Editor Evening llulletln; I cravo
permission fur tho uso of your columns
In tho samo manner you allowed V.
It. Cnstlo, president Honolulu Gas
Company, in your Inst Krldny's Issue,
wherein an "Open Letter" by him "Ou
Das Works" was published. It pur
ports to be an answer to tho unfavor
able. roprt made by tho Houso Com
mlttoo on Agriculture, etc., on Scnato
Dill No. 8G, roortcd last Thursday.
Mr. Cnstlo throws discredit upon
tho committee becauso It did not glva
tho Gas Company a hearing on the pro
posed amendment of Its franchise
which ho claims wns not sought by It,
which franchise was granted in all
good faith by tho Legislature of 1903,
and which was eventually ml I lied and
confirmed by Congress.
For tho hotter understanding of tho
matter, I quoto tho section of tho Ho
vlsod I.nws proposed to bo changed,
c mphaBlzIng tho clause- to bo ropculml,
tho section rending as follows:
Section 897. . . . : and provided
further, tlint If said W. W. Dlmond
ihnll nmnufneturo and Bupply Illumi

cenilier JJlst,
J".
April, A." I). 1007.
G. It. C'AUTER,
of the Territory of Hawaii
kail Introduced tho bill In tho Senate
without any knowlodgo or Informa
tion on the subject by tho Oas Com
pany" or by someono in Its behalf.
which Mr. Castle denies not, that the
Senator Introduced It of his own oll
lion and freo will. It Is really sur
I rising to find ono such man, and that
man a legislator, so magnanimous and
publlc-Bplrltcd as to voluntarily ask to
modify a charter granted for a certain
public utility and In tho Interest of
certain Individuals, In this Instanco, a
prlvnto corKrntlon t.oml-publlc In
character. And, moreover, tho Intro
ducer Is a disinterested party, In that
ho is not ono to bo benefitted directly,
but rather casually and Indirectly. Had
the amendment been proposed by a
Honolulu or Oahu member, then it
would put a different aspect to the
rase.
With regard to their "right to be
heard in tho mnttor," I say that it 1
not tho provlnco of tho commlttco to
look for parties Interested, but it Is
'up" to thoso hnlng "prlvnto
fcnemes" or "ici mensurcs" lo seo
that thoy aro given a hearing. Thero
Is no doubt In my mind that had Mr,
Cabtlu presented himself, ho would
mruly hne been graciously accorded
a healing, such as ho desires. Speak
ing for tho committee, Individually and
collectively, 1 am mora than certain
Hint they, ono and nil, hnvo certainly
performed their duty, nnd It Is for tho
people of Honolulu to Judga between
them and the Oas Company.
It Is u fact, only too well known,
that when tho Congressional attlrmn
Hon was soiiRht by thoso Intel cstcd Iu
tho gas franchise, who were represent
ed by "Mr. n. I Wlthlngton, of Ho
nolulu, Hawaii," as their attorney,
Washington, and who appeared before
tho Commlttco on Territories of tho
House, March 1, 1904, and that there
Mid then ho argued favorably on the
claujo sought to be changed, lu effect
as fellows: "We pay ! 1-2 por cent
Eiosi, and I leuc out all tho lighting
of tho streets, which Is free." That
clause, then, was tho crux of thu sit
uation. As to tho Gas Company entering In-
iafiitiiiiaate'.' rffct4,aAigja6ititA,
The board of rili return of tho
Htfill Merchants Association
of St. Joiepii. Mo . hns Issued a
circular letter to members of
the association, Iu which news
papers nro recognized as the
only advertisin'' mediums to tc -
used by local business men. "
The letter refers to a reso- O
lutlon along the name lino
which was adopted by the as-
sorlatlou Mime time ago ami
states that, inasmuch as the lo-
(al newspapers are working
with the retail merchants for 9
the upbuilding of Ht Joeph,
the nro entitled to nil of the O
udvertlslng patroungo of the
local linns American Press.
u i j ' !i ,ua
lo competition with the Clectrlc Com
pany, It Is not prcented front so doing
nhomncr It chooses to do so. That Is
Its business nnd concerns not tho Leg
Islutuiv, but what docs concern mo in
legislator Is to see the (las Company
llu up to its pl'-dgo. that of furnishing
gns for fifty street lights and for rlvo
moro additional thereafter annually,
I'pon tlm requisition of tho Superinten
dent of Public Works. This condition,
as I understand It, did not cinanntii
from thu legislature, nor did It seem
lo tho committee n very linn! ono to
perform, had it so chosen to do, being
t.nly the giving of tho Juice or liquid
gas, and this without thu expense In
cidental to thu Installation thereof. As
no requisition has, as ct, been made,
I'othlug need bo paid about It.
At tho present time, I lenrn that all
tho iKdes, wires, lamps, apparatus and
other appliances for tho electric streot
lighting system of this city nro owned
by tho Government, and that the only
expense lmrno by tho Government Is
for tho supply of power. Put what
would the enso be If gns was to bo
used, providing It Is requisitioned by
the proper authority? It would mean
tho doing away of the proxc'nt system
uf street lighting, to bo followed by
tho expense of gns installation.
It Is hoped, mid I nm credibly In
formed by one who knows whereof ho
rpcuks, that when tho new Nuuaiiu
reservoir Is finally completed, that tho
Government can then dlsiienso with
tho present expensive condition of '
pnying for tho Julco only of tho street ;
dghting system by supplying all Iih j
own lights nt n saving to tho public.
Ktu- public Information, 1 dcslru to
Hate, also upon credible information.
that the Itapld Transit Company has'
hnd installed certain electric street
lights, particularly thoto In Knplolnnl
Park, at its solo oxonsc, tho only ex
lonse to the Government being their,
care.
Without In tho least having an Idea
nf entering Into any "gas" controversy
lth Mr. Castlo, or with anybody eUo.
for that matter, I merely niako tho
foregoing public Btatement mi behalf
ol tho committee, showing Its position
In tho mutter, which I hope will bo
favorably lecelvcd and satisfactorily
entertained.
Very respectfully,
A. U. CASTIIO,
Chairman.
