NO REAL Deficit
in CITY funds,
CLAINOF LOGAN
Chairman Finance Committee
OF Board Of Supervisors
= Explains Finances "

That in reality the city and county
OF Honolulu has not q deficit but a
surplus Of over $4,000, is the state.
ment made today by Dan Logan, chair.
man OF the finance committee OF the
board Of supervisors. T.
Logan bases his statement on the
fact that when, the cash basis fund
was established the taxes we're not
Eaibed prDportionately to take care OF
both the fund and the general city ex.
peHsesr II the cash basis fund was
turned into the general fund today
we would be ahead" he claims. "As
1t stands now the city simply has not
enough money to pay for the running
expenses, and that is the reason why
the finance committee only made the
appropriation bill for three months,
expecting that the legislature will re-
adjust the taxes" Logan also says
that the fiscal year Is not Up until
June 80, 1917. and the board there
fore. has six months still to straighten
ont It's affairs. =.
Auditor Bicknell Is quoted IN the
Star-Bulletin as saying that the re,
duction OF the general fund deficit was
due to the increased revenue and not
to any economies practised by the su.
peryisors." Logan added.
AT the same time he gives the re-
ceipts for 1916 as $735.741.s0, whiie
his official report for 1915 gives NE
receipts for that year as 1892, ,42t-14.

RUM0R FORBES WILL NOT
RETURN is BRANDED AS
FALSE By MRS. FORBES

Superintendent of Public Works
Charles r. Forbes has not the slight
est intention of leaving Hawaii per
manently on his present mainland
trip. Mrs. Forbes said emphatically
this morning, in refutatioh OF an Ad-
yertiser article limiting that the super
intendent might not return.
There Is not vestige Of truth to
dignity the rumor.s" says Mrs. Forbes.
'.Mr. Forbes has gone solely because
Of his health, has left everything here
to be taken up on his return, and win
be home as soon as be is rested from
overwork. He may possibly go to Bos-
ton where his sister has private
hospital for an operation which he may
be advised in San Francisco TO un-
dergo. The story that he might not
come back to hawaii is both ridicu-
loHs and unjust"

Busy With Food Survey
Throughout Pennsylvania

State and Federal agents who are
assigned to the food. survey of the
wholesale and retail groceries of the
State have about completed their plan
and the inquiry will be extended from
Blair and Butler counties to a num-
ber of others in industrial sections.
1t is not the plan to have the inspec-
tions made in contiguous counties
but to jump about the State. follow
ing up districts where reports have
been made of shortage of food or of
other conditions.
Later on the large counties will be
visited and studies made of the con-
ditions. The municipal authorities of
the cities will be asked to assist in
getting the information.
The plan adopted is that the grocers
will be asked to set down on report
blanks which are furnished state
ments of the stocks of foods of vari-
Gus kinds they have on hand and also
to give information regarding orders
given but on which goods have not
been delivered. the idea being to get
first-hand data about the amount OF
food held in the grocery and provision
establishments of the State. The in
formation will be assembled here and
when the reports of the cold storage
warehouses, TO be made next month
are In hand the authorities will be
able for the first time to tell how
much food is held in Pennsylvania.
While this food inquiry is going on
special attention is being given to
the sanitary conditions under which
feds are sold.
