Mr.. PARKER AGAINST
new BRIDGE OVER BAY
Fav0rs Making Double Decker of
Present Structure Across
Newark Bay.

BAYONNE, Aug 10.-A hearing
under the auspices of the special
committee appointed by the Hudson
county board of 'freeholders in regard
to building bridge across Newark
bay, from Bayonne to Elizabeth, took
place In Bayonne Thursday night.
The general sentiment seemed to be
in favor of the bridge.
Among the speakers was Congress
man r. Wayne Parker, of Newark.
He said in part:
IL expected to meet others from
Union who would tell us what they
think, and that we should perhaps
have estimates as to the cost of con-
struction and maintenance, and what
travel would be likely | know so lit
tie about the construction and main
tenance of a bridge that | will not
say anything on that subject. You
will have to consider it.
81 begin with what will be my last
word. Since | have considered this
there are too many bridges built
where one would suffice. | thoroughly
believe if any wagon road is to go
across Newark Bay that it would be
cheaper and better to make arrange
ments with the railroad, which must
rebuild the bridge, for the construc-
tion of q double decked bridge upon
piers, so as not to obstruct naviga-
tion, and in order that wagons may
go under or over the railroad tracks
and that the cost of this communities
tion may be mostly paid by the rail
road instead of being wholly put up
on the counties.
1--WE all know that this is done on
many railroad bridges, and | think il
should be perhaps a provision of gen
eral law that no bridge should cross
a waterway without providing for the
accommodation and use of all roads
We have provision in many United
States laws that the bridge author
lied to be built across a navigable
waterway shall be a highway which
can be used by any railroad upon
proper terms, and thus telegraph
lines and trolleys can be put across
That is, ! believe that bridge, which
always does interfere with navigtion
more or less, should be so arranged
as to be used by as many people as
possible and the cost shared between
as many possible"

MADE
PLANS FOR

pleted the plans for a $35 600 hotel

and made entirely of colored cement
blocks trimmed with terra Gotta. Ev-
cry modern device will be installed
to make it thoroughly up to date.
The plans call for thirty lodging
rooms, parlor, an office, garage, five
bath rooms, private hall, and din
ing room, which will also be used as
a restaurant. The structure will have
frontage of seventy-five feet on
Market street, and fifty feet on Pros

hotel will be the garage, which -
thirty feet wide on Market street, and
one hundred feet deep, having con-
crete floor the whole length OF 1t. In

NEW DOG TAGS
HAVE ARRIVED.
Former Round Ones Replaced by
HexagOnal Shaped Tags An
other Slaughter Soon.

The city clerk has received the new
dog tags and has mailed one to every
dog owner who has taken out IL
cense since June /.
All those who have not received
new tags should get them at once,
as the old round ones are now useless
and all dogs wearing them are liable
to be killed.
Besides differing from the old tags
in material, the new ones are hexa-
gonal shape and are a little larger
than those formerly used. Now that
the tags have arrived, nothing is in
the way to prevent another dog hunt
by the policemen, and Chief Burke
will probably arrange for one to take
place soon some night.

Honolulu, August 81, 1906.
John Lanakila, Esq, Kamuela, Hawaii.
Sir I beg to acknowledge receipt of
your communication of the Oath inst,
also petition from residents of the Ko-
hala District requesting that the money
appropriated by the last Legislature
for the completion of the road between
Wainea and Kona be expended. After
a careful consideration of the appro-
priations, as made by the last Legisla-
ture, the Governor finally decided that
the construction of new roads was not
work that should be properly under
taken by the Territory, inasmuch as
the various counties are supposed to
have charge of the construction and
maintenance of all roads.
1t would hardly seem proper to Dor
row money on the Territory's credit
for such work, which would be for the
sole benefit of the county in which the
road was situated. You will, there
fore, understand why no work has been
done on the South Kohala-Kona road.
would suggest that you bring the
matter to the attention of the County
Supervisors of the County of Hawaii.
Yours respectfully,
