Architect II. L. Kerr of Honolulu
arrived by Friday nights Mauna Loa.
with authority from the Public Works
Department to select a site for the
Jail and fire department in wailuku.
On Saturday afternoon a conference
between the officials OF Maui and Mr..
| Kerr was held, at which definite plans
were practically agreed upon. The
jail and fire department are to be in
one building. for the construction Of
which $4,000 Is available. The build
Ing as planned is to be of concrete and
practically freproof 1t will be two
stories in height the lower story CT
which will be basement In which will
be located the cells of the prisoners.
The upper floor will be used for the
OFFICES OF the sheriff, jailors and police
department. The room for the hose
carts will be at the front entrance of
the lower floor, with large door for
egress. covered passage Is plann-
ed which Will lead directly from the
prisoners cells to the dock Of the new
court room in the court house to be
built. The present grounds will be
raised three or four feet to the front
OF the jail. thus deepening the base
ment, so that only a short flight Of
front steps will be required to reach
the upper floor. When Mr.. Kerr sub
mits his report, plans will at once be
prepared and bids called for, so that
within the next three months, the
erection of the new Jail and fire de-
partment will be begun. The new jail
Will stand back about 90 feet from the
street and on the same side of the
courthouse that 1t now r'ands, though
probably a short distance south of the
present Jail building.
Work Will not be begun on the court
house until the legislature can meet
and make any changes necessary In
the law. 1t is now beginning to be
understood that the sum of $4,000 is
entirely inadequate for the purpose
of erecting a sufficiently large and
roomy building for court and county
building and the suggestion has well
been made that a portion of the APP
say 100000, might we'll and wisely be
diverted to the purpose of erecting a
proper county building which should
require at least $4,000. Now that
the II. c. & S. Co. are planning for an
elaborate break water and deep water
pier at Kahului, the need for an adj
ditional harbor at our seaport has
ceased. AS a county building Is some
