Title
[D8336I], Letter from George S Ladd to Samuel Insull, May 4th, 1883
Editor's Notes
Just got reply from Honolulu saying they will give full reply by next steamer. "They have to pay $10 or $11. per ton for coal and as tey do not hope ever to place more than 20000 lamps at Honolulu, they evidently think the cost on the terms named will make the light too expensive to compete with coal-oil which is now used. I would advise making the terms just as low as you can afford, both for rights and for plant--central andisolated. It is a very lmited field and a very small white population."
