Hawaiian delegation seeks funding for public works from duties
A Hawaii delegation arrived in Washington to urge that three quarters of customs duties and internal revenue collected in the territory be spent on public works. They claim $1.2 million yearly, about $8 per capita, leaves a heavy drain on Hawaii’s resources and supports labor on island projects. They emphasize the spending stays in the islands rather than being sent to San Francisco.
