That is the Name for the
New Brick Block.
Four Stories-Arrange Made
with the Last Tenant-M owing
Architect - Roman Brick.

The Judd Building is to go up at the
corner of Fort and Merchant and will
be the property of the Judd Building
Co, Ltd. 1t will be a four story struc-
ture according to the plans of Architect
Traphagen and viii, be thoroughly
modern block. There will be an elee-
trio elevator, scientific lighting and
ventilation, plate glass, iron columns,
all with Roman Brick" as the chief
and narrow and yellow and are made
at Lincoln, Calf. The Mills building
of San Francisco and other notable
buildings in that city and elsewhere
are Of Roman Brick
AS indicated, the Judd Building will
be owned by a joint stock company.
The land belongs to the Chief Justice.
The Hawaiian investment company is
organizing the corporation. Nothing
in regard TO this is on paper yet. Mr..
Traphagen was made the architect
on account of the favor with which
his sketch found with projectors of
lIlC SllICI Jl l0C. OSNCl dl OIlCI Sh6ICuCS
were submitted. This will be the first
fouT-stOry business block in town 1t
will cost more than $4,000 and when
completed will be the finest down town
building. The first proposal was for
two stories, which Chief Justice Judd
intended to undertake for himself So
many applications for offices were re-
ceiVed that the scope of the enterprise
was Widened
1t is said that most of the people
who have asked for rooms express
preference for the lower floors. This
is contradictory to practice in the cities
in the United States. Where there are
buildings over there with height and
good elevators the upper floors are
most sought for. That may be the
case here in time.
All of the tenants on the site of the
Judd Building will leave their places
of business on or before the 18th of
February.
J. S. Martin, the tailor, takes the old
Sproull store in the Campbell block
on lease for term of years. He will
move so soon as possible.

cation. J. F. Brown is looking for new
offices for the Hawaiian Abstract and
Title Co. Mr. Louis Marks seeks new
quarters. The Annexation club central
Honolulu bureau fust be moved. The
Hawaiian Board Bible house which
occupies the second floor at the corner
will be settled elsewhere. Walton, OF
Peerless Paint fame, has become sc
discouraged in his hunt for new offices
that he expresses his intention Of do
ing something desperate.
Morris & Schemerhorn peoples Elk
press have secured the office in thu
rear of ROth's tailor shop, formerly &C
cupied by Macdonald, the attorney
The hack people of the Judd corne
will have their telephones in the ex
press office.
1t was at noon yesterday that the las
tenant of the present frame building
agreed to leave by the middle Of mex
month. Orders were sent at once to tn
architect to go ahead with the plan
and to the Investment company Off
| GERS to proceed with the preliminarie
