MONEY RAISED
FOR COMPLETION
KULA RESERVOIR
Banks And Others Take Bonds Suf-
fcient To Finish Pro-
ject At 0linda
SIX MONTHS BUDGET APPROVED

The Board of Supervisors held their
final January meeting Monday even
ing, beginning at $3.50 o'clock, all
members except Messrs. Drummond
and Uahinui being present.
One of the most important matters
taken up was that of disposing of the
bonds for the completion of Olinda
reservoir, in connection with which
the following letter from c. d. Luf-
kin, vice president and manager of
the Bank of Maui, Ltd, was read:
If 1 am correctly informed, the
completion of the Olinda Reservoir
by the application of a cement lining,
is dependent upon your honorable
board being able to find a purchaser
for the Territorial Improvement bonds
thereby obtaining funds with which
to carry out the work. l am further
informed that these funds have been
made available with the exception of
100000. Our Board of Directors
look upon this project as of prime
importance to many residents of Kula,
and the Board has this day authorized
me to purchase the 100000 worth
of bonds above mentioned.
"If it is true that the balance of
the funds are in sight and that the
sale of the 100000 496 bonds to
the Bank of Maui, Ltd, will enable
your honorable board to proceed with
the work, this bank stands ready to
purchase the bonds, and awaits your
advice"
The clerk was instructed to inform
Mr.. Lufkin that an assurance of
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1918-01-18

stated that the sale of $4,000 of
bonds was made necessary, and that
all but $4,000 had been disposed of
He thought that the Chamber should
get back of the proposition and take
steps to raise the required balance.
Mr.. H. A. Baldwin moved, seconded
by Mr.. VIM. Walsh, that the chair ap-
point a committee with authority to
endeavor to raise $4,000. H. A. Bald
win, c. d. Lufkin and D. G. Lindsay
were appointed.
Mr.. Lindsay observed that a good
deal had been said about forming an
auto club, with view to a more
stringent enforcement of the regula-
tions relating to lighting, speed, etc.
A good many felt that rather than
have an independent organization it
would be better to have a committee,
with power to act in such matters for
the Chamber in dealing with the po-
lice regarding infractions of the auto
rules. 1t was voted unanimously
that there be committee of one
and that r. A Wadsworth be the COM
mittee. The proposition is that if
members (or others, possibly, as welD
have complaints, they will file them
with Mr.. Wadsworth, and whatever
he does will be the action of the
Chamber as a body. The opinion was
expressed that there was too much
laxity in the police office having auto
matters in charge.
A vote of thanks was rendered to
r. A. Wadsworth for his efficient SER
vices in the past two years as presid-
ent of the Chamber.
Rev. Mr.. Dodge called attention to
the good work being done by Superin-
tendent ]. D. McVeigh, at the Molo-
kai settlement, and his personal ef-
fort and sacrifice in providing a new
social hall there. A vote of thanks
was rendered to Mr.. McVeigh.
The secretary brought up the ques-
ton of absentee members, and it was

Attempted Burglary
OF A Store At Hama

Last Friday night would-be burg
lar made an unsuccessful attempt to
break into the store of S. Hasegawa,
at Hama. Hasegawa was awakened
during the night by the sound of
scratching, first thinking it was a rat,
but later concluding that it was too
loud for that. He got up, but in do
ing so made noise which the in
truder heard. The man ran away
without being identified, but in the
hurry left behind felt hat, which the
police have and will use in their ef-
fort to trace the guilty party.

Kipahulu Laborer
Drowned In The Sea

Evaristo Zabilo, a Filipino laborer
on the Kipahulu plantation, aged 81,
resident of Maui since February
%, 1917, disappeared at sea sometime
last Sunday and it is believed that he

became alarmed and notified the po-
lice. A searching party was organiz-
ed and secured the shore-line for
miles, but without result.
The missing man left an uncle at
Kipahulu, but, so far as known, has
no other relations in the Islands.

Albert r. Palmer. of New York,
Representing n large number Of corpora

Details of the Gcheme are yet to be
worked out.
Mr.. Palmer advocated a tax on gross
sales, which he said would be less felt
than the tax on war profits. He opposed
a tax on stock dividends. contendinE
that exemption from taxes should not be
based on, capital because of the widely
varying revenues Of companies operating
along the same lines. He argued for q
tax on gross income which could be
passed along easily to the consumer.
A request that public utilities be placed
in a separate class for taxation was
made to the committee by Philip H.

the general volume of business has in
creased with the war. the earnings of
utility corporations, particularly street.

LABOR MEN FIGHT SOCIALISM
Committee Urges Federation to
Send Gompers to Europe

st. Paul. June IA proposal that
Samuel Gompers be sent to Europe to
initiate an international trade union
federation to combat the influence which
the international Socialist party is ex-
erting over the European labor move
ment was made at the convention of the
American Federation of Labor by the
official labor mission. Just returned
from England and France.
The immediate aim is to squelch the
plan for a conference between Allied
and German labor groups, which. the
mission found. now dominates the in
ternational policy of the labor forces
in England and France, The American
Federation has opposed this plan from
the beginning. and it was chiefly for
the purpose of stating this opposition
that the mission was sent abroad.
The proposal was made in guarded
language because the mission was not
empowered officially to make recon-
~mendations. but the report was dis
cussed thoroughly with Mr.. Compers
before being delivered.
