NO SALOONS TO Dc
ON FORT STREET
1t is Said the Government Will
Refuse to License
Them.

Fort street will soon be thoroughfarc
unoccupied by single saloon. Governor
Dole, after mature thought has conclud-
ed that it would be better for Honolulu
If no rum shops We're permitted on this
principal retail business artery of the
city. The matter came up yesterday in
the meeting of the heads of the Terri
torial departments. For long time the
Orpheum Cafe has sought a liquor Ii
cense without success. The owner of the
establishment has represented that he
has n large patronage which desires in
toXicants with meals and that the pa
irons of the Orpheum theater want to
drink now and then and are unable to
find a saloon nearer than Hotel street.
Against the cafes plea is the protest
OF the Chinese church, across the street
from it. The church members object Sc
riously to saloon so near to them. 1t
is understood that the liquor shop about
to be built on the site of the old Pan
theon will not sell anything stronger
than pop and soda. The projectors of
the enterprise are now being bothered
by the Board of Health, which does not
propose TO allow any buildings on plague
spots until the sewer system is complet-
ment will not issue a license to the Pan
theon and will not reissue one to the
Criterion when its present one expires.
This Will mean that Fort street will be
a temperance street. Now in the morn
ing and afternoon II Is crowded with
shoppers and the presence of saloons oft
en- forces Objectionable sights on ladies
and children. There being no drinking
houses on the waterfront, the sailors
and loafers of that district come up to
the middle of town and imbibe and daw-
die about the saloons there. The worst
class does not. 1t is true, patronize Fort
street resorts, but the Government is in
formed that the merchants of that street,
as well as their customers, are anxious
to be rid OF what annoyance there is. II
seems likely that n license will be grant
ed TO some waterfront saloon, as 1t Is
asserted that several soft-drink places
alongshore turn out queer results from
beverages with innocent names.

read Friday bs Dr. Wood. 1he report

recommendations for the treatment of
tuberculoss in Hawaii. There was too
llllle time 10 BD over lile StStti-
day, Dr. Wood explaining that IT was q
very serious subject and should be gone
over carefully.
Another of DR.. Garvin's recommenda-
tions was to bring all the departments of
the Board of Health under one roof. and
suggested that the Government Dispen-
sary, morgue. food and meteorological
laboratories be brought together. Offices
should be opened for the heads of the
various health bureaus. and a large Of
flee for the use of the Health Board. DR..
Wood stated 1t was time to take action
in the matter There was no proper
place at present for holding post-mortem
examinations. Furthermore the present
morgue was too far away from the lab
oratory and the dispensary. Plans have
already been prepared for the new build
ing for the Board of Health, but changes
will have to be made in them If DR.. Gar
WINS suggestions are carried out. 1T
was stated that there is about $4,000
available for the construction of such
building. Mr.. Lowrey and Dr. Emerson
were appointed a committee to nvesti-
gate the matter.
The executive officer also recommended
that all persons who are engaged In the
carrying on of business relating to the
Act to Mitigate" be required in future
TO pay Il fee for the examination which
is required by the law. by so doing DR..
Garvin believes a reduction of the
Boards expense could be made. He esu-
mated a saving of about $1,JI5 per ann'm.
The Board adjourned at 5:l5 until to-
morrow at 2 o'clock.

South Church had grown since 1866

During this whole period there has
been but one year of decrease. The
church does missionary work in China,
Japan, Corea, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil and
elsewhere. For foreign and domestic
missions 1t collected and disbursed not
far from 100000 per annum. The fixed
loan funds aggregate 100000; funds
gathered from the congregations annu-
ally amount to about $4,000. Trinity

$500, 600 from Washington Duke and his
sons. and will probably get whatever
