COUNTY LIBRARY SITE

Looking over Waikiki for a suitable site for permanent location
of a public library makes it evident that desirable locations are few.
The library cannot long remain where it is and when it becomes a coun-
t library there is no reason why it should. 1t will be impossible to
secure a location that will be equally convenient to all and suitability
of site must enter into consideration as well as convenience. And OF
preponderating Importance is the question of purchase price.
At another time the matter of price might not be so important
but any who have taken the pains to inquire, know that the county
revenues will be smaller than last year, in spite of higher tax rate. The
funds available for permanent improvements and the general fund will
both be greatly reduced. The county treasurer, the county auditor,
the members of the board of supervisors all will tell this to the inquirer.
Hence the same county support for a library that might be expected at
another time cannot be looked for now.
An available site, slightly, well located, right in the civic center,
on a corner, with a building which can be used until such time as a
handsome structure can be erected, perhaps with the assistance of the
Carnegie foundation, can be secured during the present month for
$500 and $500 more will make necessary alterations for the building.
The price makes the purchase easily within the means of the county
even under present cramped financial conditions. The option holds
good for a month only, there is not time to debate the subject 1t ap-
pears the part of wisdom to make the purchase for the land will not
depreciate in value in years to come. Those who might prefer another
site may well keep the facts in mind.
The county cannot be expected to spend $4,000 for a site Or to
appropriate such a sum for a building. 1t is best, then, to take what
can be secured and not to delay the realization of the hopes for a library
on Maui, something more than the present small affair, indefinitely by
chickering's.
The proposed site, too, is admittedly one of the most desirable in
Waikiki. Nothing to compare with it could be secured for several
times what the cost will be- So all together and with a united front
for a County Library for Maui NOW.

ON BEHALF OF W

Maui teachers have just joined the Hawaii Educational Associa-
ton chiefly, it is said, to assist in efforts to bring about participation
for this Territory in the benefits of the Smith Towner Education Bill,
a measure designed to give federal assistance to the States but from
participation in which the Islands are excluded. The Hawaii Assoca-
ton is to pay the expenses of a delegate to Des Mones where the Ma
tonal Association will. meet in July to take up the subject there. Some
5000 is to be raised to pay the expenses of such delegate and the action
of the teachers is especially to be commended. They are making their
contribution freely and cheerfuly while the majority of parents are
not giving a nickel, do not even know what the Smith Towner Bill is.
Maui Chamber of Commerce has probably shown more interest
in the measure than any other civic organization in the Islands and
has sought to awaken other organizations. Its Investigations as to the
possibilities of securing amendments to the bill have been discouraging
but another way to secure the benefits has developed. 1t is designed to
have a bill applying to Hawaii specifically introduced to follow through
congress on the heels of the Smith-Towner Bill and Delegate Kuhio
has promised to have such a bill introduced and to urge its passage.
1t might be we'll for the delegate from Hawaii to the National Educa-
tonal Convention to urge endorsement for such measure rather than
to seek inclusion in the Smith-Towner measure which leaders in the
National Educational Alliance have said to be probably impossible.
Hawaii is sendng-a legislative commission to Washington soon and
that commission may be able to assist in the propose. to secure parti
cipaion for Hawaii. 1t means millions of dollars to the Territory
and certainly ranks in importance with any legislation that is proposed
to be secured for the Territory. Senator Harold Rice is on the COM
mission, he showed warm interest in the subject when it was before
the Chamber of Commerce and when the subject of legislation was
discussed between the committee of the chamber, the board of super
visors and Maui legislators. If the subject can be brought within the
scope and powers OF the commission it is not too much to expect that
he will urge his co-members to act.
The first work of the teachers of Hawaii in the interest of the
measure might be to write to the members of the Hawaii Commission
before they leave for the mainland.

ELECTRIC LIGHT RATES

After years Of unsatisfactory service for which high rates have
been charged it is encouraging to residents of Waluku and Kahului
to learn that lower rates are in the near offng and soon a new schedule
will be offered. Equally encouraging is the news that the purpose
of the management of the new company is to build up its efficiency and
that improvement in service, beterment of equipment and the interests
OF Maui are foremost considerations.
1t would have been too much to expect that a directorate of a
newly organized company, at their first meeting and on the day of
their taking over the business would order a reduction of service rates.
1t is only fair they should have a reasonable time to look the situation
over and famiharize themselves with the business affairs of the COM
pany. They had the old books, to be sure, but it would not be Just
to expect them to take action bEndly on past records.
However, the directors unanimously put themselves on record as
favorng substantial reductions in rates within three months, probably
by the first of July, perhaps by the first of June, and as in favor of
continuing reduction later as reduced operating costs and improved
equipment may permit, The new company is a Maui concern and as
such will be conducted in the interests of Maui.

Why not make one day and evening at the Fair typical of Old
Maui, featuring the sports, the pastimes, the amusements and the life
OF Iiawa1anS OF Maui half a century or more ago. In connection with
the races there could be cowboy races and sports and old customs
could be revived for the nonce. The music should be overwhelmingly
Hawaiian, in short a program typicaly old Hawaiian should be pres
ented.
On no Island other than Maui could such a plan be better carried
out. here are Hawanans here who know the old days, there are Ha-
wa1lans here well fitted to take the leadership and stage a production
OF the kind. AS an attraction it would appeal to the Hawaians, would
interest the malahlnis and if the press congress be here on that day
would be just what visitors seek.
