only objection to the bill was that it took
in some Of the water front belonging to
the Government In leasing that the
lease could specify that the lessee was to

a good one, and would beautify the city.

stated last session that there were a lot
OF shanties on Alakea Street. The bulk
of the street Is well built up. The bill

sibiv three people. But | don't think we
eusht 10 pass law to the benefit OF two

Rep Lucas-The bill will only benefit |
q lew because there are only a few resi-
dents on the street. | move the previous |
question.
Noble Baldwin, am not resident of |
Honolulu, but as l have been informed |
the bill is a just one. There is no de-
4 and for tire-proof buildings on Alakea |
greet. and so vacant lots remain vacant. |
The fire limit can be changed at any,
time ! believe in having fre-proof |
buildings in all the thickly-settled parts
OF Honolulu, hut do not think the limit
should be extended to parts where there
Is no demand for ire-proof buildings.
