space. 1t would have to succeed" He continued
Why. the old tenement houses threw away at
least Is per cent in building They were ana are
wasteful. There are long, unnecessary corridors,
halls in them using up far more space than IL need
full and with all this space wasted the rooms
are dark. The inner rooms look out on airsha1ts OF
less than feet inches. There are no fre walls
OF any kind. and these tenement houses are SO
built that a fire sweep through DOCK OF
them. the narrow air spaces at the sides acting as
fues Now, the new tenement houses are punt
with @ central court a court at the back. Ihere
are no long halls. saving of actual space Is at
once effected in walls and corridors. No window
looks out on a space less than eighteen feet wide.
Everything is wholesome and private. People want
light and air. There here light rooms for
dark rooms 1t costs much to build dark room
as one that is light, IL must be remembered
The economy OF plan, the new idea OF building,
the getting away from the scheme OF building a
tenement house a twenty-five foot lot which VIII
always be impossible. II sanitary and profitable re-
suits are to be reached are what make the new
tenement houses successful 1t is practicable under
these plans 10 actually build more than 80 per cent
of the space where formerly 65 per cent was the
limit For thoroughly good tenement building
plot at least one hundred feet square Is needed.
That allows for proper court, the laying about
a centre. The owners have more space to sell,
the apartments pleasant. They can be rented
at the same price as the rest OF the neighborhood
more readily and more certainly That explains
why model tenement houses pay.

she had time to think.

Multi Men Meet.

In response to call from Henry
Waterhouse the men who subscribed
for shares in the Multi Sugar Co.
met this morning and did some good
business. The following officers
were elected to serve for the ensu.
ing year: Henry Waterhouse, presi-
dent; F. M. Hatch, vice president;
Henry Waterhouse, Jr., treasurer;
R. W. Single, secretary; Tom May,
auditor. The above-named officers
together with Francis Gay and
Cecil Brown are the directors OF the
new company, which will start oper-
atoms at once on large scale.
One of the best features OF the
new sugar company is that the
stocks are held mainly by the kama
ainas, and that the promoter, Mr..
Henry Waterhouse, has favored the
Small" men of old residence here
to throwing the shares on a foreign
market. With men like Francis
Gay, Cecil Brown, Tom May, F. NJ.
Hatch and others connected with
the Warehouse firm, it is safe to
say that the Multi sugar concern
will be Klondike affair.
Mr.. Waterhouse leaves for Kohala
on Friday to close the bargains for
lands. 1t is whispered that before
long the new company will possess
all the sugar lands from Hawi to
Multi and will own one of the big
gest sugar plantation in the world.
The mill at the Kohala sugar plan
tation could be temporarily used
for all the cane Of the district and
the smaller mills be abandoned.
The Multi stockholders" will
await the return of Mr.. Henry
Waterhouse from Hawaii with deep
interest, and the stock dealers will
sit up at nights until they hear that
he has Halawa, Kohala, the Union,
Rycroft and Hawi.
