HOLLOWAY THINKS
CONTINUED from Pare ~

e
under which the dam is being built
There are so many different items in
this contract against which the work
must be charged that it requires sew
eral men to watch the work and see
that the cost Is charged against the
right account, as well as that the
proper material goes into the dam and
the work Is done as it should be.
One clause of the contract provides
ior. extra work. the cost of which
is to be estimated by the Superinten-
dent of Public Works and the con-
tractor allowed this amount plus Is
per cent as reasonable profit. Since
Engineer, Kellogg made his recon-
mendations and so many changes were
recessitated. Mr.. Fisher states that a
very large proportion of the work
done has been listed as extra. work, g
and the contractor has drawn his Is
per cent profit on it. AS the accounts
are certified by Superintendent Hollo-
way, Auditor Fishe' says h. has moth
iDt left to do bat to lav them, no
matter how unreasonable it may seem
10 do SO.
The matter of the payrolls has been
adjusted by having the expense
charged to the contractor, who thus
makes his Is per cent profit off of this,
and the Territory loses this much
extra. The matter of the salary of
b. +. Rowland has not been settled.
Mr.. Holloway says he is awaiting an
opinion from the Attorney General, to
whom the trouble has been referred.

piece of work will be done under
much different operations than has
heretofore been employed about the

been asceftained that the bedrock,
below the coral formation is of a
much harder nature than any en-

LIMITED STAY
Of ATLANTIC FLEET
influences At Work To
Shorten Their
Visit

The length of time that the fleet
may remain in Pacific waters depends
entirely on the magnitude of the
pull that can be demonstrated by
the Atlantic and Pacific sides of the
United States. The East has come
out flatfooted with statement of
the losses they will sustain through
the TACT that something like Is, 900
men will be deprived of work on anu
about the war feet that they have
come to look upon as their undisput-
ed right.
The strongest kind of influence is
at work on the eastern seaboard TO
prcvt it If possible, the departure OF
he feet, or failing in that, to cause
its Immediate return to Atlantic wat
crs alter a very limited stay on the
Pacific side. If the influence of the
east will outweigh that of the west,
the stay of the feet in Pacific waters
will be very brief. a

LOS OF LIFE IN HAWAII
No servant Problem There, but
Mosquitoes Present impress
sive bills.

Birds are everywhere In Hawaii Their
music fills the quivering air. one won
ders why we do not all live In this para
disc. where life seems to stretch out be-
fore one In a long, languid dream OF de-
light
Suddenly through your dreaming comes
a rude awakening The Hawaiian mos
quito, the one flaw In the gem. the only
thorn in the garden, has called to make
your acquaintance and bid you welcome to
his domain.
The houses. with their broad verandas
filled with palms and flowers and fur
nished with tables chairs hammoclls and
grass rugs, are a paradise to the weary
traveller. 1t is here that the Honolulu
people enjoy their glorious climate.
The lawns, thick and velvety as car
pet, were kept in perfect order by the yard
boys, for experienced ,servancs-Chinese,
japanese and Portuguese-can always be
had. In fact, the servant problem causes
no worry to the housewife, who has but
little anxiety in this land Of plenty
Everybody seems to take life easily.
The Offices close very early, and no one
seems to know what care is. The sugar
barons, their capital once rightly invested,
draw their dividends, and the rest Of life
is required to spend them.
We stop at the home Of our friend, a
bungalow that is the picture of comfort.
One end Of the veranda is used as a sun
parlor, sheltered by windows and screens,
for what they call cold days-6O degrees
above zero.
Numerous rooms connect with this. the
dining room being a veranda at the other
end Of the house, and the kitchen a sep
arate building though connected by a
rooted veranda. The guest chambers are
cottages by themselves
The bath is hewn out of solid stone with
shower above. Servants are provided
for In quarters apart from the house. The
whole, in fact, greatly reminds one Of an
old southern plantation home with modern
improvements.
Just in front Of the house. spreading its
great limbs at least sixty feet in dame
ter, is a great monkey pod tree, and I'M
der its protecting branches the children
and older ones, too, enjoy the swings and
hammocks in an atmosphere which lulls
to sleep. AS we sit here. at midnight,
dressed in the thlnnest Of summer cloth
ing, with never a wrap, watching the moon
rise out Of the sea, we understand why the
Hawaiian so loves his islands-W orld' s
Work.

CHIcAGo'S NEW CITY HALL
Imposing Grime-CoIOred Pile to Be
Replaced by n Modern
Structures.

Chicago has decided to follow the example
of Cook county and duplicate the county
building now under way on the square
Jointly owned by city and county 1t is
estimated to cost $6,O0OOOO.
The new building is to be modern in
every line of construction and special at
tention is to be paid to light, ventilation
and space for the various municipal offices
Like those in most cities the old city hall
is a massive, gloomy looking structure,
built with an idea of furnishing an impos-
ing appearance from the outside. 1t is a
type Of the old-style city hall and for years
has been Inadequate. While the new build
ing il not be lacking in architectural de-
sign and exterior ornamentation, such as q
large Corinthian collonade with carved pill
lars, about ninety feet in height, 1t Is to
be more like an office building in appear
ance combining dignity and beauty with
practical Office rooms in the interior. The
building is to be duplicate Of the county
building in Chicago.
The work of tearing down the old city
hall is to begin about June l. The city
has now about $4,000 with which to make
the start. Two plans for the construction
of the building have been suggested. One
is that work proceed by piecemeal, I'm
ishing II when the money is obtained. The
other plan is to let the contract to some
large firm with the understanding that the
firm receive its pay in a certain number
Of years.
The new city hall is to be a duplicate OF
the new county building, which is now be-
ing finished in the same square. A com
mittee Of city oficials recently inspected
the county building and decided that 1
would be bad taste to erect a new building
of different architectural design alongside.
The new city hall is to connect with the
county building, making, in fact, $4,000
900 structure.

A Bachelors idea.
She's somewhat slim,
But taut and prim,
She seeks him,
To suit her within.
And when he's found,
She veers around,
Leaves him aground,
Like ship Bloodhound
Her love she'll smother;
Then seek another
Deluded brother
With languid smile!
All, friend, take warning:
The smile adjoining
This elf Of morning
Is merely guile.
Her golden tresses,
Which she processes
Undyed-her dresses,
Her eyes Of blue;
Her matchless motions,
Her creamy lotions,
Her soft emotions
Are all-untrue!
