One of the good subscrib,

One of the good subscribers to
the WEEKLY HERALD had run be-
hind a little and in response to a
statement he came in Saturday, set
tied up all that was due and paid a
year in advance. In place of being
little provoked as some are be-
cause they receive a statement of
account, he was pleased and appre-
ciative. He said THE HERALD had
carried him through Democratic re-
verses into Republican good times
and he was glad to be able to pay for
the good reading matter he had en-
joyed in the past. 1t is great
pleasure to do business with that
kind of a man.

The Harbor Question.
Should commerce keep on increasing
as it has done in the last few years,
harbor accommodations will have to be

There will be no difficulty in doing
this, if the ways and means are forth
coming; and if the leading men of the
city will look ahead and plan for
extensions before we. are utterly
showed under by the inevitable in
crease OF commerce.
A dry dock also, which cannot be
constructed in a few months, should be
commenced at once. This should be of
the most modern type and large
enough to take the largest vessels
afloat. This dock may be built by pri-
vate enterprise or it may be a public
undertaking; but the fact that it will
be required in the near future stares
us in the face and demands immediate
attention.
All improvements in future should
be Of substantial nature, wooden
bridges occupying but half the width
of the street should be replaced by
stone or steel and made the full width
of the streets, and the same policy
should be carried out in all classes of
improvements.

Minister Young's Time
Iy Suggestions.
Growth of Honolulu Demands New
Building Laws, New Fire Linz
its and More Wharves.

Hon. Alexander Young, Minister of
the Interior, was interviewed on last
Saturday afternoon by an Advertiser
reporter, as follows:
Repiylng to your several questions
regarding general improvements for
honolulu, and in particular the extern
sion OF the sewerage system to locali-
tleS OF Importance outside of the lines
taken IN by the plans of Mr.. Rudolph
herring, prepared for the Government
In 1893, as well as all the localities
covered by said plans, I have to say
tnat IN calling for tenders for the COM
pletlon of the sewerage of Honolulu
the Government is mindful of the need
or extension beyond the limits covered
by Mr.. Herring's plans We have. by
the steamer Coptic, which sailed Feb
ruary 9th for the Mainland. sent for
ward plans and specifications inviting
tenders for labor and materials sonar
ately; not only for the completion of
the sewerage for Honolulu laid down
in Mr.. Herrings plans, but also to
cover several extensions ANTICIPATED
for outlying districts and for that
made necessary by the remodeling of
IL.
Growth of Honolulu.
Honolulu is growing rapidly. Beyond
a doubt the submarine cable connect
ing these Islands with the Mainland.
and which we will have shortly. will
accelerate the increase of population to
an enormous extent; so much so
IN fact, that | believe there will not
be accommodations for such influx of
people unless the property owners of
Honolulu bestir themselves. Hundreds
OF men and their families from other
lands would gladly spend a part Of
each year on our sunny shores, if they
could do SO and keep in touch with the
rest OF the world meanwhile. The great
waterway soon to be constructed
across the mainland continent. for the
accommodation of the commerce of all
nations passing from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and vice versa, when COM
pleted, will bring such an avalanche of
trade and travel to our shores as will
astonish even the most sanguine opti-
mist OF today regarding Honolulu,s fu-
ture.
The property owner who hangs back
in the breeding, like mule that does
not want to go, may have the enjoy
ment for little while of thinking that
he is blocking the game; but finally he
will find out that he cuts no figure in
retarding progress. He will be dragged
along by others equally determined,
who keep their ears forward and never
/ prove tickle in the onward march of
public Improvement. Vigorous and in
| te1ligent Improvement clubs may do
much to point out what is most need
ed throughout the city; and it is to be
hoped that such may soon be organized
in every district of Honolulu, composed
of unselfish men, who will keep their
course as much as possible away from
politics and centered wholly on public
benefaction.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-02-12
The improvements Needed.

What is now wanted in Honolulu
seems to me to be united effort on the
part of the citizens for improvements
on gigantic scale, carried out on the
most approved sanitary principles,
bearing in mind that that which is not
good is not cheap at any price. Let us
therefore have the very best, even
though it costs good deal of money.
We need better buildings, wider and
better made streets and roads. and
more of them, in both city and suburbs,
for the present and increasing popula-
ton and traffic of Honolulu. 1t will re-
qulre large sums of money to accom-
pllsh this; but no town or city ever re-
GREETED judicious expenditures for such
pubic improvements as roads, streets,
and sewers.
All tracts in and around Honolulu
unfit for human habitation on account
Of low level, should be improved. con-
verified into parks and planted with
suitable trees and shrubs. 1t has from
time to time been pointed out by Mr..
Allan Herbert, and others, that the
stretch of low-lying land extending
from Kakaako to Waikiki on the sea
beach, should be ditched properly and
converted into a public park.
The poorer people should not be
compelled, through their poverty, to
make their abode in such unwholesome
localities while there is room enough
on more elevated lands. AS a general
thing the healthfulness of a city. ia
ken as a whole, is only equal to the
most unhealthy sections of that city,
when trouble comes.
Property holders do not lose by
spending money for good houses and
best kind of sanitation; on the con-
trary, 1t is the most direct way to make
property paying investment. Be-
SIDES, no property owner has any right
TO let his property become insanitary
and dangerous menace to the health
OF himself or his fellow-men: such
should be an offense punishable by
heavy penalties imposed by law
Extend Fire Limits.
The fire limits should and must he
extended much beyond the present
lines. This extension. together with
coming legislation, to regulate the kind
of buildings to be allowed on any
street, will do much to control the re-
construction of Honolulu. and in the
long run benefit property owners and
all concerned.
coming events are today casting
their shadows before them; and it is
safe to predict. though Honolulu has
at present only a population of less
than $4,000 inhabitants, that the popu-
latlon in 1905 will be close to 100, 900
and that in 1910 not less than $50 900
people will be domiciled within and
around the city. of Honolulu.

seemed such tremendous expanse of
water that it would never be half used
