WEDNESDAY
CITY IMPROVEMENT.

By an Act approved October Is, 1886,
it is made the duty OF the Minister Of the
Interior to appoint commission Of three
civil engineers, one of whom shall be
the Superintendent of Public Works, to
establish the grades of all streets and
highways, and the grades and widths of
all sidewalks in the city of Honolulu.
These Commissioners shall, upon APP
pointment, carefully survey, level and
grade the streets, highways and side
walks, as may be directed by the Min
lister of the Interior. They shall also
make proper and complete plans of the
same, with the grade lines and widths
recommended by them plainly marked
thereon, which plans shall be counter
signed by the Minister and deposited in
the office of the Superintendent OF Public
Works, and all work upon any public
street or highway must conform to such
plans.
The necessity for a general law of this
character will be recognized by every
resident of Honolulu, and every visitor
as we'll An official grade should have
been established many years ago, but as
this duty was overlooked by the Govern
ment heretofore it is to be hoped that no
unnecessary delay Will take place in con-
stituting the Commission on Street
Grades contemplated by this Act The
progress of building in the burned dis
trict is in itself a sufficient reason for
bringing the law into operation forth
with. But even were this not 50, the
dangerous and filthy condition OF the
roads and sidewalks in me more fire.
quented parts of the city would suggest
immediate action His Excellency Mr..
Aholo has the duty of appointing this
Commission and instructing it imposed
upon him, and it is TO be hoped
that he will not lose time in performing
his functions in this regard. Honolulu
might easily be made one of the most at
tractive cities in the world. Everything,
however, depends upon the intelligent
management and direction by the Gov
eminent, in whose hands municipal
affairs wholly are If the policy of this
Act be honestly followed out, the entire
aspect of the city viii be changed for the
better in comparatively brief period,
and the reproach OF filthy and badly
made and maintained roads and side
walks done away with. 1t will pay in
the end to make the capital OF the King
dom an attractive place of resort, as well
to tourists from abroad as to residents on
the other Islands.

Frank Davis i'm Court.

Frank Davis, who was arrested last
week on two charges of burglary and
larceny, and who escaped from prison
but was recapture d, had his trial yester-
day morning in the Police Court before
Police Justice Bickerton. The first
charge against him was for the larceny
of gold watch, the property of Mrs.
William Miller, valued at $40. Mrs.
Miller testified that the watch produced
was her property. She bought it in San
Francisco and had a ticket with the
number of the watch on. This was
given to her when she bought it. There
was a gold chain attached to it, but this
is now missing.
Thomas Lindsay, jeweler, Nuuanu
street, said: On the 23d of October the
prisoner came to me at noon and Of
fered to sell this watch. He said it be-
longed to his wife, who was "make."
He further said that he bought it in
New York three years ago for 500. l Of
fered him SO, but he wanted $40, after
wards $18. We agreed at $40. Before [
paid him l asked his name. He said
John Smith. He said he was a son OF
old Jack Smith. [ knew the latter had
a son. and concluded the prisoner was
he. A week later l was taking lunch at
the Cosmopolitan Restaurant when Mr..
Miller came in and sat beside me. He
said his house had been robbed and that
two watches and other things had been
stolen | told him had bought a watch
a week ago l showed it to his wife,
and she identified it as her property.
Two DAYS after Davis came to my store
to have a new silver watch regulated. /
questioned him about his name, and he
said he had never told me that it was
John Smith. Upon further questioning
him, he asked me whether l thought he
was a thief. He boasted about having
plenty of money | went out by the
back of my store on to Hotel street, and
hailed native policeman, telling him
to arrest Davis. He did not understand
me, and Davis got off.
Station House Keeper Crabbe said
that Davis was arrested on October 25th
for drunkenness. An old-fashioned
/ chain was found on him, among other
things, when searched. 1t was returned
to him after he had paid his fine.
On being asked if he had any defense
/ to offer, Davis said he hadnothing to say,
( as he did not know anything.
/ He was then charged with escaping
/ from custody. After the charge was
/ read to linn he said; Yes, I be run
away: l had had nothing to eat for four
[ days"
His Honor said it would be waste Of
/ time to lecture the prisoner. He had
figured 50 much in Court and received
many lectures, which had done no good.
/ What he had prophesied had taken
/ place, namely, that Davis would be
/ eventually sent on the reef to serve out a
/ long sentence. These two cases were in
/ his Jurisdiction and he would not be do
ing his duty if he did not pass a severe
sentence For the larceny OF the watch
he would sentence the prisoner to fifteen
! months imprisonment at hard labor and
/ to pay fine Of $25. For escaping from
/ custody three months imprisonment at
/ hard labor. These sentences might
( seem severe, but they were warranted
/ by the prisoners previous record.
! Davis was next tried on a charge OF

Since the foregoing was in type we
have been informed that the work of es-
tablishing grades has been already com
pleted SO far as the actual survey and
plans are concerned, and that all the
Commission need be called upon to do is
to examine and approve these as re-
quired by law This engineering work
was completed during Mr.. Gulick's in
cumbency of office as Minister of the
Interior, the civil engineers employed
being Mr.. julius H. Smith, Superintend-
ent of Public Works, Major Bender and
Mr.. J. ID. Brown. There can be no
question as to the ability of these gentle
men to establish grades for streets, side
walks and sewers; and it Is satisfactory
to know that SO much has already been
accomplished and paid for by the Gov
eminent. Time will be saved, which
is important; and the expenditure to
perfect the plans need not be more than
nominal. Mr.. Aholo has therefore an
easier task than we had supposed, and
at a time when money is scarce in the
Treasury it would be peculiarly agree
able to him to be able to inaugurate i'm
portant improvement works without tax
ing its resources severely.
