Wailuku, Maui, II. H.,
October 4, 1920


MAUI Woman's Club,
"Wailuku, Maui, II. H.,
Some time ago Il committee from
your Club waited on the board of
supervisors with the request that the
County acquire, either by purchase or
condemnation, certain property be-
longing to the Waikiki Sugar Com
pany, under lease to the Maui Wine
& Liquor Company, which lease was
subsequently assigned to the Bank of
Maui, and which lease has term of
approximately II years yet to run, in
Guiding the period of an extension re-
Gently granted.
"The question of acquiring this prop
erty has been under consideration by
the Supervisors for some time. The
county, as you know, has recently ac-
quired the land belonging to the
Smith Estate for the extension and
enlargement of the Malul2ni Hospital.
The land, which it is suggested that
the county now acquire, could be used
by the County of Maui only for the
further extension and enlargement of
the Malulani Hospital and grounds.
The board of supervisors has planned
considerable construction to be car
ried on in the enlargement OF this
Hospital, and its present plan does
not contemplate the erection of any
structures closer than rs feet to the
line of the property in question, and
any further construction would be in
addition to the present plans OF the
board, so that for the purposes OF
construction this particular piece of
land is not required, and will not be
required for somo timo to come.
"The supervisors, at the beginning
of the present year, in making up their
annual budget, figured on great
many public improvements to be car
ried on throughout tie County, and
plans for the expenditures or all mon
eys which thoy expected to receive
as revenue during the current year,
were drawn.
owing to the greatly increased cost
of materials and labor, practically all
of the items for which appropriations
were made have exceeded the amount
of the appropriation.
"In addition, the county has been
called upon to advance from its gen.
eral fund moneys amounting to sew
eral thousand dollars for the construc-
ton of a number of new school louses
and school buildings not provided for
4 by the Legislature. The cost of the
enlargement of the Wailuku-Kahului
water works has had to be met out
of the general fund of the county for
| the reason that moneys appropriated
| by the Legislature have not been
realized from the sale Of bonds, and
this item, together with other eXpendi-
lures not contemplated and the ma
terially enhanced cost of all county
work has pat the County in such a
position financially that the board OF
supervisors and the writer do not be-
lieve that it would be good policy
or for the interest of the taxpayers
of the county at large, to acquire this
property at the price which must
necessarily be paid for it and allow
il to remain unused for several years
to come.
"The writer and the other members
cf the board of supervisors do feel,
however, that just as soon as the
finances of the county will permit the
acquisition of thisrproperty, without
compelling the -eliInination of other

Candidates Asked
Views by Women
Nominees of Both Parties Are Invited
to Address New Voters at Kahului
Mo-. 'av and Certain Subjects Are
Suggested For Discussion.

Candidates for the legislature, on
both party tickets have been asked to
address public meeting of women
voters of Maui to be held in the Kahu-
lui Theater at o'clock next Monday
afternoon. The meeting is arranged
by the committee of the Maui Wo-
mans Club and a cordial invitation is
extended to all women voters of Maui
who are able to attend, whether they
be members Of the club or not. Candi-
dates may speak in English or Ha-
waiian as they desire and will limit
their speeches to ten minutes that an
opportunity to be heard may be afford
ed to all.
Members of the Chamber of Com
merce are also invited to attend.
Outline is Suggested
In extending the invitation to the
candidates the committee has suggest
ed three main subjecs which divide
naturally into ten sub-topics each of
which is considered of especial inter-
est to the women voters. All of them
are more or less directly of import
ance to Maui and three topics relate
to Maui alone so far as legislation
sought is concerned.
Schools, their support and mainten-
ance is the first of the subjects sug-
gested and is sub-divided into six
topics, one of which is the furnishing
of transportation for children of out
lying districts to schools.
Maui Most Interested
In Children's Welfare work two sub
jects suggested are essentially Maui's
problems. One is securing a home on
Maui where delinquent children may
be sent instead of to the Waialae re-
form school al the other is an appro
priation for a an and for a woman
as paid probat officers.
Two subject. connected with the
work of the board of health are alsE
presented.
While the matters mentioned in the
invitation to the candidates are those
the women most wish to hear about II
is expressly said that candidates may
touch upon any other subjects fol-
legislation they desire.
The committee which has arranged
the meeting is composed of Mrs. w
A. Baldwin, Mrs. H. w. Rice and Mrs.
H. A. Baldwin, chairman.

Inter-Island Company
Declines to Assist
In Fairs Success

Every request for cooperation by
the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co,
in the making of the fair a success
has been refused. A letter from the
company received early this week was
a keen disappointment to the manage
ment of the Fair 1t has upset plans
that were formulated and has dis
comoded the Army plans as well. 1t
will mean the military will have to
come over from four days to week
sooner than was intended II will
also mean some dismorfort and crowd
ing for visitors from other Islands
and the general passenger travellers on
the Inter-Island steamers at that time,
the Fair management says.
Director Harold w. Rice of the Fair
wrote to the lRter-Island Company
asking that the Kilauea be put on for
an extra run at the time of the Fair,
that arrangements be made to bring
visitors from Molokai and that the
Claudine make special calls in the
Hama district. He also asked what
could be done in arranging for a
special rate.
In reply the InterIsland Company
notified Mr.. Rice that the Kilauea
would be on the Hawaii run that week
and could not be taken off; that the
Claudine would be taken off for its an
nual overhauling and the Mauna Loa
probably substituted; that no special
rates would be given. In short, pract-
ically everything asked is refused.
An effort TO get a slight improve
ment in the plans of the company is
being made and it has been asked that
the Mauna Loa be substituted for the
Kilauea and the Kilauea for the Clau-
dine.

