taxation has increased
only 27.100 of one per cent since an
Rexation, The one per cent rate pro-
duced sufficient revenue under the
Odd government because 1t was sup
Plemented by the custom revenues.
which OF course since annexation have
gone directly into the treasury of the
United States. This item had amount
ed from one million to one million
and two hundred thousand each year.
Having lost so much of its revenue
the country has made a wonderful
showing in getting on to this time
without any considerable increase in
the tax rate. The expenses of admin
istration under the system of govern
ment authorized by Congress for the
territory are very large. The reten-
ton of large spheres of governmental
powers by the territory after the es-
Enlistment of county government
may have strong reasons in it's sup
port, but PROFESSIONALLY Increases the
cost of government to the. people.
These matters are referred to merely
as index subjects to be followed up
by those who desires to make more
detailed study of the reasons why a
bond issue is now suggested
z The city and county is now paying,
as interest and sinking fund for debts
contracted by the territory. an aggre-
gate on $114,642.1S per annum. This,
is divided thus: -:
Waters and Sewers ......$ S6,423.5l
School and Belt Road Ex-
pended by Oahu Loan
q Fund Commission 49,. 2S,21S.62
Notwithstanding the reasons which
can be urged in favor of paying for
construction by bonds the committee
do not advise that the whole cost of
contemplated improvements be met
in that manner. In the opinion of the
committee part of the cost should
be met by an extra tax levy for say
three years for this city and county
Nothing toward that end can be ac-
complished at this time other than to
express hope that this board will
subsequently, at an appropriate time,
memorable the legislature upon this
subject.
