NEW HALL BUILDING
NOW UNDER CONTRACT

the cornice. much ornamental iron
work, the contract for which has been
let to the Honolulu Iron Works which
is already getting out the work.
AT a meeting of the directors of f.
o. Hall & Son, Ltd. held yesterday
morning, it was decided to award the
contract for the erection of the build
ing to Fred Harrison. Mr.. Harrison s
, tender was for $3S, 600, which was not
the very lowest bid, but taking into
consideration the time in which he
agreed to complete the work the mem
bers of the board felt completeIy justi-
fed in making the award.
The lowest bidder fer the work was
john 0uGerkirk. who has just corG2l";e,i
the han'aome Mcintyre building on the
opposite corner but owing TO the fact
that the time set out for the completion
of the work in his tender was three
months longer than what was asked by-
/ Mr.. Harrison, and the difference in the
| price being only $500, the decision to
! make the award to the latter was reach
! ed. 1t became, in fact a matter of time
! as this IS Of much Importance, owing -
| the fact taat the lease has only a com
! paratively few years yet To run while
| the difference in the price is much less
| than the rental value, and the being il
| its own stand is worth thousands of col
lars to the firm. The present quartel >
are so cramped that every day out of its
own building means much loss TO The
company. 1t was for these reasons that
| the specifications set forth that each bid
der should state the shortest time IN
which he would agree to complete the
structure.
| Had there been no time consideration
the work would have been done by Mr
! Ouderkirk, without doubt, as his ;tnder
was 1867 below that of the successful bid
der; but ~ taking the saving OF rent ana
known corner into consideration. there .
said to be, by the members Of tre com
pany, cleir gain to them in the higher
figures.
! The date set by Mr Harrison assures
the Hall firm of it's own building within
the next i've months. The plans show
that this viii be one of the most beau
tiful of the many structures which have

RAPID TRANSIT ORDERS
TWO NEW LINES BUILT
KaIihi and Pawaa Extensions Will be
Placed Under Contract. and
Rushed through.

There is time limit in each con-
tract which guarantees the pushing of
the work. In the case of the Kalihi line
it is understood that the work of con-
struction shall be completed within ten
weeks after the signing of the contract
The offer of Ashley & Paris was to
build the shorter line and have it in
shape for the cars within two months
of the contract being let There is
nothing to be done in either case but
the filing of the bonds and the signing
of the necessary papers, so that there
is every reason TO believe that there
will be no more than ten days elapse
before the breaking of ground for the
extensions, and that the New Year will
see the lines practically in shape for the
cars.
Mr.. Makee, the successful bidder for
the Kalihi line, said last evening that
, he was ready to get to work on the
line at once. He said .he had been
waiting for the past two weeks for the
decision and that he had all arrange
| ments for the work, completed. The
! legal preliminaries would not, he said,
| take much time and in his opinion he
would be able to get to work within ten
days.
Messrs. Ashley K Paris have their
| rock crusher about ready for operations
on their quarry near the tract which
they control. so that they expect to be
able to rush their work. They will thus
have a rapid transit line right to the
entrance to their tract, and this Bill
compensate for the rights of way
through it which have been granted.
At the meeting of the board of direc-
tors it was decided that for the con-
venience of the passengers ON the cleo
trio cars, there should be prepared for
issue tickets over the line, which will
be sold in strings of five tickets at the
regular price, % cents for the string.
This will meet a demand which has
been made upon the company for this
accommodation.
The wages Of both the conductors and
the motormen Of the company were
