LOCAL MAHUKA
INTERESTS TO
BE REIMBURSED
Expense Due to Change in Fed
eral Site to Be Handled BY
Congressional Bill
BY c. S. ALBERT
Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondencel

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. l.
Within the next few days a bill will
be introduced in Congress to provide
for the reimbursing of a number OF
Honolulu people who lost considerable
money through the change of the loca-
ton of the Federal building from the
Mahuka to the Irwin site. E. o. Hall
& Sons, the Austin estate, the Cum
mings estate and others are specific
ally mentioned in the bill. The vari-
GUS claimants desire to be reimbursed
to the extent of about $4,000, the
amounts varying in size from the larg-
est, that of something over $4,000
which the Austin estate claims to
have spent, to much smaller sums on
the part of others. ...-. .
. These claims, which will probably
be included in the omnibus claims
bill, are for the service of attorneys
and expert witnesses needed in the
condemnation suits brought by the
United States when it thought that it
wanted the Mahuka site for the Homo
lulu Federal building. When the
change was made to the Irwin site
they were left without other recourse
for securing the money they had spent
than through such special legislation
as is now being asked. .

Financial Report
Of Clifside Park

The little suburban community of
the Palisades known famliiary as
Cliffside Park last year put it's hand
down in it's jeans and paid over it's
counter $514,021.84. Some sum, you
say. Right; but it costs towns money
to live, just as it does you and me- I
must pay money to keep myself in
health: so must my town. Last year
it cost Cliffside Park, in doctors, !"
or health, bills, just $642.20. If I
want to get "iddycated," must pay
for it; somebody must be paid for
teaching me. Cliffside Park paid for
getting itself taught last year just
$27,294.76; that is, for teaching fees,
or salaries. If I want to make a
place for myself to be taught in, I
must give up something for it. Last
year my town "gave up" the neat sum
of 0,362.81 as two-thirds payment
on a brand new teaching place, the
new high school. Harris, Forbes &
Co., of New York City, advanced the
money, $106, $1,000, the same to be
paid back during this and later gen.
erations.
Again, just as I must pay my shoe
maker, laundryman, haberdasher and
others for my upkeep, so my town has
regular bills for it's physical main
tenance: it must have its clerk, col
lector, engineers, road master, at
torney, and other services and sup

Dangerous Form Of
Toy Pistol Discovered

A new toy pistol has made it's ap-
fireworks in this town which is clear
ly violation Of the law. 1t is cast
iron affair, so arranged as to be suit
able for blank cartridges. Not only
can blanks be used but ball cartridges
could be inserted without difficulty,
thereby making it dangerous
weapon in the hands of youngster
and coming within the limits of the
law relating to concealed weapons.
The pistol itself is dangerous, for an
improper explosion of cartridge
might cause it to burst in the hands
of the holder and possibly inflict seri-
Gus injury.
That the purpose of the gun is
clearly for the use of cartridges is in

plies. Last year these grooming"
expenses amounted to $5,229.18. Of
course, much heavier expenditures
were needed to protect it's life and to
ward off fire and violence. These cost
some $4,000. l spoke of the towns
education as costing for teaching
alone some $4,000. Well, the grand
total for the cost of the towns school
ing was just twice that, or $685.
791.97. This included school supplies
of all kinds and the usual other run
ming expenses of three schools, janit-
ors and so on. Of course, of this
amount, the State of New Jersey and
OUT f-town pupils contributed $751;
276.76.
just as a person sometimes must
pay money to another for board and
lodging, so a town must pay toward
the support of it's elder brother, or
county and State Cliffside Park
paid for this support last year the
county taxes for 1914 and 1915, $751;
247.59. The town also must pay off
each year certain debts such as for
public buildings, schools, sewers and
street improvements. Last year the
total expense for such improvements
in the form of certificates of indebt-
ness payments was $372,666.86. In
the Finance Report issued by the
borough no information is given as to
where the money came from for this
tremendous item, nor for just what
items it was paid.
just as my living is dependent on
what l have in my pocket, so every
thing that goes on in the borough is
at bottom question of finance. How
much can I spend for so and so?
Well, that depends upon how much
l have and how much | am likely to
have; likewise on how much l might
be able to borrow; it also depends on
how much and for what I owe and
am in debt already. Cliffside Park,
by the simple process of deciding on
how many dollars it would like each
year on every hundred dollars of my
real and personal property determines
what it's yearly income shall be. Last
year every $500 of property paid into
those who paid. Only about half of
us did. This year there are rumors
that the rate will go over $500. The
total amount turned in to Collector
Sheehan last year for taxes with in
terest for the last Mise years was
Sill, 1854. Under Collectors Re-
ceipts it will be seen that the coll
lector received in addition $96,082.68,
the greater part of which, however,
was an advance by Harris, Forbes G.
Company for the building of our new
sewer system.
The foregoing is an attempt to set
forth in as simple and Illuminating
manner as possible a few of the out
standing features of one of the most
vital departments of the borough's
life. An itemized account, or fnan-
cial report, has been prepared by the
borough's financial officers, copies of
which may be obtained by citizens
upon application to Clerk Renter at
Cliffside Borough Hall.
