PLANS Of SEWER
SYSTEM FINISHED

In a very short time C"sspnOls
will be OF the past in the Kaihi dis
trict for the sewer department is Prac-
. tically ready to begin the installation
. of a sewer system for which the legs
lature appropriated $4,000.
Harry Murray, superintendent. has
announced that the plans ais SIC
cificatiOn had been completed by Fred
Hirchhoff, engineer, and they will be
submitted to the board Of supervis-
ors Wednesday for approval.
The district which is to be piped,
lies makai Of ming street to kalani
and mauka to Fernandez and Lakapu.
Eva the district ends at Puahale, Ban
mister and Gulick and Waikiki at Ka-
lihi.
1t is going 20 take $4,000 feet Of
pipe Of all sizes, or approximately six
miles, to cover the area outlined.
Twice attempts were made recently
to pass bond issues to pay for the in.
stallation of a sewer system in Kalihi
but the people turned them down at
plebiscites and then, the legislature
took the matter up and appropriated
tue money.

BOARD IS DISAPPOINTED
BY FISCAL YEAR RULING

Much to the disappointment of the
board of supervisors, A. NJ. Cristy,
deputy city attorney, has ruled that
the fiscal year Of the board is from
January to December 81.
II was ardently hoped that he would
decide IT was from June 80 to June
80, and now some of the members
have spoken of taking the matter in
TO their own hands. The report def
nitely states, however, that The fis-
cal year is not under the control OF
the board of supervisors as the legis-
Iature is the sole body to determine
Il.
One reason why the members Of the
board want the fiscal year to begin
July ! is because otherwise they
would not have two full years. Under
the ruling of the attorney they will
have a half year, then q full year and
finally another half year.

With LIBERTY loan OUT OF WAY
MONEY OUTLOOK IS FAIRLY CLEAR

dun reaction. In the industrial world
a high degree of uncertainty has been
injected by too many new Legislative
schemes introduced into Congress
Some Of these measures ma be wise
and necessary purely as war meas
ures; but they are nevertheless dls
G. ncerting and unsettling for the time
being. The liquor industry has been
seriously upset by the prohibition tea'
lures. thrust as a rider upon the food
control bill. The last named measure
will affect a very wide range or IN
dustries, from the farmer to the retail
err. Enactment of legislation for con-
troll OF export trade, also an act reg
ulating trading with the enemy, are
laws likely to lead to a good deal or
uncertainty. Almost every depart
ment Of business is more or less un'
settled by these new conditions. That
prices Of many articles are excessive
is granted Initiation and high prices
are inevitable economic consequences
of war. Every effort should be taken
to prevent greed taking undue advan-
tagC of the situation; but, however,
idealistic and patriotic we may feel,
and however we may rebel at high
prices, the solid fact cannot be ig-
nored that nothing cures the scarcity
which causes high prices quicker than
high prices themselves. To force
prices of copper or steel down to
point that might be fair profit to
the low cost producers would simply
result in wholesale shutdown Of pro-
ducCrs less favorably cirCumStanced;
thus aggravating a bad situation by
further shortening Of supplies. Pre-
sident Wilson'S criticisms of the ship
ping industry were doubtless justified
and will probably do good; yet were
it not for the high prices which ships
command and the profits they can
earn, there would have been no such
herculean efforts TO build ships as
are now being made. The United
States, Great Britain, Norway, Japan
{ d other nations are bending every
energy to turn out ships as quickly
as possible; and the output will far
exceed any previous efforts through
out the world. Here again high prices
are the quickest cure for arrangement
arising from war or the submarine
campaign.
One feature OF real Encouragement
was the last government crop report.
1t suggested a crop Of 3,124,00O,0OO
bushels Of corn, which almost equals
the bumper crop OF 1912, when the
price was about 80 cents. as against
nearly So now. This enormous in !
crease in the money v?Iue Of corn
will be powerful stimulus in the
West, The wheat crop has also much
improved in condition, indicating 22,-
100000 bushels more than a month
ago. The mos sensational gain was
In the potato crop, which promises
452, 900 bushels, compared with
S5,000,0C0 last year All things con-
tie agricultural outlook is ,
good. No serious shortages are in .
prospect, and hieh prices amply Off /
set increased costs Of production.

the offensive against the German armies on

Nearly one-thlrd OF the Rumanian army

was recalled that week ago. while the bin
was under consideration, tt was said that
Mr.. Burlcsou intended tp provide motor
transportation Of the mails, even If Con-
gress should appropriate the money for the
tubes.
Representative Moon. Tennessee, chair
man Of the House POstoGiCc Committee,
who framed tho Postmaster Generals bill,
asserted positively that the mere anpro-
priatiou Of money for the tubes would not
insure their operation
He pointed out the fact that u commits
sion Of the Postonce Department had in
vestiEated the need and praCticlbiltv Of
the tube service. He said that New York
was the only city for which this commission
favored the tubes. In view of that fact,
he said, Mr., Burlesou could only invite bids
for tubes for New York,

Postmaster General to continue the opera
tion of the tubes in the four cities where
he favors their abandonment" said Repre-
