HILo's GOOD MOVE.

Good news comes from HilO. The railroad,
hotel and transportation interests have come
together to adjust their rates to end tile cut
throat competition that has resulted in doing
some things both below cost and without best
efficiency, and pleasant of ALTO get
away from the knocking that too much rivalry
sometimes produces. Not only will the island
interests benefit, but the visitor will be pro
tected from any exOrbitant charges which
irresponsible smaller fry might try to put
over Service, it is expected, will be better.
As an instance of what too much competition
in a community such as Hlo-or Honolulu, for
that matter-can produce, this incident was
related to the Star Bulletin last week the
personal experience of Honolulu business
man. He took long auto-ride in the Crescent
City, part of it involving some hard climbing
by the car he had hired. At the end he asked
the chauffeur what the charge would be. /"
''Seventy-five cents, said the man.
"That was so ridiculously low said the
businessman, telling of the incident, ''that |
gave the man dollar and half, which was a
fair price. j" 4
The Publicity Commission, under which the
Iilo service is to be worked out, is getting
results. ....s.

TUESDAY JANUARY II. 1916.
THE HIGH COST OF SPENDING A CITY
DOLLAR

The territorial grand iury's report on roads
may enlighten those perpleXed citizens who
wonder how the city over-ran its income last
year by $4,000 with no more showing than
it has made in results.
The grand jury cites figures from the city
engineers report giving expenditures of road
moneys. These figures show that in the Homo
lulu road department $50, 44S IA went for main
tenance and $30,27S.69 for overhead improve
ment And the jurors comment as follows:
"The expenditure of $4,000 for mainten-
ance, at cost of $4,000 in overhead expense
shows that for each dollar so expended it cost
8012 cents. This is bad enough showing but
take into consideration that the money actually
spent for maintenance is probably not more
than 80 per cent efficient and you have state
of affairs that is appalling"
Appalling indeed!
For each dollar expended in other districts
the cost is similarly given as follows:
Eva district, lao cents; Waianae district,
3716; Waialua district, 64.20; Koolauloa dis
trict, $3.50; Koolaupoko district, $3.50.
The er-appropriations of 1915, amounting
to $147,000 are not of course entirely due to
the high cost of running the road department.
1t appears to be the high cost of running every
thing in the city 1t would be interesting to
know how much it costs to spend dollar in
other branches of the city government.
Very likely the supervisors will take vigor-
Gus exception to the figures and conclusions
presented by the grand jurors If there is a
discrepancy, the city fathers are entitled to
their explanation.

AUTOS AND ACCIDENTS.

Though deaths and serious injury caused by
automobiles have increased with alarming
rapidity in Hawaii during the past five years,
it is not likely that in comparison with the
increase in the number of cars the accidents
have grown.
Nationally it has been proved that the dead
illness of the auto" is not upon the relative in
crease The census bureau has compiled some
mortality statistics which show that the num-
Der of autos in the United States has increased
more than twice as rapidly as the number Of
fatalities caused by them.
AT the close of 1909, according to figures
compiled by the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce, of New York City, from state
registration reports due allowance being made
for duplicate registrations, the number of au-
tomobies in use in the United States was APP
proxicately 100000; by the close of 1913 it had
risen to 1,270,0O0; and year later, at the end
of 1914, it was 1,750,000
In the meantime the number of deaths due
to automobile accidents and injuries increased
from 632 in the death-registration area in 1909,
containing 80 per cent of the population of the
United States, to 1923 in the same area in 1914;
and the increase from 1913 to 1914 for the reg
istration area as constituted in 1913, then con
tanning 65 per cent of the population of the
country, was from 24S8 to 2795.
Thus a five-year increase of 755 per cent
accepting as reliable the figures compiled by
the National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce-in number of machines has been accom-
panied by an increase of 315 per cent in auto
mobile fatalities; and one-year increase of SO
per cent In the number of machines has been
accompanied by an increase of II per cent in
fatalities.
The figures may be consoling to the stats
tician but so far as the pedestrian is concerned
they carry little comfort. In Honolulu, for in
stance, where the number of autos has grown
more than 100 per cent in the ive-year period,
the pedestrian is likely to figure that he has
twice as many chances of getting hit as form
erly. The increase in population has certainly
not been sufficient to spread the accidents
around over twice as many innocent bystanders
as FIVE years ago

A New Orleans paper, reporting the killing
of two entirely innocent bystanders by a we'll
known Louisianan, says that several months
previous the man who did the killing had been
sent to sanitarium. Because of his proni
hence in business, politics and social affairs
his friends asked that publicity be withheld
regarding the facts of his condition, which was
higly dangerous. The newspapers charitably
refrained from telling the whole truth, with the
somewhat usual result that pretty soon his
friends thought it would be all right to free
him. They did SO and the man shot and killed
two people without the slightest proyocation.
A little publicity earlier in the day would prob
ably have resulted in the authorities keeping a.
closer watch. e. ~---,..
