How New War Savings Stamps Will Help
the Thrifty to Save and at the Same Time
Lend Assistance to the U. S. Government

The war-savings plan provided for in the last bond
act of September "a, 1917 has been formulated and
announced by the Treasury Department and went in
to operation on Monday, December 3.
The plan puts it easily in reach of every American
citizen to save money and at the time aid the
Government by supplying it with the slnews OF war
Stamps which are the Governments certificates OF
Indebtedness, are to be sold in two denominations
thrift stamps which cost rs cents each, and warsaw
ings stamps which cost from 4.12 to $423 each,
according to the month in which they purchased
CARD GIVEN EACH PURCHASERS.
With the first thrift stamp the purchaser is given
thrift card with space for 16 stamps When 10
thrift stamps have been purchased and affixed the
thrift card can be exchanged for war-savngs stamp
bv paving the difference between the $4 the thrift
stamps represent and the current value OF warsaw
ings stamp, which in December 1917, and January,
1918, will be $4.12 and thereafter cent tor each
succeeding month during the year 1918.
With the first war-savings stamp obtained by pur-
chase or exchange the owner is given war-savlngs
certificate containing spaces for 20 war-savlngs
stamps. # the 20 spaces are filled during December,
1917 or January, 1918, the cost to the purchaser
will be $412 for each stamp $82.4O for the full
certificate and on the 1st day of january, 1923, the
Government will redeem the certificate at $780, CIV
ING the holder net profit Of for the of his
money.
MAY BE REDEEMED ANY TIME.
Although these investments do not mature until
January l. 1923, provision is made whereby upon 10
days. written notice after January l, 1918 such GER
tifcaes will be redeemed by postmasters at their cost
to the purchasers plus l cent month on each war
savings stamp on the certificate
The thrift stamps do not bear interest, but the war
savings stamps bear per cent compounded quarter
w. The certificates will be dated January 2, 1918,
and mature January /, 1928.
Under the plan amount as small as rs cents can
be invested in Government security, and as soon as
81 has been thus invested interestbearing certf
cate Of the United States Government can be secured.
ON SALE AT MANY PLACES.
The stamps and certificates can be obtained from
post Offices banks, trust companies, at most rail
road stations, stores, factories and many other public
places.
Having the entire wealth Of the United States back
of then and being redeemabe as above stated there
is no danger of any depreciation in value of the
tfcates.

Board of Supervisors Discards
Project of Planning Commits
sion for Alternative Proposal

Hawaii street is to be the mauka
outlet for the Puunui district.
After many months of wrangling,
filled with plans and counter plans,
the board OF supervisors Tuesday
evening by a sudden change of heart
turned down Circle drive. objected to
by the Country Club and George
Sherman, and, making Hawaii street
the eastern boundary OF the Puunul
district, thus cutting out any chance
of Circle drive again entering into the
discussion, chose Hawaii street extern
SIGN the outlet Charles n. Arnold
and B., F. Hollinger were the only
members who stood by the former de-
cision of the board. They fought
hard for Circle drive, but were I'M
able to stem the tide
Arnold, chairman OF the road COM
mittee, began the argument by NOV
ing that the board reiterate its former
stand and adopt Circle drive as rec
commended By the city planning COM
mission.
Hatcn Moves Reconsideration
Whatever chance Circle drive had
of winning, however, was killed by
F. NJ. Hatch, the next speaker, who
moved that the decision OF the board
be reconsidered and Hawaii street
made the mauka boundary Of the dis
trict because the district is too large.
The board has done good work, 4"
Hatch said, but has, played fast and
loose with the law. i ne Legislature
has not given us a definite law, espe
cially as to what is main thorough
fare, and also believe that the
amount. the city is to pay towards an
improvement should be fixed accord
ing to the district. The 4aw does not
give the board power to buy land as
our share Of the improvement" he
declared, He then Inconsistency sug-
gested that the entire district be made
an Improvement district as proposed
by the planning commission, which
would naturally include Circle drive.
Arnold denied that the board has
played fast and loose with the law,
declaring that every step was taken
on advice of the city attorneys office
and called on William Garden, deputy
city attorney, to explain, the, legal
steps. -
Puunui District different"
"The steps taken by the board are
legal" Garden said, although just in
side. Puanui is different from all
other districts. 1t resembles :. a
Ratchet, with Puunui the blade ana
Circle drive the handle, and the lat
ter is to be -self-supporting. although
only benefiting the blade. II the city
did not buy the land over which the

Logan then put the finishing
touches to the death OF Circle drivc
| by announcing that he, too, would
vote for Hawaii street. He expla ned
his change Of opinion by saying that
he had voted before for Circle drive
, against his own belief. He claimed

stance. There is plenty of room there

OF his vote.

Votes Are Taken
A vote was then taken 10 reconsider
the former decision and it prevailed
and Hatch moved again to make Ha-
vail the eastern boundary.
Logan moved that the boundary run
to the end of the residence district
to take advantage of the $4,000 offer
OF the Country Club and George Sher-
man, and Hatch agreed.
Larsen then stood out for some out
let, declaring that il a straight road
was impossible, let's have crooked
enc.
Horner announced that he didn't
agree with any of the propositions
and tried to enter plan of his own,
but got no following.
Arnold Makes Last Effort
Arnold then made last appeal for
Circle drive Previously movement
had started to again postpone the de-
cision to a future meeting, but Arm
old declared it should be settled
now. THE decision of the best out
let was turned over to the city plan
ming commission because it is dis
interested body" he said. This
board is naturally political and likely
to be influenced and for that reason
the commission was formed to settle
just such questions as this. This
seems to be the time when the fool
and not the wise man changed his
mind" he added. and moved that
Circle, drive be adopted. On the vote
which followed, however, Hawaii
street won. Seeing then that he was
defeated, Arnold made the best Of
it by moving that Hawaii ae made the
