The device is made at the workshop

tion, the supporters being sharp so as
to sink into the ground or mud.
When the rain comes and the branch
becomes swollen and swift, bringing
logs and brush down against the
device it would seem that it would

A LARGER VAULT
Securing One Makes Delay in
Judd Building.
Bank OF Hawaii Ouarters-Furni'
ture = House Cleaning - The
Money to Be Made.

Considerable progress has been made
on the interior OF the Judd Building
during the past few days. The wood
work is now engaging the attention OF
the workmen.
The Martha Davis, now twenty -one
days out from San Francisco and due
to reach here on any day, has in her
cargo the glass for the building. This
will be set Immediately after ar
rival and will give the block a finished
appearance from the outside. The con-
tract calls for the completion of the
building by March !. IL Is quite GER
tain now that this cannot be accom-
plished until some time In the latter
part of the month, due, however, to no
fault OF the contractor, Fred Harrison.
The elevator, which was built by the
Crane people, OF Chicago, Is on the
way. This elevator cost $500 and is
Of the highest class turned out by the
Company.
The building will also be modernized
by mail chute. Arrangements have
been made with Postmaster General
Dat for the collection OF the mails al
certain hours.
The Bank OF Hawaii has planned
the arrangement of its fixtures. The
main entrance to the bank will be on
the corner OF Fort and Merchant
streets. There will be passage ways
leading along Fort street as well as
the Merchant street side. The paying
teller's window will face the main en-
trance.
The furniture OF the bank will be of
oak with the bronze grill. A San Fran
cisco concern has secured the contract.
The vault will be placed in the rear OF
the room. Originally II was intended
that c. Brewer a. Company should oc-
cupy the corner. When this firm de-
cided to build a home OF its own, and
the Bank of Hawaii secured the corner,
IL became necessary to change the
vault plan. This is why there has been
a delay in the arrival OF the banks
vault.
The Judd building must be consid-
cred an experiment In many ways.
Some criticism has been made on the
ceilings, the complaint being that they
were too low. The height Is eleven
feet. This, the owners consider, Is
ample, they insisting that the space
above the tops OF the window will hold
nothing but top air." Every room In
the block has been made an outside
room, by the cutting out of a corner in
the rear OF the building. Ventilators
have been put in wherever 1t was pos
sible to do so.
George II. Carter promises a sensa-
ton In the form of keeping the block
absolutely clean. He announces that
two lively janitors will be employed to
devote their entire time to this work.
An erroneous impression has crept
into the minds Of some people concern
ing the profits that will be made on
the block. The owners announce that
they viii! be satisfied IL they realize
per cent on their money invested. Even
should the block be filled with tenants
all the time an income OF not over
per cent will be realized.
Up to the present time about half OF
the Offices have been leased. Alexander
Baldwin have secured six rooms on
the top floor, where an excellent view
OF the harbor can be obtained.
