TIES TALKING ABOUT
LOCATION.

Waikiki, May 3O.-Judge Kalua re-
turned from Honolulu by last nights
w. q. Hall. He has brought up with
him the plans of the architects for the
new county building for Maui, to be
erected In Wailuku, the county seat.
whenever the S35 900 appropriation in
the proposed Loan Bill be available.
There are two plans and these will
be ON exhibition In the court house dur
ing the session OF the term. Both plans
are good and II carried out according
TO the tastes Of the architects, the
building will be the finest outside vi
Honolulu.
Large and airy Offices for county Of
iicias will be on the first floor, while
the court matters will be confined To
the second floor. A few changes 10
the plans, however, would improve
them greatly, and II Is expected this
! will be done before the plans are fins
ally adopted
Another question that II bruitIng in
the minds OF the Maui public Is the
material that will be used in the con-
struction Of the building whether II
shall be of Hawaiian black stone or ot
brick. The former, II is argued, would
add materially To the beauty, not TO
say economy, Of the building, and some
knowing ones seem to know where
such stones are located.
Another question that Is worrying
the heads Of officials Is the proper loca-
ton for the county building. The pres
ent court house is situated about an
eighth Of a mile from Market street,
which IL considered quite within city
limits. But some argue that that Is
too far out OF town. and the only and
ultimate location of the building will
be anywhere along Market, street, and
that two acres can be gotten for u
handsome sum from some liberal and
patriotic citizen, who perhaps could be
prevailed upon by some influential
member OF this community to donate
two acres Of land for public purposes.
A large number Of the citizens OF
Maui. however, would prefer the pres
ent location, for u distance OF an
eighth OF a mile. which IL almost one
fourth the distance from the Honolulu
pOstOiliCe to the judiciary building, IL
not to be considered too far by any
means, and none but those who are con
stantly suffering from the agonies OF
rheumatism and other bodily ailments
would ever consider that distance far
il IL TO be remembered, Of course, that
Wailuku has no such facilities as Tho
Rapid Transit and automobiles. and the
condition OF the roads would not ever
permit the unlimited use Of the eyel
handy bicycle. But, taken all in all
the present location entirely owned b.
the government, IL neither too far MOI
0 too small for the proposed count.
