PLAY GROUND SITE
ALMOST SETTLED
T meeting of the Mckinley

T a meeting of the Mckinley
Memorial Executive Committee
held Yesterday afternoon it was
practically decided to accept the offer
Of the Bishop estate tor ten acres of
land at Pawaa to be utilized for 9 pub
lie playground. No definite action was
taken upon the matter aside from the
appointment of committee to secure
estimates for filling in the land in ques-
ton, but it is quite generally under
stood among the members of the COM
mittee that the Pawaa site Is to be Sc
lected.
Those in attendance at yesterdays
meeting, which was held IN C. NJ
Cookies office, were: Acting Governor
Cooper, Rev. w. ID. Westervelt, +. A.
Schaefer J. A. McCandless, Mr. Imam
ishi and Secretary Halves. The dis
cussion centered about the selection Of
site for the memorial playground
which the committee had already de-
cided is to be the form which Hawaiis
memorial to the late President McKin-
Icy shall take. Though several sites Of
-ered were satisfactory, yet the price
placed upon them by their owners was
far above that which the executive
committee felt itself capable of secur-
ing in the Territory. At the same time
1t was generally agreed that some
active steps must be taken to show the
people that the committee was at work
and that there was a goal which ii is
hoped TO reach. The only site for
playground which is anywhere within
the limit of the expenditure the eXecu-
tive committee desired to make is the
Bishop estate tract at Pawaa. The
price placed upon the land by the
Bishop trustees is $3.50 per acre, the en-
tire tract consisting of ten acres. How
ever, the land is unavailable in it's
present condition and considerable fill
ing and improving is required to make
Ii meet the requirements of the execu-
tive committee. The filling is the prin-
cipal item of expense and n committee
was appointed to investigate this
question and report to n meeting to be
held soon to ascertain from contractors
for what the work could be done.
Rough estimates of the work have al
ready been placed in the hands OF the
committee, showing the cost TO be from
5000 TO $500 per acre. This would make
the total cost of the land somewhere
in the neighborhood of $1,000 per acre,
or probably total expenditure of from
$40 600 to $4,000.
The resignation OF Henry Waterhouse
, as chairman of the Honolulu committee
vas presented and accepted and the
! Craftsmanship was offered to Mr.. ]. G.
Rothwell. Mr.. Waterhouse leaves soon
for three months tour of Europe and
as the committee expects TO do the
greatest amount of work In the near
! future a new chairman for the local
! committee is required.

CABLE MEASURES sdELVED.
Mackay Renders Government Line
Superfnty

WASHINGTON. April 1l.-There is
almost no talk nowadays Of Pacific cable
bills, and ii appears to be generally
conceded that nothing win be done by
Congress this session. The construc-
ton of a cable TO Honolulu by John w.
Mackay's company. which, 1t is re-
ported, will be completed by November
seems to have satisfied the majority
OF the members of Congress that a
Government cable would be superflu-
lily. Mackay has fled a guarantee with
the Department OF Justice concerning
rates, and agrees to submit to regula-
tons imposed in case OF war. including
censorship, right of way of Government
messages, etc. What more do we
want?" asked a Pacific Coast Senator
today. We're getting Pacific Coast
cable as it is. Why should Congress
bother about it,"

That feature Of the scheme will have
the aid of the same committee which
worked so hard to have the initial
steps taken for the furtherance of the
scheme.
The plan proposed by the jury is one
which not only will make the road of
the width desired by the promoters. but
will straighten out some of the awk
ward kinks in 1t. The first of this
KIND of change is said TO be the rum
ming of a line which will give sweep
ing curve to the road about the point
where the Hopkins switch is placed.
and the second involves the drawing Of
straight line along the Hawaiian Ho-
tel Annex property, from the Bishop
switch corner to the stream. With the
exception Of the last named the entire
plan is that of Superintendent j. II.
Boyd. The jury reports as follows:
The undersigned jurors in the above
case met at the Office of the high sher-
in on Saturday, the 18th inst, at 10
o'clock, in company with the deputy

as follows:
kai side of the road on the property
Of the Bishop Estate now occupied by

run in straight course from the Eva

and that the line on the mauka side

That with this change the jury are
unanimous in recommending that the
proposed widening and alterations in
the said road as laid out on n map in
the office of the Superintendent of Pub

by the proper officers Of the govern
mcnt so to do.

The vessels, both san and steam, are
from all parts of the world, and no