E. E. Pleasant Acts as
High School Principal

Since the first of October, when Mr..
Hugh V. White went TO take the pull
pit of the Christian Church in Homo
lulu, Rev. E. E. Pleasant has been in
charge of the Central Grammar and
High School as acting principal, pend
ing the selection by the board of pub
lie instruction of permanent princi-
pal who meets the requirements. TAX
ing up the duties of high school prin-
eipal in addition, to those he was al
ready carrying is making Mr.. Pleasant
a very busy man.
The acting principal of the High
School finds school affairs going nice
ly with the capacity of the school tax
ed by the attendance which is SO.

Maui Wonsaan's Club Opens its Year
With Fine Attendance of Members
(Contributed.)

Maui Womans Club held it's first
meeting since the summer recess
Monday last at three o'clock, in the
Kahului Community House.
There was large attendance, many
of those present being the new.teach-
ers, who had been invited to be the
guests of the club for the afternoon.
The usual routine business, includ-
ing reports of committees and depart
ments with plans of work for the COM
ing year, ETC., was disposed of, and
in concluding this, the president, Mrs
Linton, asked Mrs. Rice, vice-president
to take the chair for a moment so that
she might take the floor to make a
motion. This motion was that the
club shoold adopt a flower and a
color, and that Mrs. H. P. Baldwin
should select the flower. Without
hesitation Mrs. Baldwin suggested the
pink HIBISCUS, thus determining the
flower and color; and this was un-
animously endorsed by the club men,
bers.
Welfare Work Explained
Mr.. Clinton S. Child, Headworker of
the Alexander House Settlement AS
sociation was then called upon to
address the meeting and he told of the
work and the aims of the Association
in a most enlightening manner. There
is no doubt but that many present
learned for the first time of the eX-
fro al x1ri1 nf 1n At,lY a
and planned by the Settlement.
Mr.. Childs was followed by Miss
Eleanor Langwith, in charge of Girls
work in the Settlement. Miss Lang
with's talk was most interesting, and
her deep interest in her work was
very apparent. She made an appeal
to the women of Maui to assist in the
work of keeping girls interested, in
structed and amused. 1t is easy to
believe that if the work were carried
out according to Miss Langwith's
plan, there would be less need for res
cue work.
Need of Legislation
Mr.. Cameron, humane officer, gave
an interesting talk on the work done
or planned by his department, and
pOlllCu Oul lilell WI NOh'iNN nv
only animals, but children, and he
begged that the women work for an
amendment to the act that permits
girls under sixteen to work from six
o'clock in the morning until nine at
night at their various occupations.
The program was concluded by a
short talk by Mr.. Joseph Gray, editor
of the Maui News. This was punctu-
ated by little incidents and expert
ences which made it very hu0mn, and
Mr.. Gray won the gratitude of the
club members by Offering the sery-
ices of his paper to the club at all
times.
The program of work outlined by
the club for the coming year is very
ambitious sounding one, but judging
from what has been accomplished
since the inception of the club, there
is little doubt but that everything
planned will be carried out, with,
doubtless, many additions which will
suggest themselves from time to
time.
The following letter from Mr.. Kala-
ma, Chairman of the Board of Super
visors, is self-eXplanatory, showing

Asked for his reasons for his strong
belief that Johnson Will be nominated
and elected president, Cook said:
johnson is the strongest man in the
country today. His administrations in
California are without parallel. and
what he did for California he can do
for the nation
General Wood has many followers
in Arizona. But really. General Wood
lacks the personal magnetism. He
lacks experience in everything that
doesn't concern the army. General
Wood cannot command the peoples
vote. He hasn't a very strong hold
on the soldier vote. and if Wood were
nominated by the republicans and
Hoover was named by the democrats,
[ fear to think what will happen to us.
Arizona republicans must remem :
Der that the democrats are making
special drive to carry the west and
particularly California. The republic
ans Will have TO have a real western
man TO hold this territory.
johnson has given the west its first
chance to get fair share of national
Influence. and the west should not
throw this chance away, because IL IL
fails now it will not get the chance
again in another generation.
Arizona and California are sister
states Their interests are closely

nounced by Wire yesterday to hun
dreds of prospective buyers, to his own
organization, and to Arizona at large
that the great Overland factory was
again ready to resume full and COM
plete operation after a long period of
labor troubles. The troubles with the
unions and a shortage of material has
kept the Overland factory from put
ting out as large a number of cars as
required to fill the growing demand
for the new models
Mr.. HotchlSiss has been at the Lc-
tory for some time in the interests of
obtaining more cars for this state. 1t
is the opinion of the organization here
that with the ending of the strike.
more cars will at once start in this
direction. 1t is expected that with all
difficulties out of the way. production
will reach 1000 cars day. At the
present time, with 1900 employees.
