vides for the regulation Of the street car

service lie remarked that he was not a
stickler for any particular schedule, but
desired that the cars should run at regu-
lar intervals and should not be over
crowded. as they often are at present. He
cited cases when the cars had carried
three times as many passengers as the
regular capacity and said that to his abso-
Lutte knowledge two ladies had been rem
dered i'll by breathing the contaminated
air caused by this crowding together with
poor ventila tion.
The Committee on Schools and School
houses was instructed to confer with the
Commissioners in regard to the condition
of lexington School. at First and quincy
Streets northeast. Several OF the mem
bers who have children who attend that
school called attention to the fact that

the building had not been properly heated
and that il had on several occasions been
necessary to dismiss the pupils because
the rooms were too cold for work

road company and had acceded to the in

roo MANY POLES
~ THE STREETS

The time is at hand when Honolulu
should ipangurate a reform IN the
matter OF poles In the streets At
present there are separate poles for
the Government lights. for the Ha-
waIIan Electric Company. for the
Telephone Company and for the Rapid
Transit Company. Within distance
Of 200 feet on Hotel street between
Fort and Nuuanu are no less than
eleven poles belonging 10 the Gov
eminent and the different corpora
tions. At the junction Of Hotel and
Richard streets within a distance Of
less than $50 feet are nine poles This
is fully six too many. When the
Rapid Transit Company laid its lines
along Liliha street il arranged with
the Telephone Company for a joint
use OF the poles. and the electric light
wires could be carried on the same
poles. By putting up large poles. the
telephone wires can be placed near
the top. the light wires next below
them. and then the wires OF the cleo
trio railroad BY this arrangement
there would be no danger OF the burn
ing out Of telephones by falling light
wires. and the appearance of the
streets would not be marred a. at
present
Many Of the old telephone and light
poles are so rotten that they must
be replaced with new poles in the
very near future. In placing the new
poles. The Republican cannot see why
such an arrangement as was made

out all over the city Why cannot the

ter. and thus preserve the beauty Of
the streets. as far as possible?
