REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OF HAWAII.

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,

Honolulu, Hawaii, August 17, 1920.

The SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR.
SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report from the
Territory of Hawaii for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1920:

GENERAL CONDITIONS.

Conditions throughout the Territory have been exceedingly prosperous largely as a result of the high price of sugar, which is the main crop of the islands.

Sugar and pineapples continue to be the main crops of the islands. The yield of sugar for the year 1920 is estimated at 568,671 tons; that of pineapples 6,000,000 cases.

Imports for the year ending March 31, 1920, amounted to $63,283,647; exports amounted to $104,779,804.

Of the imports, those received from the mainland amounted to $53,669,174, and those from foreign countries to $9,614,473. Of the exports, the shipments to the mainland totaled $101,194,733, and to foreign countries $3,585,071.

Details of exports and imports are shown in the tables of "commerce" a few pages later in this report.

The gross tonnage of all vessels arriving at ports of the Territory during the year ended June 30, 1920, was 5,430.976, or an increase of 1,970,771. This is eloquent proof of the rapid development of the islands' commerce.

Customs receipts were $1,172,394.04, an increase of $314,136.04 over last year's amount. Federal internal-revenue receipts were $11,927,545.81, the greatest in the history of the local office. This is $6,095,612.62 greater than last year's receipts, an increase of more than 100 per cent.

Valuation of all real and personal property in the Territory as rendered by the tax assessors is $287,006,792, which is $36,482,446 more than the assessed valuation rendered last year.

Savings-bank deposits have jumped tremendously. For the year just closed they total $15,807,778.11, as against $10,450,846.55. This is an increase of $5,356,931.56, or approximately 50 per cent.

COMMISSION TO WASHINGTON.

By a resolution adopted by the legislature of 1919 there was provided a commission to visit Washington and lay before Congress
