IMPROVEMENT CLUB
MET LAST EVENING
CENTRAL IMPROVEMENT COM
MITTEE MET AT PROMOTION
COMMITTEE LAST EVENING.

Charles r. Frazier, VINO represents
the billboard interests in town, appear
ed before the Central Improvement
Club last evening and stated that the
nuisance would be much abated in the
future. He stated that he would like
to remove all of them, but it was
cold business proposition on his part.
E. 1. Spalding called the attention of
the committee to the subject last even
ing. To the committee Mr.. Frazier
said:
Mr.. Spalding suggested to me to
confine the billboards to the business
districts" said Mr. Frazier. THAT
seems to me impossible for several
reasons. AS matter of business it is
necessary to have signs strewn along
at intervals so that repetition will
have it's advertising effect. If I should
confine the boards to down town.
might, for instance, lease the Bishop
lot across from the Young Hotel, and
surround it with fence and advertise
on it. That's what I'd have to do.
Billboard men ars VIGOROUSLY
cheeky as to putting up their signs,
but 1 am not altogether a billboard
man. AS long as l maintain control
of the boards here I shall be consider
rate of individual peoples feelings
when such boards are considered Of
fensive to the view of residents. I am
very sensitive about these things and
worry about them, but I don't think it
would improve matters if should step
out of it,"
Letters were read from the Depart
ment of Public Works in which It was
stated that different parts of the
grounds around the Judiciary building
would be attended to soon, but ut pres
ent the department was Handicapped
for lack of labor.
The Board of Supervisors communi-
Gated with the Committee and stated
that the patter of hOproving the
country road near Moanalua would be
investigated.
/ A. F. Grifhths wrote to the club and
suggested that they take steps in the
matter of the location of the Fedora
building Mr.. Spalding was of the OPP
inion however that such a course
would open up a controversy in the
town which would be unwise.
| At the suggestion of Mr. ingalls, II
was decided to write to the telephone
Rapid Transit and the Electric Co. and
request them to paint their poles G
dark green. This would make them In
conspicuous and would improve the
/ looks of the streets.

WILL SHIFT THE

WAS NOT FLOATED
YESTERDAY AND ADDITIONAL
WORK WILL BE NECESSARY.

THE Sheridan Tuesday morning
was as lively in the water as kitten"
was the reportb rought that night by
j. II. Kennedy President of the Inter
Island, who returned by the Iwalani
from the wrecked transport.
THE transport moved at least 100 feet
yesterday and there will be absolutely
no trouble i'm floating her although
there will be some delay.
THE delay will be occasioned by the
replacing of the anchors. She turned
yesterday in such way that it is i'm
perative that the anchors be shifted.
And then the pumps have cut out their
valves and new ones will have to be
put in. A new pump is also to be in
stalled in the engine room.
There will absolutely be no trouble
in floating her when the proper time
comes. The only delay will be in get
ting the anchors shifted and the pumps
refitted. A good deal of coal will have
to go overheard within the next week,
Probably about Wednesday of next
week she will be in the harbor, IT is
thought"
