~ The work of widening Queen-street is ap-
preaching completion. The award of the re-
ferees as to compensatiOns payable for land
taken, etc. and as to increased value to property
in the street in consequence Of the widening, has
been rendered, and was on Tuesday filed in the
Office OF the Registrar Of Conveyances in accord
ance with the statute. The amounts payable
are 81, 100 to the contractor for Mr.. Campbells
building for altering foundations, etc, $3.50 to
Mr.. Campbell for land, and 1851 33 to the
estate of the late General Miller for land.
Besides these amounts the cost Of altering the
buildings occupied by Messrs. A. S. Cleghoru &
Co., and Theo. H. Davies has TO be paid. The
contract price for that work was about 81, 600.
The formation of the new portion of the street
and footpaths also falls on the Government. For
these expenditures the Government recoups
itself by collecting from the several owners of
property in the neighborhood of the improve
ment, the amounts by which (as the referees have
certifed) their properties and holdings are
bettered in value by the change. These several
contributions amount to $3,643 50. Had the
matter been attended to a little more promptly,
the compensation to Mr.. Lucas for the alterations
in Mr.. Campbell's building might have been
avoided, and this levy upon property-holders
would then have more than covered the whole
cost of the change. The awards to claimants for
loss of ground are very moderate and each of
them mas q pay DdCh II cpLSlItIdDiS sun "
- betterment " which is valued at 81 per foot of
frontage to Queen-street. In Mr.. Campbelfs
case this amounts to $64O, so that he only re-
ceives payment of the ignOble balance of SO.
~ The Fire Department have received from
San Francisco, a number of Autograph copies Of
the plan of Honolulu, showing the new fires
wards. This map is taken from the records OF
the Government Survey, and was compiled for
the Fire Department by Mr.. J. f. Brown. The
various wards are distinguished by different
colors. Circles are drawn on the map, showing
the distances of various points in the town from
the Bell Tower-one for every quarter of a mile
of radius. Copies of this map will be sold to
those who apply for them, and certainly no
business Office in town should be without one, as
besides the information it affords as to the boun-
diaries of the frewards, and the positions of
hydrants, cisterns and artesian wells, it contains
many details, especially as to the harbor and its
immediate shores, which are not in any other
published map, and it is the first map that has
been compiled which shows the whole of the
city from Palama to Punahou and up the valley
as far as the Mausoleum. According to the
division now adopted, there are thirteen fire.
