NEW BUILDINGS
REPLACING Old

err, King and Pauahi streets, in China

the hundreds who pass by on the cars

will be but few short weeks now
when the whole section, barring cou-
pie of structures. will be rebuilt

vicinity. 1t is supplied with electric
lights and the outhouses are arranged
so that the sanitation of the place is
good. Every store and every living
room has already been taken and many
of the tenants have already moved in.
