FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1922 Penny Wiseness It would be poor economy to carry out the reported plan to do away with the har- bor department's radio service. Few, if any, city departments are conducted with the same efficiency as this, and any steamship man will tell you that hundreds of lives have been protected thru the alertness of the harbor’s radio station, Only last week an enviable speed record was made by rescue ships that were sent after passengers of the Calista, when she was cut in half by the Hawaii Maru. And 3 this was due solely to the work of the harbor department's wireless service. ; Could any reasonable person attempt to balance this kind of service against the few thousand dollars that the station costs annually?
