M. dellarne, president of HRT. "By 1958 all trolley coaches on the Waikiki and Kaimuki lines will be taken out of service," Mr.

dellarne said, "and with the completion of the mauka arterial, express service can begin." HRT HAS ALREADY started to retire the trolleys. In the past two years, 30 of these coaches have been eliminated and replaced by 15 new GMC "air Suspension Ride" Diesel buses. The company would like to accelerate this pro-pram, Mr. dellarne said, but the Diesel buses cost $24,000 each, and the 85 trolleys now in use will provide economical and comfortable service for two or three years more, he said. Within three years, Mr.

dellarne predicted, Honolulu is going to have express bus service and probably de luxe "Club Bus" service. HRT has been making detailed plans for express bus service for the past two years and expects to have it in operation by 1D58. "TWO FACTORS are holding it vp at present," said Mr. dellarne. "These are highways and Present arterials are not Icquate for high speed express i rvice.

There are too many stops i starts, and too many bottle-r xks where the buses lose time. The completion of the mauka arterial, though, will do much to relieve this problem." The other factor, equipment, will be solved by the time the arterial is completed. Right now, HRT has too many trolleys and not enough Diesel buses, said Mr. dellarne.

Representatives of the evening newspaper contacted her- by telephone and told her she would be fired unless she consented to come immediately to the newspaper office to take the call and be photographed.

JONES The Territorial government now estimates that its income for the next two years will be roughly $5,000,000 better than previously calculated. It was learned reliably yesterday that Gov. Samuel V. King has been advised by three top department heads to expect income from all sources to total about 5107,000,000 instead of as previously estimated. ACCORDINGLY, on paper, the governor will be about $4,000,000 short of a balanced budget instead of $9,000,000 as was the case earlier.

Any boost in taxes the governor might recommend to close the gap thus be comparatively smaller. Gov. King is expected to reveal the exact figure on the new income estimate either Tuesday or Wednesday ip a letter to members of the legislature. At the same time, he will give the lawmakers the final figure on his budget for running the government the next two years.
