OVER THE SQUARE
Viaduct In the Plan for a
New Electric Line.
Home Capital Meeting Postponed.
Too Much Weather-Mr. Paine
Was On Hand-The Plans.

The meeting called as a preliminary
to organization Of local company to
give the town a surface electric pas
senger line failed on account of the
weather. Eight or ten men interested
reached the Chamber of Commerce
hall at 7:30 last evening. They de-
cided in very few minutes that it
would be best TO adjourn till the storm
was over. Another call will be issued
soon. Mr.. Paine, manager of the Ha-
waiian Tramways Company and the
attorney Of the corporation, Mr.. Paul
Neumann, were present. Senator Nc
Candless, who is taking an active
part in the movement was ON hand.
P. G. Jones and several others who
will be prominent in the home COM
pany were unable to attend.
Invitations to the meeting to have
been held last evening stated the pur-
pose Of the gathering to be for the
consideration of a proposition for an
electric railway for Honolulu to be
built entirely by home capital. The
plan is to fix on the amount of sub
scription necessary for such an enter
prise and to have a committee make
a canvass of the town. This will be
done within fortnight. One report
is that the TramWay Company will
make negotiations to the new concern,
looking to sale of the present system
and it's prospects or to consolidation
with the electric project brought back
from London by Mr. Paine and still IN
his valise. There is also report that
the Tramway people will fight the
new movement to the last ditch. 1t is
said that Mr.. Paine has been given
quite full powers by his company, but
he labors under the disadvantage of
being widely separated from his direc-
torate. The Tram Company is to make
request to the Legislature for extern
sive favors. At the same time the new
company will go before the lawmakers
asking for an act that they say will
be very modest and moderate in It's
charter terms.
In a way the system Of lines that
was proposed by the company that
was before the last assembly for
a charter will be adopted by the
new home association.
Bethel street is to be used. Waikiki
will be reached via Queen street,
through Kewalo and along the new
beach road. This will save nearly a
mile between town and Kapiolani
park and is calculated to catch all the
Sunday and holiday trade. 1t is
planned to use Hotel street, crossing
Thomas Square with viaduct. This
will be the route to the plains and
Punahou and mauka of Beretanla
street. A section of belt line will be
from Punahou clear around back of
the park.
AS both the town men and the Tram
people are very much in earnest and
have plenty of capital available live
ly contest may be looked for during
the legislative session and perhaps in
the Courts and on the streets after
wards.

feature of the attendance will be the pres.

city, whose recent Organization is the out
growth of the present war scare.
The ships are now practically ready for

tons of tallow. and all that remains is to
knock in the braces. The ships are now
