GREAT AREAS TO

Mr.. Joseph Vance, who as the repre-
sentative of Miller, Sloss &, Scott Of san
Francisco, has been spending the past
touring the islands, will leave in
the Sonoma with a greater idea of the
future of the group than he had when
he came, though he has been a careful
observer of island movements for many
years. In the opinion of Mr.. Vance
there will be greater development in
the future and the line of progress will
be so varied that there will be no ques-
ton as to the stability of the prosper
ity which will come. Il travelled over
the islands of Hawaii and Maui" said
Mr.. Vance yesterday. "and l was more

UNIFORmIrr N STREET SIGNS.

The question Of signs al street corners Is mp
again before the city government, as well il
may be. There are really few more urgent
needs than the general, accurate and uniform
provision of such signs We may say. aud
truly, that il Is a minor matter compared with
the need of rapid transit. OF clean and We'll

Of honest and efficient police. And Yet s thing
is not altogether minor which directly affects
the convenience Of the entire public. nor is an
evil small one which daily causes To hundreds
of thousands of people annoyance. uncertainty.
needless labor and loss of time. That the SEC
Ond city OF the world should have practically
none OF its streets well marked and most OF
them not marked at ALL is simply a disgrace 10
our civilization. The question s. now up In
relation 10 putting the signs upon the corner
buildings, instead OF upon posts az the curb.
There are various considerations, pro and con
ira. Doubtless a metal sign fastened 10 the side
Of building is more secure from accidental or
wanton defacement or destruction than a glass
sign on n lamppOst. Doubtless. too. II il cheaper.
since for the latter special posts would in
many cases have 10 be provided. On The other
hand. IL might not be- as conspicuous or as
legible as the post sign; aud legibiliiy is one of
the prime considerations. There are. moreover.
where there are no buildings but parks In
such cases posts would have 10 be employed. or
the streets left unmarked Take, for example,
Fifth-ave. from Fifty-nn 10 0ne-hundred- and

next 20 the Park would have 10 cross over 10
The other side. or carry and use telescopes, 10
ascertain what streets they were passing.
Legibility being granted the first essential.
the second may we'll be- uniformity. IL il
eminently desirable that all the signs shall be-
exactly alike, in size, style color. etc. 80 that
they viii Instantly be recognized a what they
are, and not be mistaken for something else.
They should also be exactly uniform in situ-
alton. So that every one will know instinctiyely
Just where 10 look for them. There IL little
use In having sign IL you must stop and hunt
for IL al every corner, or II you have 10 look a
second or third time 10 make sure that il is not
a gargoyle or patent letter box. Whatever
kind OF sign is adopted. IL should be just one
kind, and not dozen; aud a kind that is ap-
plieable 10 all places where signs are needed.
