PEOPLE TO MEET
AN EFFORT TO GET A SMALL

PROVED MAKING A BOULEVARD

A meeting has been called of all
property owners and residents on
School street. at the residence Of Post
master ]. g. Pratt for O'Clock. The
object of the meeting is to see If some
thing cannot be done to secure the i'm
provement of the short portion of
School street between Nuuanu and
Fort. With the exception of this por-
ton, the entire street is well maca-
damized, and forms a splendid boule-
ward between the Palama and Ka1ihi
sections of the city and Makiki It is
free from car tracks and makes a reg
ular boulevard.
The Supervisors have not improved
this part of the street before because
an expensive bridge is needed at Pa
uoa stream. But it is claimed that
the present wooden bridge can be made
serviceable at small expense, and that
this with the improvement of the small
stretch of street indicated would make
through boulevard connecting two
otherwise distant parts of the city.

MAY FURTHER
LIMIT SALOONS
LICENSE COMMISSION DISCUSSES
ADvIsABILITY OF HAVING NO
SALOONS ABOUT FISH MARKET

A meeting of the Liquor License
Commission was held yesterday after
noon. The most important measure
considered was the question of grant
ing licenses for saloons in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the fish market Chief
of Detectives Taylor was present and
asked relative to this matter. He said
that large percentage of persons ar
rested for intoxication said on the
Monday morning followin gthe Satur-
day of their arrest that they had
bought the liquor in some saloon near
the fish market. He said that the
presence of numerous intoxicated or
half intoxicated men in that part of the
town made it very unpleasant for wo-
men to visit the fish market on Satur-
day afternoon. In response to a ques-
ton Taylor said that the refusal on the
part of the Commission to issue Ii
censes within a block of the Fish Mar
ket would remedy the trouble provided
too many licenses were not issued in
that one section. The matter will be
further considered at a later meeting.
The matter of various applications
for licenses was considered. Many OF
the applicants did not appear to have
gained the correct idea in filling out
the blanks. 1t is necessary that de-
scription of the frontage, depth and
other details of the property where the
saloon license is desired be given.
w. P. Fennell, the new License In.
spector, took his oath of office and was
also given a commission by Sheriff Tau
kea.
The question of granting a saloon
license at Kahauiki near the military
reservation was discussed. Some OF
the members of the commission

Ogawa, woman, and TaSao, a man,
both of them Japanese, we're before
the court to answer to the charge of
adultery. The hearing was resumed

The odd feature of the case is the
fact that both of the defendants are
old offenders, according to the records
Of the court. Both were before the
court last October, to answer to fden-
tically the same charge that confronts
them now. Both were found guilty on
that occasion. The woman got two
months in Jail while the man was sem
fenced to serve three months.
But those heart-storms are fearful
and cause the victims to forget the
