Hawaiian Electric
Would Come Here
Continued From Page OBe.)

!, head insured hat Maui people would
have nothing to complain of in mat
ter of treatment.
The time element was also present
ed as a factor for consideration, it
begin pointed out that the Hawaiian
Electric would probably be able within
a comparatively short period to have
a good plant in operation, and that
it would undoubtedly keep ahead of
the demand from the more remote dis
triCts, whereas a local company would
be constantly delayed by the ever in
creasing demand for expansion and
difficulty of raising capital. Lack of
experience in handling so large an en-
terprise of this nature was also men
toned as a reason why Maui should
be glad to place its trust in the Ha-
waiian Electric.
Some kanalua
r. a. Wadsworth, chairman of the
meeting, was not sure that this was
the best course; while the members
of the subcommittee which had been
entrusted with the work of getting a
new company launched, were also
unwilling to drop the work that had
been started. This committee con
sists of VIII. j. Cooper, c. d. Lufkin,
Charles Savage, L. Il. Bevins, and
William Walsh.
Mr.. Lufkin urged that the commit
tee be permitted to continue its work
of organizing the Maui Electric Co.,
Ltd, with 500, 900 capitalization; that
permit from the supervisors for use
of the streets for poles and wires be
eppi1rn1 orl that pnnt rDp tC thnn he
'Olicited from the present users of
, 'Ctric current to take current from
the new company when available. If
then { seems best to turn the bust
ness o n to the Hawaiian Electric ii
would bt<simply a matter between
the new C$gnpany and the Honolulu
concern.
e. R. Bevin[ stated that he had
prepared a drtE of articles of asso-
citation for the Incorporation of the
new company, an, . memorandum to
be presented to tn (unty in conneC-
ton with the reql for permit to
use streets. He was 2sed to drop
ping the matter or leavl 1t up to the
air.
However, the meeting fn.Vy broke
up without any action being Nken on
the report of the sub-commitN Ne, or
without hearing any more of Ne re-
port than that in connection win the
stock subscriptions. The committee
was not discharged nor were ann in

course.
